Wrong Turn At Tahoe Movie Review

Cuba Gooding Jr. after spate of flops on the big screen decided to do direct to dvd movies which are normally less expensive to make and the returns were decent enough to keep the ball rolling and he had been quite successful in that market. The biggest hindrance that came in the way for Cuba Gooding Jr. was that he needed to be better than his previous movie which somehow did not happen and what we were treated was in the end nothing more than mediocre stuff.

Wrong Turn At Tahoe is one such mediocre movie from Cuba Gooding Jr.'s career point of view. The story is the same that has been repeated number of times and normally actions speak louder than words which unfortunately is redundant in this action flick. However the surprise element in this movie is actor Miguel Ferrer who in the character of Vincent is a treat to watch. Its high time Gooding Jr. takes note of his fellow actors and improve his standards accordingly.

The story is very simple and predictable. Vincent who is a mafia don kills a small time drug dealer Frankie Tahoe (Noel Gugliemi) who incidentally happens to be the right hand of the biggest don Nino (Harvey Keitel). Nino spurned by the killing takes revenge on Vincent by eliminating his lady love Tiff (Genevieve Alexandra).

The movie ends with Vincent retaliating his loss by killing Nino and his men. The screenplay looks dull complimented by the mediocre acting. Director Frank Khalfoun looks like he had embarked on a journey in which he was not too convinced about. Except for the brilliance of Miguel Ferrer there is absolutely nothing in this action thriller.

"Wrong Turn At Tahoe" a misfit in the action genre.
