TARGET is a Z-grade B-movie thriller starring lumbering action man Stephen Baldwin as a supposed top sniper who returns to America after completing a vital mission only to find himself pursued by an East European maniac bent on revenge. To say this film is bad is an understatement; it's only possible to sit through it by laughing at the extreme cheese and ridiculousness of the situation. Baldwin has never been so wooden as is here, while the 'action' consists of him jogging around a park while the bad guy rings him and taunts him occasionally. One for bad film lovers only.

If this film were to be rated on a scale of 1 to 10, one would need to create a new rating system, as this one should not even qualify. The film's plot, (if you can call it that) revolves around Charlie (Stephen Baldwin), an ex- special operatives agent who is being targeted by the brother of a man he killed while he was still working for the US gov't. If this sounds like an interesting scenario, please don't be fooled, as this film will not deliver that which its action-themed story suggests.Comedian Chris Rock once said that when one sees an actor doing a bad film that it makes one want to send the actor $50, given that the actor must be desperate for money to be doing such poor quality work. After watching this film, you may want to send Stephen Baldwin $100. It appears that Baldwin did not put any effort into his role in the film. In the film, Baldwin is forced to run all over the city of Los Angeles in order to protect his "honeycomb" (wife) from being murdered by the brother of a man he previously killed. However, throughout the picture it appears that Baldwin can barely pull off maintaining a light jog. His laid back performance succeeds in subtracting from any suspense that the film might have intended to portray. If you are the type of person who enjoys watching very bad films and laughing at their shortcomings, than this film is for you. However, if you are looking for a well made action thriller, it would be best to look somewhere else rather than renting this film.

The storyline is fresh but the budget was low on this TV thriller. Stephen Baldwin is likable as an American soldier whose wife is kidnapped in Los Angeles. The villains are believable but don't expect a lot of action. James Russo, who we've seen many times before, is always a good character. Patty (Bad Seed)McCormack makes a funny,interesting bar maid. Debra Wilson (MadTV) adds a lot of energy as a CIA computer center operator who helps Baldwin when he's on the run. Tammy Trull is a young Latina face to watch. And Baldwin's kids are really cute.

This is 1 hour and 24 minutes of pure boredom!!In this 'Action'- movie, even the gun Baldwin uses (HK G3A3) sucks. It was sent to recycling by armed forces worldwide in the mid eighties, and is now only used by terrorists, bank robbers and military museums.If I had known this movie was this bad, I would rather watch 10 episodes of MacGyver saving the planet.No groove, no drive and no feel. Watch the Tupperware-channel it's more exiting than this sorry excuse for a movie. This movie doesn't deserve a '0' on the scale. Better luck next time, Baldwin. Until then, I'll sit here watch my toenails grow that is far more exiting than 'Target'
