Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Leofwine_draca A short and simple slice of action hokum starring wrestler-turned-actor Roddy Piper (THEY LIVE). MARKED MAN is an entirely predictable slice of B-movie nonsense in which Piper is sent to prison through no fault of his own, only to uncover a sinister conspiracy which leads to his escape. From that point on, he finds himself a marked man, pursued by both the authorities and a murderous gang.This cheap Canadian production doesn't have much to offer even the seasoned veteran of action fare. Piper gives a standard (read: wooden) performance with little of the natural charisma he displayed in THEY LIVE (which I assume must be his finest hour). The supporting cast are undistinguished, aside from a welcome role for former star Miles O'Keeffe (ATOR, THE FIGHTING EAGLE) as the chief villain.The fight scenes occur with a relentless inevitability, but none of them are particularly exciting, although to be fair it's hard to go wrong with a fast-paced storyline like this film has, so it's not too difficult a watch...just not a very satisfying one either.

lavatch Roddy Piper is good in a standard man-on-the-run film. Piper's beleaguered character Frank Gibson has been falsely accused of murdering a prison inmate, makes a daring escape from prison, then solves the crime on his own.The film provides non-stop action and a set of unscrupulous characters, as well as an incompetent police force. There is one fairly knowledgeable FBI official, who finally begins to uncover the truth, due to the efforts of Frank to provide her with clues.Apart from Frank and his brother, the characters are painted in melodramatic colors. The prison guards are corrupt. The police are inept. The widow of the deceased convict is a schemer. Everything is left in the hands of poor Frank Gibson to prove his innocence. Despite the clichés of a Grade B film, "Marked Man" serves its purpose as suspenseful and entertaining trifle.

nesluver2 This movie's straight to video characteristics certainly show. But it stands above a lot of those movies. The fight scenes were rather impressive, even if they were obnoxiously long. Good Martial Arts and Street Fighting. The plot was indeed overused, but hey, the makers were obviously amateurs. So basically an auto mechanic (Roddy Piper) watches his wife get ran over by a drunk driver, gets upset, and knocks the guy in his face. He falls back and cracks his head, sending Roddy to prison for 2nd degree murder. There, he is set up for the murder of one of his inmates. It's all linked to the big bad mobs of Albany... LOL I happen to live near Albany and got a kick out of this movie. Albany's worst crime is being dinky. In some parts, you may believe it was Albany, but for some reason they staged a lot of it, probably because where they filmed wouldn't stand up as a major city so they used to next best thing, a state capital. The movie refers to West Albany as rich...all it really is is the western extension of this crappy city. :) So yeah...those of you who live in NY near the Capital Region, take a look at this movie just for the location laughs (they didn't even know Albany's zip code). For the rest of you, don't go too far out of your way to see this, though the fights are pretty cool.

cine-11 SPOILER ALERT Roddy Piper's fiancee killed by drunk driver, whom he then accidentally kills. Goes to prison, where he's framed for the murder of an inmate by corrupt guards. Escapes and proves his innocence not by brains and logic, but by an exceedingly lucky and typically Hollywood happenstance. There- I've saved you the bother of seeing this, because, I swear, that synopsis is the entire plot. Thank goodness I saw this on tape, where I was able to speed through the loooong chase scenes and multiple fight scenes that were indistinguishable from each other.
