ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
movieman_kev Wade (Rutger Hauer) is an American smuggler of biotechnology, during a Russian job, he's quickly disposed of by Merrick (Mark Dacascos). But this being the future, Wade is brought back to life via a clandestine soviet experimentation and goes about gaining vengeance on the people that offed both him and his girlfriend.Make no bones about it, this film is highly forgettable, but for the time that it's on it's entertaining enough. A highly simplistic, derivative story for sure, however for fans of excessive cartoon violence and gratuitous nudity that doesn't advance the plot in the least bit you'll be entertained.Eye Candy: Anita Neszmenyi; Ildikó Szücs, and numerous extras also appear topless; Szilvia Bizek & Yvonne Sciò show everything My Grade: C- DVD Extras: Picture gallery; trailer for this film; and Trailers for "On the Border", "October 22", & "the Peacekeeper"
chris696 After watching the film I can't say I was impressed, I was not surprised to see in the film nude assassins and plastic looking BB guns. Odd styles of dressing mostly leather and plastic looking glasses.The locations were bizarre with some futuristic elements with a lot of old fashioned items like furniture and it appeared the actors only had 2 sets of clothes. I must also mention, I think they only used a total of 6 locations (I could be wrong but I could have sworn the same location was used other with some slight furniture rearrangements)The overall story was rubbish, after bringing in military style weapons and being back stabbed it was a mess of I WANT MY MONEY BACK, the end was just stupid.
William Brown (wdbrown) Gee, what's not to like about this movie? The acting? It's serviceable enough considering this isn't a big budget film. Rutger Hauer's finest work is not demonstrated here, but still this is a Rutger Hauer film which means that it will be a bit different from the regular straight-to-video junk you see. The shootouts were laughable? Of course they were! Shootouts are always laughable in every movie in which a hero survives totally unscathed. The two notable exceptions are "Saving Private Ryan" and "Tombstone". There are a few others, but at least Hauer and Scio aren't sliding down glaciers on a car fender or something of that ilk.Let's put things in proper perspective. When you have a movie that sounds good before it goes on paper, but doesn't look nearly as good after the ink has dried you find ways to make it not a complete waste of time. So you do the following: 1. Get Rutger Hauer2. Buy lots of bullets (hero resistant, of course!)3. Get a beautiful actress (and in this caseYvonne Scio is a 10!)4. Buy some more bullets5. Show lots of skin (Nude female bodybuilders withsoft muscles...hmmmm)6. Have sex ...lots of it7. Buy a few more bullets8. Kill all the bad guys (but only after you revealthat some good guys are bad and worse than thebad guy you were originally after who turns outto be easier to kill than expected)9. Throw in convoluted ending (like my previousparenthetical remark)10. Have more sexFor Pete's sake, people this is a cable channel movie. Enjoy it for the adrenaline and the visual pleasure. Don't get hung up on thinking about it. I'll watch this one again, if there isn't anything else on, or I need an Yvonne Scio fix.
Peter Reid In the context of low-ish budget action flicks with Rutger Hauer in them, this really is quite a gem. What sets it apart is the location shooting in really run down Russian looking locations. The slightly futuristic slightly gone to seed look is great, and equals Blade Runner (though I might be the only one to think this). Remember the start of the James Bond film in the scrap yard with all the Russian statues, well this is like that only better.The film might never attain greatness, but it has a great Point Blank type standoff which even makes sense, a great Blade Runner type ending which makes sense. Did the other reviewers see the same film, there was not that much sex and violence when I saw it.
