Striker shoots the killer and dies saving Sherry's life
Sherry enjoys room service while avoiding commitment to testify
The film surges from its slowest, talkiest section to its most thrilling climax as Striker's redemptive sacrifice elevates the entire story.
Tight Spot starts as a stagey, dialogue-heavy chamber piece that tests viewers' patience with its confined hotel setting and Rogers' sometimes tiresome tough-talking performance. The film gains momentum through its middle act with solid action sequences and an effective plot twist, before reaching its emotional and dramatic peak in Striker's heroic sacrifice that redeems both his character and the overall story.
