Adrenalin: Fear the Rush

This feels like movie that was dubbed into English from the original Linear A. Adrenaline was surely a mistranslation. The word they were looking for was "Don't".

Lambert and Henstridge are competent actors. They have earned themselves a better film than this. There are plot holes you can fly the space shuttle through. Enough continuity errors for a drinking game. The production crew should have waited for the gaffer to return from vacation before filming. And vampires. Vampires! How original.

Three stars for Lambert and Henstridge doing their best to turn nothing into something. Zero stars for the nothing they had to work with.

Three stars.

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.

An interesting concept and a fast paced movie.

I'm not really concerned with whether or not this was a low or big budget movie. A good film can be made with few or lots of $. Unfortunately, this one is a stinker. The overall idea of cops chasing a viiolent plague victim is interesting, but the execution is poor. There are so many illogical and outright silly goings on that it's hard to get involved with the film. Not helping things is the slew of cliched tricks and devices thrown in from the constant amplified panting of all the characters to flashlights that go out at all the right, or wrong times. The film has a few overtly gratuitous and pointlessly nasty scenes. The ending is just flat out incoherent. On the plus side, Lambert and Henstridge don't suck. They are not given much to do acting wise in the picture, but with what they have to work with they do a passable job. There are a few moments of suspense but mostly the film alternates between being repellent and insulting.

Awesome movie. Fast-paced from beginning to the end. It never gets boring. Very gory and bloody. Kick-ass movie. 10/10...
