Examination failed, F minus

If someone would make a movie where a crazed killer tracked down and killed the people that made THIS movie, I'd pay to see that. This is about as bad as they come. Interesting that Brett Huff's character came from LA, where the streets are always wet and all the cars have Washington plates? And how does one get re-assigned to Hawaii when you're on the police force? The script is juvenile (take for instance, police captain Hugh Janus, which he pronounces "huge anus"?). The acting is terrible, and way too "cutesy", especially the dialog between the cops. The killings are uninteresting, and I never got to find out who the killer was because at one point my intelligence had been insulted one too many times and I stopped the tape & put it in the "trade in" pile....I should put it in the garbage. Pathetic because obviously they had a decent budget to make this, too bad they squandered it.
