i didn't mind it(i know, i must have a screw loose somewhere)

I'm pretty sure this is a straight to video movie.maybe i'm coming down with something,but i actually found it entertaining.it's not at all original and you can predict every single plot twist right off the bat.Erica Eleniak(Under Siege)plays Federal agent Kate Parker who is tasked with extraditing a fugitive named Claire Scott(Brigitta Dau,"The Inheritance","When the Cradle falls",both TV movies) wanted in connection with a murder.you already know the rest,or you should,unless this is the first and only movie you've ever watched.just in case,here is the rest of the plot.complications ensue,people get killed,all ends well.like i said,i liked it--well maybe not liked,but it was entertaining,for some strange reason.i mean,it shouldn't be.the acting is okay,i thought.Erica Eleniak,oddly enough has (dare i say it)some screen presence and her character is certainly no bimbo.i actually like the interaction between the middle aged,very much in love, husband and wife assassin team,Mr and Mrs. Jones,played by Stacy Keach and Erin Grey.i though they were quite amusing and i don't mean unintentionally.there is some really cringe worthy dialogue,i admit and you can tell it's B movie,obviously.All in all though,it passed the time and i didn't have to pay for it.based on it's entertainment value,i give "Caught in the Headlights" a solid 6/10
