I could only get 1/3rd the way through this piece of trash. There are completely absurd sequences of thing happening and they just waltz right into Cyberdyne like it was a motel 6. Then a they go to a nuke reactor and just stroll in there like a walk in the park! All in all the acting is sub-par and the writing is even worse. 4 thumbs down. Spend the money and see Matt Damon in Bourne Identy and Bourne Supremacy and the soon to come Bourne (shhhh, it's a secret ;) ). Oh and BTW I found a good use for the DVD that I paid all to much for. I use the DVD for a .06875" shim for leveling critical things to level and the case is under a wobbly piece of furniture. And why isn't there a rating of 0 (zero) on this site? I gave it the lowest rating I could, honest :\

This is a terrorist film, but remember that this film came out before Sept 11, 2001. It doesn't matter because it's still a bad film. Too bad. I got it mainly for Treat Williams.The first two DVD chapters, 10mins, are borrowed film clips from the ending of Terminator I; not copied scenes, but actual film footage. That set my mood but no matter how positive I tried to remain, this film never did anything. Bad camera angles, bad acting, bad script, predictable, mediocre effects. Personally I would whisper if I am close to the terrorists. A terrorist that says goodbye after making demands? No depiction of recording the terrorist conversation, and no government on site; they left it up to the local small town sheriff's department. If the US government officials depicted here are a reflection of real government officials, then we are in big trouble. Relax, even the most incompetent could not be that bad. A wasted 1 hour 35 minutes, plus the DVD rental fee.

This film is hilarious from the very first scene, which not only uses the same plot as that of Terminator 2 and the attack on the Cyberdyne building, it goes as far as actually using the real footage!!!The film is a great laugh, not at all because of the very poor screen writing and appauling acting, but because it seems to have tried to compress every action movie into one. The plot is that of Die Hard, one guy on the inside against an overwhelming force of terrorists, and of course the guy has a grudge against the world for past problems.But to top it all off the penultimate scene is once again not only the same as that of Universal Soldier, but they actually used the real footage! Again!3 Films in one.I recommend watching this just for the sheer hilarity, oh and the two really attractive women, Lori Loughlin, and another nice blonde who appears to be wearing the worlds shortest skirt.Finally if this isn't a spoof, then the director and producers should seek mental guidance.

Apart from the first ten minutes, which are shamelessly lifted DIRECTLY from Terminator 2 (exactly the same shots - maybe they couldn't afford to do their own explosions)this is brilliant b-movie fare, encapsulating several Shakespearean themes in a twenty-first contextualisation, with that fine character actor Treat Williams expertly dealing with the conflicting emotions, weight problems and freak bad luck thrown at the lead man. Go and see this film: the dialogue may be a touch wooden, the effects a touch cheap and the acting a touch awful but you can see that there is a touch of class about this movie.
