This Movie Sucked!!!!!!

It was Ok for a low budget film

Whether one likes the film or not (personally, I find it posseses a very fine first half before succuming to ludicrousness in the second half), there's little denying that Michael Biehn has immense talent and star wattage.

I think it's a great film, one of my faves in some way but I agree it fell a bit flat after the mid point. i think the blame lies with the mental hospital scene as that was done really badly. its a really important scene where the whole plot is explained and its really rushed but this could be down to budget constraints. the final scene is fantastic, bringing the adrenaline pumping ride that was the first half back in to action.

I'll be back!

no... hate to say this.. but it truly sucked.. it sucked the mother of all wienies. i finally was able to obtain a VHS for $6.00. I tried getting it on DVD - thank gawd i didn't pay the $100.00 from some vendor. I was actually excited to be able to watch Michael Biehn as the STAR of a movie, versus him being a co-lead.

He had his "moments" in the movie, but not often. I think the only reason they added the porn stars, and naked holographs was to try to get a larger audience. All a 17 year old kid has to say to his friends is: "There was a couple of scenes with naked women flashing across the screen", and up goes the stats.

My boyfriend laughed through the first part of the movie, especially during the Billie Blanks attack scene which looked amateurish compared to today's standards. after about 15 mins. of listening to my boyfriend Guffawing next to me, i snatched the VHS out of the player and put it away.. even i was embarrassed over the horrible acting: "Eddyyyyyyyyy!"

i watched the rest alone.. but it all just looked "staged".. especially when he came bursting into the room to protect his girlfriend.

I can see that the movie didn't exactly flop. $6,000 to make and they made $60,000 on it. so it wasn't a total loss.. wasn't for me either, really.. at least i was able to see him with no clothes on..nice butt!


some days, it's not worth chewing through the restraints..

You say “suck” like it’s a bad thing. Ask your boyfriend if he thinks it’s a bad thing.

IRL, Billy Blanks would snap Biehn like a dry twig. Is that what you meant by “unrealistic”?

The Conan girl was named Valaria. Was that too difficult for you to spell?

If you get the impression that I don’t like you, bravo.
