Pushed to the Limit

Pushed to the Limit is a 1992 action pro wrestling feature film written by Mimi Lesseos and directed by Michael Mileham. Starring Mimi Lesseos and Verrel Lester Reed, the film is about a wrestling queen who finds out that a gangster is responsible for her brothers death and trains in kickboxing to avenge his death.

Girls With Guns gave the film a poor review, writing Lesseos makes for a decent fighter and a tolerable actress, though the subplot which has her as a showgirl in Vegas is irrelevant, inane and positively winceinducing..., ...its the story that really kills this, and ...having a female lead is a nice idea, but much more effort is needed, rather than thinking this is sufficient in and of itself. TV Guide also panned the film, offering ...a film of the calibre of PUSHED TO THE LIMIT defies criticism by its multitude of mistakes, from Lesseoss selfaggrandizing screenplay to Michael Milehams bungled directionrendering it not good, not bad, but gleefully awful, Thankfully, Michael Milehams incompetent direction blunts any glorification of Lesseos. Mileham directs with his eyes closedscenes are jumbled and the point of scenes obscured by characters who block the camera lens., and concludes with as a truly bad film, you cant get any betteror worsethan this shoddy and cheapjack ego.Despite the film itself having poor reviews, star Mimi Lesseos received recognition when the film was screened at the 2006 Action On Film International Film Festivalyears after its initial release and she received nominations for both Breakout Action Star and Female Action Performer of the Year. ........
