Instinct to Kill (2001)
Escaped serial killer James Becket, who killed his own father whose expectations he never fulfilled, but now especially targets his wife Theresa 'Tess' and her family, is too good at disguising himself and other deceit for detective Diffs task force. Only one man proves able to fight back in his league: former cop J.T. Dillon, who was already training Tess in self-defense and becomes her lover. Becket decides to find hiding place by kidnapping Diffs wife, and thus enforce a final show-down.

To me, this movie is perfection.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This comment might be a spoiler for this dumb movie, but even I don't have the answer so I'm not really spoiling the movie then am I? The one person who was trying to save BOTH THEIR DUMB ASSES (the chick and the supposed teacher), we never get an update. If Kadeem had to die, so be it, but at least we should have gotten the chance to know. Then the end of the movie, the girl and the guy walk off happy and laughing and joking like no one else played the part of trying to kill her stupid ex-husband so she could be safe. Are you kidding me??? Are you freakin' kidding me??? "I'm gonna teach you how to relax!" Seriously!!!!! Suck it producer and director!! Kadeem, I liked your character very much in this movie, despite the dumb people you had to work with.
Instinct to Kill 2001If you are just looking for an action flick with a few good fight scenes, some pretty ladies and a basic plot this movie is for you. The fight scenes are realistic for the most part. The action keeps the movie going more than the semi-plausible plot. The weakest part of the movie is how foolish and inept the cops are portrayed. Most notably, the detective in charge of the task force, Lance. The bad guy is out to kill his wife and her mother and her best friend, but for some reason revenge on his ex-partner that busted him isn't part of the plan. That seems kind of inconsistent to me. Secondly, there is one scene where Missy's character and the good guy go after the serial killer husband on their own, without the police or any back up. I got the impression that scene was just to fill in time for the movie and have another action sequence. There is another scene that is totally implausible but I don't want to include any spoilers in this. You will see it if you watch the movie. Missy Crider is her normal good actress self but she doesn't show any skin in this one. The only nude scene is a brief sexual encounter with Missy's husband (the character in the movie that is) and her best friend. As a movie for simple escapism and fun I would recommend this movie to those who enjoy the genre. My rating, given the generally low caliber of cast: 7 out of 10.
This movie is the PREDICTABLE Hollywood CRAP where the BAD GUY gets away with murder SO MANY times due to the inability of the GOOD GUYS to fire their weapon with even BASIC MARKSMANSHIP SKILLS!!!This movie was SO frustrating that I "fast forwarded" through the BS after the first FIVE times the BAD GUY "successfully" dodged a hail of pistol fire being fired at him FROM JUST ACROSS THE ROOM!The ONLY redeeming scene was where the BAD GUYS WIFE NAIL him with ONE SHOT in the end!I would have LOVED to have the Director in my living room so I could "Bitch slap" this idiot every time he wasted my time with "unrealistic" scenes!
A woman hires an ex-mercenary to train her in the art of deadly combat and defense in order to protect herself from her serialkiller husband.Tess Beckett i splaying a great role in this nice action, thriller movie. Worth watching!!!!
