Great idea, great directing, horrible leading man.


What a waste.

OK, he's not horrible, but he's no star, either.

This film has so much going for it, but Boggs just can't deliver the goods. He's good looking, I guess, but that's not enough.

The rest of the cast was superb. With a better leading man, and a little more clarity in the third act, this could have been a cult classic. (and the start of a whole new genre.)

Gonna' keep my eye on this director.

Well which leading Hollywood actor do you know of would care to star in a ultra low budget action movie? I agree that Boggs wasn't the best choice, but they certainly did well with what they had. Great action movie.
