So and so film. But not a lot of action..

When the bullet hits the bone.. Hmm? Well, this film is not as exciting as I expected it to be..Basically, it tells the story of a doctor (Jeff Wincott) who witnesses a harassment involving a man and a woman..Somehow he interferes and tries to help the woman (Michelle Johnson) out of it, but then gets shot..Whilst recovering he realizes that the man who shot him is working for a drug dealer Nicholas Turner.Determined to help the woman Lisa, he goes and grabs a briefcase which has names of all the people involved in the drug syndicate. Soon the doctor decides to settle the score against Turner once and for all..In all, this film is watchable but I'm afraid there's not a lot of action to this one. I know Jeff Wincott is one of those martial arts kind of hero. I thought he would show off more kicks and that but in this one, he's just trying to prove his acting ability is more than up to scratch..If you want to see this film, by all means do so, especially on a rainy day..

Questions & Answers

In the early 90's, the action genre really blew up. Nowhere could this be felt more than in the dtv category. A lot of low level stars emerged including Canadian actor Jeff Wincott. After five seasons of appearing on the well received tv cop show 'Night Heat', Jeff would start turning up in karate or shoot 'em up flicks of the low budget variety. 'When The Bullet Hits The Bone' is one of the latter.He plays an emergency room doctor who has grown tired of seeing all the drug related deaths. All the lives he couldn't save. The first three minutes with decent atmosphere spell this out. Helping Lisa (Michelle Johnson) being accosted in an alley gets him two bullets, a trip to the hospital and bad people on his trail who want to make sure he's silenced permanently.It's your usual mix of crooked politicians, guns & drugs for the bad guys. The doc inserting himself to save the lady, her daughter and stop the flow of drugs. The action is alright at times, but the editing needs work and the end shootout is poor. Wincott comes off fine throughout and dials it up during scenes of him being tortured. Miles O'Keefe is sufficient as the head bad guy, but Roy Lewis as his right hand is a step up. He has a habit of asking victims trivia questions before he shoots them.'When The Bullet Hits The Bone' has a great title. A good moment or two, but nothing that elevates it from standing out in a sea of dtv titles of it's type. Taking place in New York, but filmed in Toronto. It won't be the last Jeff Wincott film I watch.
