Full Eclipse (1993)

 As a teenager who started becoming a film buff. I grew up watching a lot of horror and action films. When it comes to action films, I find that the direct to video stuff is more cheesy, fun and get away with a lot more then a Hollywood action flick. That isn't to say I don't like the action flicks Hollywood churns out weekly. There is a difference between the two that I've noticed. An action flick from Hollywood has studio interference, messaging to pander it's audience which hinders the enjoyment, and actors who excel in those roles even though half of them can't act their way out of a paper bag. A direct to video action flick is different. There's less studio interference, not a lot of messaging to pander to it's audience, and the most important thing is it's fun. Full Eclipse is a movie where it's script is cheesy on paper, but absurd on screen. The idea of werewolf cops sounds far fetched when you think of about it. In the 90's, the plot of an action film has been numerous times, carbon copy. But in Full Eclipse, it tries to be different, but it's more of the same but only with werewolves. When I think of werewolves, I think of An American Werewolf in London, on it's feet, attacking. The werewolf cops in Full Eclipse look like mutants that survived a cave-in. It's very very cheesy but damn it, I had fun with this movie. Acting is mediocre as expected. Pacing is okay, a little slow in some sections and as far as special effects, they're laughable. It was the main reason why I checked this film out.

Full Eclipse at the end of the day is a decent flick that's not original but full of enough cheese to make you enjoy it.
