Plot
Nashville hunk Billy Ray Cyrus turns action hero in this high-impact adventure. Jack Reynolds (Cyrus) is a drifter with a motorcycle, lots of tattoos, and a good right hook who gets a job tending bar in a small Southern town. A powerful and ruthless illegal arms dealer has much of the town in a stranglehold, and when Jack draws the attentions of Kate (DeDee Pfeiffer), the woman the dealer loves, Jack finds himself doing battle with the dealer's henchmen. But what no one in town knows is that Jack is a former CIA operative whose wife and children were killed years ago while he was trying to put the dealer behind bars -- and Jack is not the sort of man who is willing to forgive and forget. Radical Jack also stars George "Buck" Flower, Cassie Branham, and Noah Blake. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
Review
Good old Billy Ray Cyrus hasn't starred in too many movies, but thankfully, the world will always have Radical Jack! Like a poor man's Road House, Billy Ray slugs it out with hordes of redneck thugs and dishes out the lovin' to the town's number one bad girl. Of course, his mullet is sublime in each shot, as is his slow, Southern drawl. For the supporting cast, you have none other than George "Buck" Flower, here showing his range outside of John Carpenter films as he chews up scenery left and right. While the flick is straight ahead B-movie trouble, the funny thing is that you can't help but root for Jack as he takes down the town baddies and drives off into the sunset in his Jeep. It's all pretty predictable, but there's enough gratuitous brawling and dreadful acting that you won't be able to walk away from Radical Jack even if you wanted to. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
