VHS Movie Reviews of Impulse (1990)
Movie Review: INTRIGUING STORY
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE, THAT I ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE. VERY INTRIGUING MOVIE. THERESA RUSSELL WAS SEXY AND AMAZING, AND JEFF FAHEY WAS HANDSOME AND KIND.Movie Review: "I didn't know what I was doing there..."
Summary: 5 Stars
The alluring Theresa Russell has made a healthy film career out of playing prostitutes (one of her films was actually titled WHORE). In IMPULSE, also starring Jeff Fahey, Russell plays Lottie, an undercover cop who most often poses as---you guessed it---a prostitute.
Russell is hot onscreen, so hot the screen melts, even when she plays it straight. As an actress, she has a lock on the confused inner motivations of good girls gone bad or bad girls trying to be good, and it's hard to take your eyes off of her, not at least partially because she's engaging and imbues her emotionally conflicted characters with both depth and pathos.
Lottie poses as the hook in a major drug bust being managed by FBI agent Fahey who promptly falls into bed and in love with her. Lottie reacts typically---although she disdains this "nice guy," she yearns toward him as well.
Lottie's career is on the skids. In counseling and under Internal Affairs scrutiny, after a particularly brutal shootout, she impulsively goes over the line while having a drink in some bar and accompanies a stranger home for money. She reconsiders before her shoes get kicked under the bed, but while she makes her exit, this boyfriend d'jour is the victim of a hit. The circumstances of course compromise Lottie, who finds she can't tell the straight-shooting Fahey the full truth. Enter George Dzundza (Lieutenant Morgan) the embittered cop with a grudge against Lottie, who delights in sabotaging the Fahey-Russell relationship.
The chemistry between Fahey and Russell is palpable and the acting is excellent despite the overall "B" movie atmosphere. Russell's characterization is surprisingly strong, and the story doesn't let go until the credits roll.
Far better than you'd expect, IMPULSE delivers, and comes well recommended.
Movie Review: Involving drama
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't seen this one for awhile, but it should be released on DVD, in my opinion. I have always enjoyed the performances of Jeff Fahey and Theresa Russell, separately, in their own respective careers, but in "Impulse" they are dynamite together. They have palpable chemistry that makes the film work. Their sex scene when they first get together was very hot, and very real. Good plot, good directing by Sondra Locke, good acting by Fahey, Russell, and a capable supporting cast. Good cop drama, that needs to be released on DVD!Movie Review: I've seen this movie, and it's a hit!
