"Partners" is one of those extremely cheap "video films" you either see for sale in the "five dollar" bin at the electronics store or bundled with another DVD and on sale in the supermarket checkout line. Film breaks the rules of regular cinematography (eye-lines are off, extreme closeups to hide things, weird blocking, etc.), the image quality comes and goes (like they switched cameras multiple times), it has bizarre audio mixing errors in certain scenes, and a plot that ends and starts up again because the original run-time was too short. Plot is utterly confusing and full of double crosses and dual loyalties, and one of the characters that is arrested is only introduced at the moment of arrest!
Watch it only if you like confounding cinema in the tradition of "Monster a-Go-Go", "Things", "Suburban Sasquatch", and the Coleman Francis trilogy ("Beast of Yucca Flats", "The Skydivers", "Red Zone Cuba").
