Deadly Impact is a rather sweet new drama just released by MGM on April 20th. They'll be a full review next week or so. We talked to director Robert Kurtzman.

Deadly Impact is a rather sweet new drama just released by MGM on April 20th. They'll be a full review next week or so. In the meantime, I had the chance to talk to a couple of folks involved in the film. The first was Robert Kurtzman, who directed the movie.
