Unforgettable

Initially I had mixed thoughts on how to vote. But I have deemed the film unforgettable so I had to go with a 10. I really won't forget some of the scenes ever. Performances by Robert Miano, Sheila Cutchlow and Clayton Myers were superb. Robert's Miano's character, Slavatore, is naturally ruthless. Sheila Cutchlow, playing the role of Samantha, is exceptionally polished exhibiting much strength and beauty. She really looked stunning on screen as well. I was mesmerized by her features and seemingly effortless work. I especially enjoyed Myers' character, Teaberry. I will never forget the scene where Johnny Alonso, playing Cooper O'Neil, approaches him for a favor on Teaberry's houseboat. You have to see this movie for that scene alone! Though it is an action movie, it did not lack humor. That scene was HILARIOUS! And who other than Frank Lama could play a better FBI agent? The film is a twisted in my mind as entertaining, interesting and serious yet comedic. Loved the locations. Nice cast!
