Featured review
Incompetent
Another day, another awful Cash Markman porn movie. "X Patriot" (that's a pun title, but all sources foolishly list it as Patriot X, not matching what's displayed in the credits) is a spy comedy with some of the worst cliche dialogue imaginable. Let's put it this way, had ChatGPT been released 35 years earlier, Markman wouldn't exist and porn fans would be a lot better off.
Frank Marino, who muffs the editing/coninuity on at leas one sex scene, has zero production value to work with. The intrigue and suspense of even the junkiest Euro Grade Z spy movie is missing, and instead of ANY gadgets, weapons or high-tech, we have filing cabinets to stare at. Worse yet, he has the entire femme cast (good looking of course) recite their dialogue as dull as possible -no retakes, baby!
Instead of the usual enemies, the French are suspected of stealing government secrets. Kyle Stone is in charge and assigns Peter North an Veronica Sage to find out who might be inside the American orginaiztion acting as a mole.
Literally nothing happens (other than extraneous sex scenes) en route to a gathering of the cast in the file room for the final reveal, very awkwardly staged by Marino. Bad guys are identified in boring fashion, and I was left in despair as no Don Adams "Get Smart" funny finish was delivered. Oddly enough, Cash Markman did a couple of full-scale ripoffs of "Get Smart" a decade later which were better than this stinker, but that's not saying much.
