Mighty Jack

About This Movie

Mighty Jack is one of those oddball 80s TV movies that you stumble upon and wonder how it slipped under the radar. The pacing is a mix of frantic action and drawn-out suspense as the team battles the criminal organization Q. The atmosphere is very much of its time—bright colors, synth-heavy score, and a certain cheesiness that could either charm you or make you cringe. The practical effects on the high-tech submarine are pretty interesting, given the budget constraints. The performances, while sometimes a bit wooden, manage to deliver the necessary urgency. It's distinctive mostly due to its bizarre premise and that strong reliance on technology themes, which were all the rage back then. Not your typical action flick, that's for sure.
