Razor Blade is a 1989 action-thriller movie directed and co-written by Sal-and Chuck Vincent under their joint production company Vince-Ern Productions. The movie features Maria Ford, Eb Lottimer, and Karen Mayo-Chandler in lead roles. The film is set in the decaying landscape of a nightmarish urban city where a young woman comes across hooligans and drug lords who threaten to break her spirit and body.

The story revolves around Danielle "Dany" Taylor (Maria Ford), a beautiful, smart but naïve college girl with a troubled past, who takes up a new job in the city after running away from home. However, she soon realizes that life in the city is not what she had imagined. One evening while coming back home, Dany falls victim to a group of ruthless street punks who beat her senselessly and brutalize her with a razor blade, leaving her scarred for life.

Dany's encounter with the gang not only forces her to confront her inner demons but also pushes her towards seeking revenge against those who wronged her. She decides to take matters into her own hands and learns the art of self-defense from a martial arts expert, Jack Stone (Eb Lottimer). Jack Stone is a demoted cop who has been reduced to working at a rundown gym. Jack takes a liking to Dany and trains her to fight back against the vicious criminals.

As Dany becomes stronger and more confident, she sets out to track down the gang members who attacked her. Her journey takes her deep into the city's underworld where she has to dodge the dangerous drug lords and Kingpin Daisy (Karen Mayo-Chandler). Daisy is the crimelord of the city who claims to have a hold on everything and everyone. Daisy also runs a prostitution ring, where she keeps young girls as sex slaves under her control. Dany finds herself amidst the decadence and lawlessness of the city, coming up against numerous obstacles, including corrupt cops who try to stop the vigilante justice Dany is dispensing.

The movie is a tense and gritty thriller, focusing on the dark and seedy underbelly of society while also exploring themes of strength, resilience, and overcoming adversity through sheer willpower. The intensity of the film is brought to life by Maria Ford's powerful and moving portrayal of a woman fighting for her dignity and revenge. Eb Lottimer and Karen Mayo-Chandler also deliver noteworthy performances. The fight scenes are well choreographed and filmed, with a touch of realism that makes them all the more impactful.

In conclusion, Razor Blade is a must-watch for fans of action-thriller movies, and particularly those who enjoy movies with strong female leads. The film is a gripping tale of survival, revenge, and redemption set in a gritty and violent world. Despite its age, it remains relevant today, with messages that are still fresh and timely. Anyone looking for a powerful and engaging ride should definitely give Razor Blade a try.
