646f9e108c Jeff is an FBI agent sent to pick up Ray Manta, a member of the White Hand drug cartel, from a Mexican jail. Manta escapes, and gets revenge by killing Jeff's family. Kowalski, another member of the White Hand, is sympathetic to Jeffhe hunts down the other members of the Hand one by one, getting vengeance for his family, eventually leading to a battle with Manta. After surviving a sneak attack on himself and fellow agents Jimmy and Genethey were transporting drug kingpin Raymond Manta out of a Mexican jail, FBI agent Jeff Douglas becomes an uwitting pawn of the White Hand drug cartel. Mistakenly told that his already murdered family is being held hostage, Jeff is forced to turn one-time courier for the White Hand, whose leaders are Manta and four others named Helmut Vitch, Milt Kowalski, Russ LaFleur, and Hansel Lee. After surviving a car-bombing in Las Vegas, Jeff learns the truth about his family being murdered, and he sets out to exterminate the White Hand cartel. Unofficially aided by an agent named Megan, whose mother was raped and murdered years ago, Jeff steals FBI files and begins his campaign of revenge on the White Hand cartel. This is a cheap take off of Die Hard, but it's memorable once you get past the build up romantic part which is a rip off of Robocop, where the cop is having flashbacks to his wife and kids. I watched it with my wife and she was thoroughly entertained so the romantic parts were good in terms of making it more of a date flick for guys to watch. I was watching it for massive carnage and was instantly amused that Patrick's rifle bullets were all explosive grenade types. Which, outside of a shotgun sized shell, I don't know of explosive bullets in the normal rifle size. This trick was done in Robocop with the bad guys in the end getting the "latest military hardware" in the future so it was easy to suspend belief with that but this is set in 1994 not 2044, so if you are looking for realism skip this one. I knew it would be a cheesy film so was OK with it. Oh, and all the bad guys when they use rifles their bullets don't explode either. Keep an eye on Patrick around the third boss attack, a henchman will be using a rifle and the bullets will be normal, after getting whacked, Patrick picks up the dead henchman's rifle and magically the rifle turned into a grenade launcherthe bullets were exploding! I therefore rationalized that Patrick had magical powers and fired magic bullets! Fun film, loved the carnage, and cheesiness! 7 of 10. BTW, Patrick's magical powers only work on rifles not pistols, lol enjoy. If you're looking for an action movie then look no further, with high-adrenaline action scenes from start to finish, Zero Tolerance is the ultimate action flick. Robert Patrick has the starring roleFBI agent Jeff Douglas and yet again he shines. I am always amazed by the emotion he is able to put through in any character he plays and Jeff is no different, you really feel for him and what he's going through. Watching Robert in this film is actually almost like watching a young John Doggett (his character in The X-Files), some familar mannerisms can be spotted,wellhis trademark intensity. The supporting cast is also good, particularly Kristen MeadowsMegan, and also keep an eye out for Barbara Patrick (Robert's real-life wife) playing his wife Wendy in the film. I must admit that I originally hired this film purely because it starred Robert, who is my favorite actor, but I enjoyed it so much that I had to purchase my own copy. If you're a fan of Robert or just action movies in general, I highly recommend checking this one out.
