Wrong kind of ripoff

High Voltage which has enough action and fight scenes to satisfy anyone who
isn't really concerned about a story. There are certain plot similarities to Don
Siegel's classic caper film Charley Varrick which starred Walter Matthau. A light
years better bit of cinema.

Antonio Sabato, Jr.'s crew decides to rob a bank and they discover the place is
a laundering establishment for the Vietnamese mob headed by George Cheung. At first they try to make some amends, but Cheung ain't having it
so the inevitable violent climax occurs.

Just run this one back to back with Charley Varrick and you'll know what a
good story and good plot do for a film. High Voltage is for violence junkies.

score 3/10
