Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

When I see people nit-picking Dan Garcia's movies for obvious military blunders( this movie and Garcia's "Flesh Wounds" with Kevin Sorbo) I laugh out loud. The reason Garcia doesn't "consult" the DOD or any other military adviser is because he doesn't care about authenticity, continuity, or quality(Journey to Promethea). He's a convicted drug dealer (google "Kane and Abel prison") who has been churning out these Louisiana made crappers for years. He rakes in state incentives that post-Katrina Louisiana has been shelling out to attract the movie industry and selling these clunkers on DVD and to foreign markets(I saw his Terror Trap on HBO in China!). If you see Garcia Productions attached to any "film" you will be guaranteed to see lots of bad acting, worse direction, and yes, military people with their hands over their hearts instead of saluting old' Glory.

I would like to disagree with the other viewers who have given this movie such terrible reviews, but, alas, I cannot. If there were an Oscar for the worst movies of the year, this would be a nominee. While the script has small glimmers of possibility, the staging and acting are quick to cover them up. With the exception of the obligatory chase scene, the entire movie seems to have been filmed in a hotel--including the scene which was supposedly taking place in the Capitol. Billy Zane is in only two scenes, and in one of them he does not speak. The supporting actors deliver their lines as if, inasmuch as the producers were trying to keep the budget below $3.95, there were no rehearsals. The sound was terrible and the film quality was very poor. SPOILER ALERT By the time the governor is shot and killed, we were ready to get in line to do the job if no one else did.

I have to agree with the other posters. Watching this movie is one of the worst experiences of my life. The plot goes nowhere, the acting can't be taken seriously, the dialog is ridiculous, the humor is not funny and the action scenes are lame. It feels so long and it runs only 70 minutes. How can someone be proud and put his name on the screen as writer, producer and director for that ? Even Billy Zane and Eric Roberts who made bad movies should be ashamed for doing this one. I hope that people who keep bashing Uwe Boll take a look at this one. They'll know what a really bad movie looks like. That is terrible and I hope the director will stop doing movies and choose to work in another field.

Let's start off by saying that Billy Zane had two scenes in this movie, and that the quick cut away to his image at the beginning doesn't count.Overall, this wasn't that horrible. (Though that's not an accolade). The stars on the cover are not the stars of the film.We have a decent younger actor named Griffin Hood as the real star. Hood and Eric Roberts' character are in charge of Governor Chip Majors (James Dumont), which will of course lead to many shoot outs and assassination attempts.Billy Zane, who gets top billing, had about five minutes in this film. That really ticked me off, as I spent the whole time (which was a short hour and ten minutes) thinking; "Where is the star of the movie?" Steven Bauer has a cool little role as the sleazy presidential nominee, and Eric Roberts is cool anyways.Not a bad Saturday afternoon action flick.
