Okay entry, at best, with a different kind of ending for TZ. Maybe the conclusion's not too plausible, but it does strike an optimistic note. Jackie's a scared little man who apparently does menial gangland errands. That's except for now, when slickster boss George wants him to kill a defenseless old man. Fed up with Jackie's cringing life-style, a part of him shears off TZ-style and confronts him as a mirror reflection. Now the little man must argue with his doppelganger about how he's lived his life.
I guess symbolically we can take the double as a side of Jackie that he's suppressed for years. It's a more conventional life-style that the double's arguing for, shaming the dominant side for taking the weakest way out because he's small and insignificant looking. So how will the argument end, considering that the brutal George will soon be back expecting a dead old man from Jackie.
Fans looking for action, scene changes, or comely girls, will find little or none. It's a cast of two and a set of one. This has got to be one of the cheapest entries of the entire series. Nonetheless, Mantell does a fine job playing what amounts to two roles, but in my book the 30-minutes is more suggestive than suspenseful or memorable.
