The Invisible Woman is stealing babies from
local hospitals for an evil master, while Wonder Woman is trying to
take her down. Thief Catcher joins forces with the police to try to
stop the madness of the evil one who is looking for a successor and
to take over his mind and control his body. There is something more
than meets the eye as the Heroic Trio are linked by more than this
case.
It starts off promising, but escalates
downhill rapidly with a particularly bad climactic final fight. The
actors are watchable, but the comic book style action and cheesy
special effects waste their performances. Poor direction and too
much gratuitous bad taste and ugliness mar the overall production
severely. It was followed by a sequel, dubbed EXECUTIONERS but after
watching this film, I have no desire for more.
