And Voight? He's been so over-the-top in movies such as "Anaconda" and "U-Turn," he's threatening to turn over-acting into an industry.

Wayans' dialogue can be uninspired or it can sound as if it were lifted from a stand-up routine. He delivers most of it without changing expressions. Director David Glenn Hogan keeps the picture from expiring by employing car chases, explosions and a leap off a tall building. But this thriller has too few surprises, and too little kick. Rated R.

Robert Denerstein is film critic at the Rocky Mountain News in Denver. By Robert Denerstein Scripps Howard News Service Keenen Ivory Wayans plays America's most wanted man in what might be the season's least needed movie, another pointless thriller. The trouble: "Most Wanted" which Wayans also wrote and produced mixes action and humor without serving up enough of either. In all, Wayans' character has precious little to laugh about. Marine Sgt.

James Dunn begins the movie on death row. Seems he killed a superior officer who ordered him to shoot a 10-year-old boy during the Gulf War. He wouldn't do it. They struggled. A gun went off.

Before you can say "opening credits," Dunn's languishing in a cell. Difficult as it is to imagine, Dunn's life then gets worse, and the movie follows suit. Before 30 minutes have passed, Dunn has been accused of assassinating the first lady of the United States. He finds himself in this predicament when he's asked to join a secret hit squad as a way of getting out of jail. The unit's headed by a devious fellow (Jon Voight) who scowls and has such rigid posture it looks as if he forgot to take the hanger out of his coat.

Dunn's being used as a patsy. Instead of participating in what the movies commonly refer to as a "covert op," he winds up as the most hunted man in the country, a patsy in a complicated cover-up scheme that has something to do with hiding a plot that turned soldiers into guinea pigs, injecting them with an untested vaccine that made them neurological disasters. For the rest of the movie, Dunn tries to clear himself. He receives help from a doctor (Jill Hennessy) who's also pursued by men who are part of the cover-up, which also involves a billionaire drug manufacturer (Robert Culp). When Culp, who made his bones on TV's "I Spy," shows up in a movie, you can bet this isn't an A-list effort.

One of Coe's songs is titled "Willie, Waylon and Me." In it, he ranks himself with outlaw legends Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. Coe, who moved to Nashville from Ohio in 1968, looks like a biker.

He not only sings about prison, but he served four years in jail for possessing burglary tools. He lives alone in a home on a Nashville lake. He and his wife of 14 years, Jody Lynn Coe, were recently divorced; the children live with their mother. Coe also has three grown children from previous marriages. Record company executives always tell him, me four positive love songs about Coe says.

"I would like to be able to write some, you know what I mean? I would LOVE to be able to write some." Instead, he talks of a song-in-progress about a transvestite. It's called "It Takes All Kinds of People to Make the World Go Round." Another project taking form is a song cycle about Coe's divorce. The working title is "There Ain't Nothing Good About Goodbye." By Jim Patterson Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. David Allan Coe is dressed in black from head to toe and wears dark glasses. His long, gray hair stretches down his back, and his gray beard flows a half-foot off his chin.

His arms are covered with tattoos. He's on his way to school to pick up his four younger kids, and he thinks he'll be able to pass himself off as just another parent! In fact, Coe thinks he's being fairly low-key that day. "I don't have my beads in my beard," he says. "I'm just daddy today." Coe, 58, writer of "Take This Job and Shove It," doesn't seem to understand he's not the kind of guy who blends easy into a crowd. But no matter.

Coe remains as cocksure as ever, even though he's been away from the national spotlight for years. Before going off to a local grade school to round up his children Tyler Mahan, Tanya Montana, Shyanne and Carson David, all under 12 Coe sat in the office of a Sony Records executive to discuss his return to the company where he started his recording career as "The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy" in 1974. He's just released "Live If That Ain't MONEV TALKS (R) Country," which includes many of his most recognized songs "The Ride," "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" and "Long Haired Redneck." Coe says he's been welcomed back at Sony because he outlasted the old executives who didn't get it. The younger generation, he says, understands. "I should be promoted as a Bob Dylan-Jackson Browne-Neil Young type of personality," he says.

Baby-boomer Sony execs Allen Butler and Blake Chancey signed Coe and Western swing group Asleep at the Wheel as the first acts on their Lucky Dog imprint. The label's mission is to give major distribution to renegade artists who've long proven their mettle on the road, but whose style doesn't fit on modern country radio. "The thing about these guys is they never sold out to broaden their audience," Butler says. "They just kept doing what they always did and the audience found them." Coe is the kind of erratic-yet-talented character who tends to give Nashville fits. The indus GANG RELATED (R) Coming Soon SOUL FOOD (HI tfl if 3 (Sun.
