FIRST ACTION HERO - ignore that ridiculous re-titling, this has nothing to do with the Schwarzenegger movie - is a last-gasp Italian crime film, shot in Florida in the 1990s. It stars Fabio Testi amid a troop of ageing Italian stars in a story about a renegade cop hunting for some gangsters. Amid the poor video quality and usual stilted dubbing, FIRST ACTION HERO is a film that feels remarkably uninspired. The actors are on autopilot and the scriptwriter seems to have taken the day off. There's a little action here, but when I say little I mean very little, and for an action movie that simply serves to make the whole thing a bore.
