“Deadly Justice” is a C or D movie thriller that leaves you scurrying to find what redeeming aspects it has with its terrible cast, even worse script, and annoying score, where did the budget go? It was filmed and located in Biloxi. Did the state not contribute anything to it? Did Brett Favre take that money as well?
There are two or three pseudo-Southern accents, all of which come from the locals who were hired as the supporting cast in the story of a judge in prison, who seeks vengeance on his prosecutor and police chief who incarcerated him and are suspected to be involved in the story’s plotline and may be responsible for why he is behind bars.
Corin Nemec, the actor, scripted this horrible narrative about Deep South “justice” and true crime TV series that is hosted by a guy trying to “gotcha” his way into re-opening the blasted case. Why this even existed remains a mystery as it has a plot with blatantly ridiculous twists, offensively stupid responses to crimes, and dumb attempts at humor.
Holly, played by Kelly Sullivan, is a former DA who has just returned from chasing the criminals and has now taken it a notch up and thinking about diving into private practices. She appears to make the biggest blunder of her life by appearing on Dale Jones’ (Brian Krause) ‘Real Crimes’ expose show. So famous is the case of a judge who stalked and killed his wife that a terrible movie was made about it. It starred some reality TV actors as well.
“Real Crime” does not portray very kindly the retired policeman DAD (Marco St. John) and Holly stating that both of them together attempted to degrade that judge. Things do not go as planned for the show, and to top it off the host’s accent makes him look somewhat more creepy, as he invites Holly for a date. Even worse, she gets home after the embarrassing date only to be tased and informed by the note left behind that it is her turn to lose someone.
Disregarding the degree of this insanity, logic goes out of the window along with common sense, Holly who previously worked as DA does not call the authorities after being assaulted. Instead, we are taken through sinister mobile tasers terrorizing Holly’s assistant (Christiana Leucas), her father, and a few others.
Was it the same new guy who hit it off with Holly on the very first meeting? Perhaps over-obsessed Theo, played by screenwriter and Stargate specialist Nemec, may be intertwined. Another option would be that there is some wrenching of the strings from the prison which belongs to this dubious David-influenced judge (Billy Miller).
Things keep getting worse for Holly, and we somehow expect her to finally get the police involved, or Dad to do it for her. Not that it seems helpful. One casting, however, is rather unusual. The script does not emphasize that Krause and Nemec are likely brothers because of their resemblance so much. This is an example of a twist that is rather under-developed. And whether they could, there are two battle-hardened men who are both in their fifties who would pursue a beautiful young and successful lawyer who is single.
Perhaps. But she’s always been in Biloxi until now. Sullivan almost manages to emerge victorious without her dignity in shambles. Her career stretches back to the film version of “The Producers” touring with Sullivan who was in “Roman J. Israel, Esq.” and the TV project “Never Have I Ever”.
That moment in the movie where we see ‘Is anybody believing any of this drivel?’ screamed during the live show ‘Real Crime’? I believe that qualifies as the most concise review ever of the situation being discussed.
