Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I haven't see this yet, but from what normal critics have said so far, i think i will definitely try it.. The best quoted comment i found was this "I have not seen Lee Majors since the "fall guy" and "the six million dollar man" it was a treat to see him again after all these years. It was a far stretch from being a TV star to a serial killer. I thought he did an excellent job portraying a serial killer. " And i was surprise to see Michael Paré :)And i am totally in agreement with the above - it's made me want to watch it.Lee Majors was rarely on screen , i saw "STEEL" from 1979 when i was just 11 year's old.. so this is going to be a treat for me :)

To the sympathetic sole that says he feels sorry for the schmucks that watched the whole thing, I accept his sympathy. I was truly one of the schmucks that took in this whole movie. What was I thinking? This was horrific. This was a bore-a-thon. This was incoherent. The plot made no sense. The actors were so-so. Just a very bad experience. Nothing made sense. It was like the person that wrote this movie was on drugs.It was an atypical murder movie with the typical suspect... a school janitor, played by 'desperate for a role' Lee Majors. Another religious nut but this time it involved a religious nut with kids all over the Northern hemisphere. Very silly and there was no gore or nudity. Gore and/or nudity would have added a star or 2 for an alpha male like myself. This was simply blaise with many attractive female stars , well covered .

Fate is one of those rare films that comes along every once in a while and intrigues you from start to finish. The pace of the action picks up gradually as a string of murders leaves a community baffled. Throw in the unusual pairing of Michael Pare and Philip Michael Thomas and it makes for a high-strung, tension-filled atmosphere as the two cops struggle not only to solve the case, but also to cope with their own differences.Lee Majors is absolutely chilling as the troubled, deranged loner. The fact that he works as a custodian in a local school around very young children creates all the more psychological horror for the audience. What will he do next?The amazing string of events that leads to the shocking, Hitchcockian ending--and the killer's twisted revelation--will put you on the edge of your seats. Director/producer Ace Cruz has created a modern masterpiece of cerebral suspense.

Armed with no particular viewing agenda when I arrived at the video store the other night, I decided to rent this handsome thriller of a film. The result was one of those happy accidents where you inadvertently discover a film that turns out to be quite enjoyable, and you think, "Man, I'm glad I got to see this." It's certainly worth the watch. The story was compelling and I really did not expect the surprise ending. I've seen plenty of bad b-movies whose plots (if you want to call them that) are flat and boring, where you know exactly how things are going to turn out in the first five minutes. "Fate" kept me interested until the end with its compelling premise and storytelling.The film also looked great...in a league similar to some of the Hollywood studios' more moderate budget action fare. And, the make up effects were cool, too.The acting also held up as well. I pretty much expected Phillip Michael Thomas to be washed up, but he surprised me with his subtle and smoldering performance. And while he wasn't part of the main name cast, there was something about director Ace Cruz's performance that made his detective colleague character enjoyable to watch. What else can I say? I think it's worth checking out, and I look forward to more from Ace Cruz and the gang.
