- A Cinematic Warning About Governmental Abuse of PowerEssentially, Supreme Sanction is about abuse of power. A clandestine U.S. government agency called Alpha Section is engaged in Counter Terrorism or CT. The government has been cutting back on funding for counter terrorism (you can tell this was made before September 11th, 2001) and the administrators of Alpha Section come to the conclusion that if their agency's funding is ever going to be restored to its previous high level, then the agency is going to have to create a domestic terrorism scare by ...

- Not bad at all.A government assassin develops the most deadly weapon of all...a conscience.
A government assassin (Kristy Swanson) refuses to kill a reporter (David Dukes) and instead teams up with him to break the story of corruption in her agency, all the while being hunted by her ex-superior (Michael Madsen) and protected by her good natured "gadget man" (Donald Faison).
This is an above average TV movie that's simply fun to watch.
Be on the lookout for Ron Perlman as "the ... Read More

- Great movie with vision into the future and political hintsA scaring movie if you look at the story line. Considering the parallels to the Bush administrations plots happening, after this movie was made. It is just amazing, how the director of the movie came up with this. I really wonder why this movie was not stronger promoted in The United States. This one really makes you think about the consequences of a fashist government, silencing citizens and news reporters, up to execution of very critical citizens. Just in order to justify the maintaining of certain ... Read More

- Not bad, but rather Deja Vu.This is really a shame. Supreme Sanction is a fast-moving, enjoyable action thriller, but so much of it has been copied from other movies. The 'assassin refuses to shoot and becomes a target himself' theme is straight out of Replacement Killers. The 'Government agency fakes terrorist attack to get more funding' comes out of Long Kiss Goodnight' and the helicopter stunts that open the movie are the same footage I saw in Firebirds. This said, Supreme Sanction is a well acted movie with a good script. ... Read More

- Entertaining, especially the commentary special feature.I save the movie on DVD and really enjoyed it. However, I like it even more watching it a second time with the candid commentary by Michael Madsen and the director. They are hilarious. They don't just talk about the movie, there are other personal tid bits that you get from Michael. He should commentate on all of his future movies that come out on DVD.
