"DECOY" is simply a nice 'n' easy watching experience, a fine late-night type flick & if you enjoy B-movie stuff & liked the video days than this fun little flick is perfect for you.
I grew up on these types of films so i probably like them & give them higher ratings than most do but hey i like what i like.
Decoy is the type of film that used to cover the shelves at Blockbuster video & i love that about it because i lived those great times, the 90's.
Decoy stars two great B-movie actors with Peter Weller (Robocop 1&2, Screamers) & Robert Patrick (The Faculty, Zero Tolerance, Last Gasp, From Dusk Till Dawn 2:Texas Blood Money, Terminator 2) who play Baxter (Weller) & Travis (Patrick) that are two tough & troubled Mercenaries who are hired to protect a millionaire's daughter after he is threatened by bad guys. That's the simplicity of the plot, it's a film that is low-budget & created for action fans & it works. Robert Patrick is one of my all-time favorite actors (loved him since Die Hard 2 & T2) & he makes a great athletic action hero here as troubled Travis. The start of this little flick was like Lethal Weapon (with the hung up torture stuff) & the Travis character is similar to Riggs from Lethal Weapon & Patrick does a great job of being crazy & very physical with the action stuff & there's plenty of wild, bullet flying action. Travis has a best friend & probably the only person he trusts in all the world, Baxter & it's another good performance from Peter Weller. Weller is just as dangerous as Travis but he's more centered like a trained Samurai or warrior master & is into all that ancient calming stuff & even has an awesome sword. Decoy is a buddy movie that is mixed into an all out action flick that's full of cool stuff (like villains hunting them through forests with cool looking Action figure type outfits & weapons) & some fun dialogue along the way. The direction is fine for what it is & the main thing is it's entertaining as an action B-movie & has lots of bloody violence, shootouts & fights to keep it going. Nothing spectacular but damn good for what it is & both leads make a good team.
