Very good movie!, 25 April 2004
10/10
Author: Movie Nuttball from U.S.A.

I thought Relentless is a good film! It has some faces in it such as Robert Loggia, Judd Nelson, Leo Rossi, Meg Foster, Ken Lerner, Edward Bunker, and George 'Buck' Flower! The actors in the film are good especially Loggia and Nelson! Nelson makes a good killer in the film! You never know what this guy it up to! I also like how the movie really focused on him! It allowed decent development on this character and by it doing that it made it really interesting! Leo Rossi played the good guy well. The music especially the main title is very good by underrated composer Jay Chattaway! The action in the film is good and the killings are played out well. There are three sequels to this film. If you like the cast mentioned above and like to see a cool 80s killer movie then watch Relentless!
