Police officers Delon (Natasha Henstridge) and Lemieux (Christopher Lambert) learn of a grisly murder in the Boston camp and team up to investigate.

jjletto Maybe this was the thesis of the director (title: "make a movie using everything you have already seen in other claustrophobic movies"). ALL stereotypes of claustrophobic movie are present. And NOTHING more. It lacks: plot, dialogues, characters (I mean characters that resembles human beings)... Cops act as fearless brainless heroes or coward chicks. The "enemy" seems a sniper genius until five minutes before the end. Then he turns in a dumb stupid sub human villain. It seems the the "plot" was added with glue (and written by a baby), and anyway at the end something seems unclear. Only one thing is not negative: fast pace movie. The first 10 minutes can let you think it's a good movie. Do not trust them ;)
interunic Although I can accept the critics of the minimal storyline this movie shows, I don't get what's the real problem with it. The effects and stunts are okay. The characters are of a standard kind for a movie like that. Story and idea are on a good atmospheric level. And the main argument for rating this movie on a higher position: Excitement... really nerve wrecking excitement. Also, Natasha Henstridge and Christopher Lambert did a good job. I like both of them as actors and charmful characters. The combination of Mad Max, Bone Collector and Escape from NY fits to the main actors and results in a interesting and thrilling movie based in somewhat dirty end-times.
Zargo If you let the movie suck you in then you'll be in for a tense and exciting 76 minutes. If you sit there and let your mind wander and start thinking about things such as why the police cars in the movie all have policia written on them when the movie is set in an American city (Boston I think...), you'll be in for a very boring time, and you'll probably agree with the lowly rating that this movie has on this site. It's an interesting and unique movie though, and doesn't deserve to be named one of the all-time stinkers. If you're looking for better Albert Pyun, and better Christopher Lambert, then tune in to their second project together, 'Mean Guns'.
JOSEPH-444 Although this movie probably had only a small budget it definatly does not look tacky.The sets and custume's are simple and effective,the cast is good and christopher lambert looks and acts well. the film is basicly one long chase seen, which means that the 77 minute run time does not seem short, although an extra half an hour would have been usefull to give more explonation to the whole story Also it looks like the end has been cut short, which leaves you thinking how it really should of ended. My one major problem with this film is there is to much suspence and not enough action. The seen where christopher lambert gets shot is quite impressive, its worth watching this film just for that seen.Over all this is a good low budget movie, which could have been very good if they had not cut short the ending.
