Strip N' Run (1998)


Strip N' Run (1998) -*

Directed By: L.P. Brown III and John Sjogren

Starring: Michael Madsen, Charles Napier, Brion James, Martin Kove, Stoney Jackson, Robert Z'Dar and Todd Bridges










The barrage of Madsen direct-to-video junk continues!

In The Late 90's and early 2000's, Michael Madsen fell into a downward spiral of Direct To Video features Such as Choke (2001), Sacrifice (2000), Luck Of The Draw (2000), The Ghost (2001), Voodoo Dawn (1998), Primal Instinct (2002) and The Sender (1998).

Chalk up another mediocre Madsen flick. Madsen plays a gangster named Jimmie D who is the voice of reason for the other characters. To get straight to the point: The movie looks cheap, and the editing is jumpy. Madsen doesn't really do anything at all. He looks sleepy. The funniest part of the movie is the appearance of Todd Bridges as a hoodlum. He shoots people and goes way over the top. His death scene is pretty hokey. He just covers his chest after a poorly mixed gunshot noise.


In conclusion: The movie has the sleazy moments you want (stripper nudity) and that's it.
