In the Line of Duty: The Price of Vengeance (1994) watch online HD

THE PRICE OF VENGEANCE is another IN THE LINE OF DUTY TV movie, following on from an unconnected series loosely based on true cases. This one sees a regular cop (played by Michael Gross, of TREMORS fame, who has subsequently carved himself a niche in TV fare) gunned down by an urban street gang, and the police subsequently trying to convict those responsible. This one goes through the motions in a safe, non-controversial way despite the violence of the story. The reliable Dean Stockwell leads the way and watch out for THE 'BURBS star Courtney Gains in a small role.

The Price of Vengenance is another Politically Correct Hollywood film that blames crime on guns, and not criminals. Some facts this movie ignores: 1) It is illegal for a felon to even touch a gun, let alone shoot one. 2) Fully automatic weapons have been banned since the Gun Control Act of 1934 (in response to a few high profile cases, like Bonnie and Clyde, not widespread abuse) 3) Silencers have never been legal. 4) Guns don't pull their own triggers. The movie is an irrational, yet highly emotional, plea to disarm and leave defenseless the law abiding. Of course, rich Hollywood producers are well protected by private security, and have no need of guns. The Price of Vengenace is an ignorant, despicable movie.

I loved, loved, loved, loved this movie.

I think that the way Michael Gross played his role was utterly magnificent.

I do believe that Michael Gross is quite possibly the premier thespian in film today. Mr Gross, Alan Thicke, and Fred Williamson are my version of the terrific threesome. This duo plus one would kick the butt of any other three actors out there. Unless the other group had Bruce Lee. But that wouldn't be fair, because he knows Kung Fu. Although I don't see this being a problem what with Bruce Lee being dead and all. If these three were ever in a movie together. Gee Wiz! That would be the best movie ever in the history of movies. I'd watch it 10 Million times. 10 Billion times maybe.

Anyway, this movie has it all. Guns, Guns, and more Guns, and Michael Gross.

And Michael Gross with Guns!!!

Also gangs. I love gangs. I'll tell you what... After this movie, there won't be a gang this side of the Mississippi that will mess with Mr Keaton. And not Alex P mind you. I'm talkin bout his dad.

In the Line of Duty.

It's your Duty to stand in Line to see this Movie.

This picture offers little reward after compelling us to witness a tragedy of draconian proportions. A dedicated prosecutor, hot on the trail of an organized crime gang, is assassinated with his small son as witness. After the movie has ended, you don't feel as though you've learned anything, you just feel dirty and the images of the mindless shooting play out in your head forever. While the message is the old "Crime Does Not Pay" bit, the crime is easily the centerpiece of this disturbing and violent yarn. Want a good time? Watch "Ghostbusters." Save yourself the misery, and memory, of this demeaning and senseless film.
