'Dusting Cliff 7' aka 'Last Assassins' is one more flick in my bid to catch up on Lance Henriksen titles. Amazingly there's four writers credited with this story & it's only 86 mins long. I get the feeling like I'm in for a rough ride. One of those Lance paycheck movies of suspect quality.
The plot is straightforward. Anna Bishop (Nancy Allen) a former CIA assassin can't bring herself to kill her latest target. She does however steal his classified files per orders that indicate where in the desert government nuclear weapons are buried. McBride (Henriksen) the ringleader of this rogue outfit wanting the nukes in turn takes her daughter hostage as a guarantee he gets what he wants.
There's a bunch of dialog between the two leads establishing how she was picked up off the street and taken under McBride's wing as a kid to become a killer. An everyday pilot to become the mother's ally. Sparse & poor action. A fondness for elevator shaft moments. Lance sports a mustache.
'Dusting Cliff 7' was a slow, painful crawl to the end. So boring I couldn't wait for it to be over it. There is nothing redeeming here at all. Not even for fans of Allen or Henriksen.
