I go back to 1988 to mention the first time I saw Corin Nemec on screen, in the Francis Ford Coppola film Tucker: The Man and His Dream. Its a really good film even though the subject (cars) is something I knew nothing about at the time, and to be honest I don’t really know too much about cars now, but I know a good film when i see one and a good actor when I see one on screen. Fast Forward a couple of years and Corin Nemec popped up on my screens again in one of the best 2 part mini series that I have seen, the true story I Know My First Name is Steven. In this mini series Corin played Steven (also known as Dennis) who had been kidnapped years before…and to go into this story more would ruin one of the most heartwrenching viewings Ive had for years. If you havent seen I Know My Name is Steven, then do seek it out. I worked in a video store in the early 90s and the VHS of this rented its socks off! More than a lot of the Hollywood blockbusters that my store stocked. I haven’t seen it for a few years but its one I do highly recommend. Corin is amazing in it and with that. Corin Nemec had cemented himself as one of those actors that ‘If hes in it, ill watch it’
Whilst I haven’t seen everything Corin has starred in, I have seen a huge percentage of his work, my favourite being his role as Harold in the Mick Garris directed adaptation of Stephen Kings The Stand, a six hour mini series that I have seen over 25 times (I even had the pleasure of sitting down with Mick Garris to chat about all things including my love for The Stand, a few years ago) Another Stephen King connection with Deadly Justice is that the cast features Brian Krause who also stars in Stephen Kings Sleepwalkers, also directed by Mick Garris.
So its with excitement that this week a new Corin Nemec film has dropped onto Digital over at Prime Video, courtesy of Cockerel Entertainment. That film is 2024’s Deadly Justice which is written by Corin (he has written other films too such as the really good Out of Hand) , and directed by Karyn Klein in their directorial debut. Deadly Justice tells the tale of Prosecutor Holly Powell (played by Kelly Sullivan, General Hospital) who faces a murderous stalker after appearing on a true crime show to discuss her case against a corrupt judge that she convicted.
The stalker believes that the judge is innocent and seeks out a revenge campaign against Holly. This looks like my type of film. Part legal thriller, all psychological thrillers. Now I haven’t yet seen the film but by the end of this week I shall. Deadly Justice is the sort of film I would watch often in my video store days, and I’ve often talked about how I miss those days. Wandering into a video store, choosing carefully and then taking the film home, having paid a little money to rent it, and then fingers crossed. I chose wisely! Whilst video stores aren’t a thing now. Renting films on Video on Demand is as close as I get and its something I tend to do every week or two when I have some spare money. I do this week and so I have rented Deadly Justice from Prime Video. (£3.99 to rent) which you can do HERE
I’m sure the film will tick all the boxes I would like it to tick (keep me entertained, watch a good story unfold and see some great performances on screen) So Ill get my snacks ready, some soft drinks, a comfy chair, dim the lights and Ill get ready to check out Deadly Justice. I will be reviewing the film later this week.
Deadly Justice is on Prime video in the UK, and can be rented for £3/99 and bought for £7.99
