Watch Cold Sweat For Free

good back-story, and good acting

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Family man Mark Cahill (Ben Cross) has a secret life as an assassin for hire. He is haunted by his last victim. Beth Moore (Shannon Tweed) is cheating on her jealous cold husband Larry (Dave Thomas) with Mitch (Adam Baldwin) and Larry's business associate Sean Mathieson (Henry Czerny).This is an erotic thriller. The erotic part is basic sexploitation. There is a fun little guessing game as to who will hire the killer to kill who but the movie has nothing after that. Ben Cross is a pretty good cool assassin. I don't like any of these characters. There is no rooting interest whatsoever. I couldn't care less if they all died in a blaze of bullets. At least, that would be more fun. The story gets convoluted. I don't understand their individual actions. As a thriller, I'm not thrilled.

***SPOILERS*** Stylish & sexy direct to video film noir with the sizzling Shannon Tweed as the back stabbing femme fatal Beth Moore who's having a affair behind her husband Larry's, Dave Thomas, back with his partner in his real estate firm Sean Mathieson, Henry Czenry, who's secretly trying to take over his firm as well as wife from right under him. It's Mathieson who hires this mob hit-man Mark Cahill, Ben Cross, to ice David but as we soon see Cahill has serious problems of his own. That after knocking off both David Cook and his secretary Catherine Wicker, John Robinson & Lenore Zann, for making out after hours in the office that Catherine's ghost came back to haunt him for the remainder of the movie.The reappearance of Catherine unnerved Cahill so much that he lost his concentration in doing his job on Larry and ended up almost getting himself killed as well. As it soon turned out it's was Beth who not only was double crossing her husband Larry she was also screwing, literally as well as figuratively, her partner in crime Sean Mathieson as well! That by having the dude who contacted Cahill to do the job on Larry "Big" Mitch, Adam Baldwin, set the two of them, Larry & Mathieson, up for the film's surprising and grand finale!***SPOILERS*** Actress Shannon Tweed was as hot as a pistol in her scenes both dressed and undressed that really made the movie worth watching. It was also Catherine Wicker's ghost that gave the movie a supernatural spin to it that had Cahill, the only person who could see her, have fits of paranoid as well as self doubts in thinking he messed up the hit he did on her. It was in the end that everything gelled together when we as well as Mathieson finally realized what was going on and what Beth's real plans were. And it wasn't hit-man Cahill but the happy go lucky Mitch who ended up finalizing them.

Mark Cahill as a cunning hit-man who decides to take another mark against his better judgment as his former kill has been haunting him at the most in opportune times. However the money's right so perhaps he can do this last job before his newfound conscience gets the better of him or his wife finds out thus ruining his pretty good family life. But anyways, I digress, this crime drama film had enough twists, turns and titillation to earn a thumbs up from me. One of the very few serious roles Dave Thomas embodied and still he manages to be oddly funny. I find it a bit weird that a Shannon Tweed film this good has only had 3 IMDb reviews (4 counting mine) However I won't dwell on it.

THIS IS A SEXY FILM WITH A CAST OF UNSCRUPULOUS CHARACTERS. IT DEPICTS CORRUPTION, DECEIT, AND REMORSE. YOU KNOW THE CHARACTERS ARE CRUEL WHEN THE ONE WITH THE MOST SINCERITY IS THE "HITMAN". BEN CROSS NAILS HIS ROLE AS A HITMAN, LADEN WITH GUILT OVER A HIT GONE WRONG, THROWN INTO ANOTHER HIT INVOLVING A CORRUPT BUSINESSMAN, HIS EQUALLY NASTY PARTNER AND THE WIFE WHO IS INVOLVED WITH BOTH MEN. CROSS'S PERFORMANCE SHOWS RANGE AS THE COOL CALM OF A HIRED, PROFESSIONAL KILLER, THE ORDINARY FAMILY MAN WITH ORDINARY MARITAL PROBLEMS, AND GUILT RIDDEN MURDERER AS HE DEALS WITH THE REALIZATION THAT PEOPLE ARE NASTY, AND SOMETIMES THE INNOCENT GET HURT.
