“Instant Death” (** out of four) was an instant dud about a former Special Forces veteran (Lou Ferrigno) who is plunged into a brutal drug war between two rival gangs which threatens his life and his family’s safety. Fairly fast-moving but cold and ugly story has little to distinguish it from other and much better underworld action movies. Ferrigno makes you long for the expansive charisma and eloquent style of Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme in the lead.
