Fatal Secret

About This Movie

Fatal Secret is one of those mid-to-late 80s action flicks that really tries to capture the zeitgeist of its era. You've got the CIA and KGB all scrambling for a floppy disc, which is kind of hilarious now, right? David Carradine's performance as Michael LeWinter adds this quirky charm—he’s both tough and oddly laid back. The pacing swings from frenetic action to slower moments, which definitely gives it a unique rhythm. The practical effects are what you'd expect for the time, with a certain rawness that adds to its charm. It’s that classic vibe of everyone chasing something, and the stakes never really feel low, which is kind of refreshing. Overall, it’s a fascinating snapshot of that action genre phase—definitely has its quirks.
