This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
For reasons that I still can't figure out Kathleen Kinmont was absolutely essential to getting back a stolen microchip that if it fell into the wrong hands could lead to the downfall of the USA. She wants out of the terrorism game, but her real life husband Lorenzo Lamas of the CIA wants to drag her back in.All Kinmont wants to do is raise her daughter, her daughter whose father is John Savage the terrorist who they think has the chip. He doesn't have it, but he sure wants it. Another group beat him to it.For those who like their action films without too much strain on the brain this successor CIA II: Target Alexa is definitely for you. Lorenzo Lamas's fans will see him do his martial arts thing and Kinmont is pretty good herself. The one thing that this film really has going for it is female bodybuilder Lori Fetrick and Kinmont going at it. It's the ultimate in chick fighting.But it ain't enough.
"CIA II: Target Alexa" is a typical low-grade action film with medium-grade fights, stunts and explosions. Which is about what you'd expect when the name Lorenzo Lamas (here as director AND star) is involved. Thankfully, Lamas is kind enough in this case to share the spotlight with two women, Kathleen Kinmont (the heroine) and Lori Fetrick (the villainess), who both have superb bodies: sweaty, muscular and fit. They even have two fights against each other, and even though Fetrick has an obvious strength advantage, Kinmont holds her own pretty well. If any of this sounds like your cup of tea (and it certainly is mine!), then you should check this film out. If not, then there is not much else to see here. (**)
I don't get attached to that many action movies, and this isn't one of them, actually. One off-putting thing about it is a scene where a character gives a sort of "war whoop" while machine-gunning someone - what's weird is that it's one of the GOOD GUYS doing it. But one thing made me watch it. Like "Brad the Lad", I've always been mad about Lori "Ice" Fetrick. And as he says, she's very convincing in that villainous role (that smile of hers works in a role like that as much as any other way, and, needless to say, everything else about her). I just wish she'd gotten to wear the kind of skimpy clothes Kathleen Kinmont did in the previous movie. No offense to Lamas and Kinmont, but 5 stars for the movie, and 10 for her.
I only watched CIA II: Target Alexa due to the presence of Kathleen Kinmont who I fell in love with ever since I first saw her in Fraternity Vacation. Overall the movie is not that good as there were lot of boring dialogue. The movie would have been much better had Kathleen's Fraternity Vacation's co-star Barbara Crampton been in the film with her.
