Avis à la une
Come on, now where do you get a comic book hero beat up the guy who got steamrolled by BO JACKSON! Yes, The Boz will kick my tail for that last statement-Yes, I'm joking! Anyways, moving along past the preliminaries, Dean Cain and Brian Bosworth make this movie tick-no doubt about it! It's a first-class action flick with a cool story line-think about it a government cover-up about AIDS medicine! O.k. Dean Cain does a good job as a convincing reporter who won't let go of a good story and The Boz captures the spotlight in his role as a lethal congressional bad ass with that signature weapon of choice. The Boz needs his own T.V. show as a relentless hit-man of no remorse-that's how good he displays himself in this performance. O.K., end of review-bottom line, yes, it's worth a look-especially if you are a Boz fan, but none the less it's worthy of top reviews for a video that unfortunately went straight to video! Believe me you won't be let down besides it was USA the other morning-can't be that bad!
This seemed like pretty standard B-movie fare when I decided to see it. Dean Cain and Brian Bosworth pretty much guarantee a mediocre movie at best. But I was a bit surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie. I am not saying this is a great movie or a must see, but I did enjoy watching it.
The premise is kind of standard, guy's best friend does something to get into trouble with the really powerful bad guys. So this guy ends up having to defeat the bad guys. Dean Cain plays the hero and does a fairly good job. Brian Bosworth is the head thug and was quite surprising. As an actor he has come a long way (although he did start way behind so that isn't saying too much).
Anyway, if you are into this kind of movie, you might just enjoy it. If you don't like this particular genre, the best steer clear, because while it is fairly good, it won't win any converts.

It was the worst 1 and 45 mins. of my life. This movie ranks just below Futuresport, Final Encounter and Militia. Let's just hope Clubhouse keeps him from making anymore turkeys such as this movie. I wouldn't recommend this moving to someone that I hated! The plot had more holes than Swiss cheese. First he's walking around in a cast, now he's not. He can jump through fire, leap over cars but he can still get around. Yeah right.
I too, do not understand the positive reviews of this movie. It was just full of lousy writing, lousy editing, and lousy acting. Dean Cain tries to summon up enough enthusiasm for this lousy movie, but deep down, I think he's seeing the paycheck at the end of the tunnel.

Dean Cain plays an ex high school football star turned journalist with Navy Seal training. Yes, seriously. I can't make this up. He stumbles upon a conspiracy when his doctor friend is accused of a murder, but then is killed himself. Further digging reveals college students linked to the dead doc, diseases and the bent pharmaceutical industry.
Brian Bosworth is the crooked detective in charge of making it all go away and tying up loose ends. Canadian actor Nigel Bennett (Forever Knight) plays the flicks corrupt politician tied to the drug company. The story pulls no punches while offering up the standard checklist of car chases, foot chases, few explosions, expendable supporting characters, a bad line or two of dialog.
Halifax, Nova Scotia stands in for New England, USA so quite a list of recognizable locations to be spotted for anyone who's ever lived there. Otherwise being a fan of Cain, Bosworth or willing to shut off your brain and enjoy this nonsense is a must. A pretty standard dtv actioner of it's day nothing is super painful, but also not many surprises on hand.

I enjoyed the movie. Think of why a company, with stockholders, is in business. They are in business to produce a profit, which means to provide a consumable item, and continue to have "repeat" consumers. Drug companies are the same. They also have a lot of money, power, and a powerful lobby. It has been said that they control the FDA. There are cures for virtually all diseases, however, not by FDA definition. Cures can only come from "drugs". Natural herbs can not be a "cure" because they can not be patented, and therefore be a cure. No one is going to spend the billion dollars to get FDA approval for a herb that costs pennies or a couple dollars. Spending 1 billion to create a drug which has a slightly different make up, and selling it for $20+ per pill, only makes financial sense for a drug company. So, if they stumble on a cure, you can bet your bottom dollar, it will never see the light of day. You have to wonder how many government officials are shareholders of drug companies and have influence. Don't believe the drug ads too much, except the part they have to list the "complications" that may arise. So, I believe this movie to be one to open the eyes of the viewer. Much like Erin Brockovich and other "expose" movies and books.
