Surprisingly incoherent and boring
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
From getting to watch the Sharon stone film library and being a fan after watching basic instinct and total recall, this was just more embarrassingly horrible in a way where you about to see if Arnold was Captain America (it's true). the main character hero, his acting was so bad that's the reason there was 4 writers on this, can't you get James R. Silke to do it, he did it really good with the ninja movies, anyway I'm getting off topic on this film. Sharon was okay, but only one flaws bothers me when her accent gets off when she says "You're a liar". No offense. I can say this, this is rather a cold flop when your husband is about to get insane, trying to get a idea after he's watching this film, trying to shove a lot of DVDs of Godzilla (1998) up your "C**t. Rating: 1/10 (Godawful film). Jeez. Note: Columbia Pictures associated with RCA Video had the rights to release it home video on VHS and then Sony Pictures released it on DVD and then as of today, it would never seemed to have the guts of towards getting a blu ray release made, Why the hell would Sony still own it as of today. It should been in public domain territory.
After his father is slashed to death on Christmas Eve, handsome Los Angeles policeman Brad Davis (as Johnny Modine) embarks on the inevitable. While pursuing meth-addicted Jonathan Banks (as Isaac), Mr. Davis gets sexy Sharon Stone (as Kathy Connors) to show a little skin. The hero is supported by buddy Jay Acovone (as Cookie) and former glam / new wave rocker Adam Ant (as Mick) helps the villain. A flashback reveals some violent silliness triggered the plot. We get a good chase scene, with plenty of crashing. "The Godfather" writer's rarely seen daughter Dorothy Ann Puzo directed.***** Cold Steel (12/11/87) Dorothy Ann Puzo ~ Brad Davis, Sharon Stone, Jonathan Banks, Adam Ant
Cold Steel is one of the most atrocious crime films I've ever seen. It's little more than a tv movie of the week with foul language, and it's badly written to boot. Sharon Stone ends Cold Steel with the immortal line, "I hate sushi". Perhaps 'screenwriter' Moe Quigley is one of Joe Eszterhas' biggest influences.Avoid at all costs.
This is the worst movie I've ever seen. It's so bad I found myself wondering if it was in fact a comedy instead of an action movie. Terrible acting.
