Marked Man (1996)

You may laugh but I've found something entertaining in each of the Roddy Piper films I’d seen prior to MM, but it was inevitable that the law of averages would catch up eventually and lay down the pain.
Most of the acting is bad, especially the women. The camerawork is shoddy at best. And the story, about a tough mechanic who has one seriously bad night and ends up a fugitive, having bolted from a prison that was easier to escape from than a phone booth, gives Roddy very little to do other than run, hide, creep and fight. It’s easy pay for the Piper.
