“Beckman” (** out of four) was an ungainly B-movie actioner about an underground contract killer (David A.R. White) who finds God and turns his life around to become the reverend of an L.A. church but is called back into action when a villainous cult leader (William Baldwin) kidnaps his daughter and he springs back into bloody vengeance but this puts him at odds and question with his newfound faith. Heavy-handed mix of pulp action and religious sentiments at least has some good action scenes in its second half after a sluggish opening. Strong supporting cast including Jeff Fahey, Burt Young, and Brighton Sharbino are mostly wasted. Both Fahey and Baldwin both co-produced.
