Frank Whaley is the only moderately good thing about this film


The writing is terrible and cliche, the plot is mediocre, but at least Whaley knows he's in a movie. Also, the effects or so bad it hurts. If it wasn't for the edge blur effect I think this movie would actually have NO effects.

I agree that Frank Whaley is far and away the best thing in the movie.

Unfortunately, since Mr. Whaley is the biggest name actor in the cast, as soon as he shows his face, you know he's going to have a significant role.

Just like watching Law and Order. If a movie star shows their face on the TV show, you know they will be the bad guy or close to the bad guy.




No two persons ever watch the same movie.

so true.....
it was pretty obvious Whaley would be the bad guy.

Tessie Santiago was not terrible...like a poor man's Eva Longoria...
and Chris Bruno was dependable...a good second man..not a lead.

the movie was semi enjoyable....
could use some work on the script though...

I give it a 5...
