Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Excellent adaptation.
Ava-Grace Willis
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

If you are a fan of Michael Madsen or Ron Perlman, and can tolerate Kristy Swanson, then "Supreme Sanction" is worth a look. Personally I like David Dukes as a bad guy, as in "Snow Kill", but here he is nothing more than a rather bland journalist. This is a small, low budget movie, that would fall through the cracks were it not for some unexpected humorous dialog. Think Kristy Swanson as a female James Bond- type trying to carry a totally unrealistic script. One redeeming factor is the almost total absence of car chases. There are however, plenty of "F bombs" dropped by the entire cast. Marginally recommended. - MERK

I found this film quite enjoyable. You might like this if you like Alias (2001) or The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), although I found the latter a little better because Samantha Caine/Charly Baltimore is a more complex character.Mild spoilers ahead. I liked the ruthlessness and efficiency of Jenna in disposing of her former colleagues and would-be-killers; since she is doing this with guns, this is not as unbelievable as Sidney Bristow beating up men twice as big as her. Also, Kristy Swanson looks great as always.Unlike other films of this kind, the agonizing by the protagonist over her past evil deeds is refreshingly short. Also, I found the plot pretty believable (by Hollywood standards). In the beginning, I wondered a little about the quick side-switching of Jenna, but as the film proceeds, we see that this was not on-the-spot, but she actually has been thinking about and working for this for some time. The plot then proceeds pretty straightforwardly, and I have not noticed any unbelievable (and few other) twists.Detailed spoilers of irrelevant stuff ahead: There are two scenes that could have used better editing (or better something): First, near McNamara's house, Jenna sends McNamara ahead for no obvious reason, then does some other things for no obvious reason, before following him (without any significant change in the situation). Second, near the end of the film, Jenna has a firefight with Dalton, runs out of clips, and gets a clip from some dead body; this goes on for much too long.

I saw this film in the TV guide and decided to give it a go, since it had Kristy Swanson. Anyway seeing her as an government assassin was new. The opening credits were encouraging, but then my expectations went down the drain as soon as the shooting started. Swanson does not look in anyway like a hitwoman, the 'action' scenes are laughable. The reporter she is supposed to be protecting look s bored most of the time. Michael Madsen is such a over-rated actor, it occurred to me that he plays the exact same character in every movie. The attempts at humour are so bad that they're funny, the best lines go to Swanson's sidekick. Ron Pearlman is wasted as the big boss, and dies cheaply. In one scene the reporter has been interrogated (Tortured) by Madsen's people, but when we see him afterwards he doesn't have a mark on him!!!

When Kristy Swanson gets an attack of the guilts about what she does, she wants out. Unfortunately, Madsen is her immediate superior in a company where "giving two weeks notice ain't an option."As a teen killing vampires, Kristy did a very good job. The valley girl image seemed to fit. But as an assassin on the run...well, keep running Kristy. Run, run far away! This film is not a concept that hasn't been done before, but it HAS been done better!I didn't want to watch the rest of this film, but I felt I should if I wanted to give a review of this movie. I've always liked Madsen, and his character was a bit predictable, but this movie was definitely a waste of time both to watch and make...no wonder it never got released theatrically!
