VHS Movie Reviews of Balance of Power [VHS]

Movie Review: Decent martial arts film.
Summary: 3 Stars

Lets get onto the pros. The film has some good fighting scenes with blanks and others. He has some good moves. It touches upon gang violence,drugs and the effects it has on young kids. I love seeing a brother play a positive role model in films and really like that blanks does this. The acting isn't as bad as some here have said and I felt the actors did a good enough job.

Now the cons The acting while not being as bad as some say it's not any thing to write home about. It would have been nice if they had spent some more time on the negative influences of gangs and drugs on the kids. The storyline was kind of stupid in parts also. Not that fighting films have great story lines,but beating the main bad guys fighter and making him loose face and some money makes no sense. This guy is selling tons of drugs and could make any money back up. They also spent some time on silly test and trials like blanks enduring high levels of heat which could have been spent on more fight scenes. Also the fights could have lasted a bit longer as they are a bit short in my opinion. Also the film weakens itself by having to have a happy ending erasing the driving force and emotion that pushed blanks character to fight in the tournament.

I'm a big fan of billy blanks and love his workout tapes. Didn't know he had made any martial arts films so theses are kind if cool for me. This one is a average fighting films that could have been better with some script work and better direction. I had a decent time watching it and have seen worse films than this. No where near as bad as some people here have said,but it doesn't deserve any more than 2-3 stars. [...]
