The Sector

Yes, this is a low budget film (IMDB estimates $250,000). This movie has to be a labor of love considering the quality of actors involved and the money allotted. You've got Lance Henriksen, Vernon Wells, Eric Roberts, the guy from Flash, couple of actors from TV's Walker Texas Ranger. But who really caught my eye is the lead, the bounty hunter played by Richard Tyson. Tyson as Dresher tracking down the low life scum John Hanson gave me a flash back to Tyson as Buddy Revell tracking down Jerry Mitchell in the high school cult film Three O'clock High. "You try and run, I'm gonna track you down. You sneak home, I'm gonna be under your bed" You made me mad, Jerry...now I'm gonna have to do something to work it off.." Maybe it's just me, but I felt like I was watching Buddy Revell 30 years later in a dystopian world with a fuzzy alternate universe plot line. Tyson as Dresher evokes the same intelligent menace as he did as Buddy Revell. I can't wait for "Buddy Revell goes to Mars". This time, can we cast Casey Seimaszko as an annoying sidekick?

Another post apocalyptic flick where Richard Tyson roams the wastelands as a bounty hunter. During his travels he meets Lance Henrikson who is from an alternate universe and that their universe has been dumping its problems into the other universe or the sector. He finds out he's been dealt a bad hand and sets out to rectify it.

This is beyond crap. They should put this film in The Sector. If you're looking for Eric Roberts he does his usual 2 minute scene, near the end. The film is way muddled and just boring. The blood from gunshots is cheesy CGI if that tells you anything. Tyson walks around in this one like he wants someone to shoot him in the head to put him out of his misery. They even set up a sequel. Vernon Wells did a good job playing the baddie which makes it worth at least 3 out of 10.

The Sector merupakan film paling buruk yang pernah aku nonton, begitu membosankan, sangat sangat jelek dan mengerikan, jangan buang buang waktu mu untuk menonton film bodoh ini.

End to end dramatic delivery. Real, proper, Shakespeare like delivery from nearly everyone.

Many portentous speeches.

Everyone has a smoldering look.

Requisite slightly mad tribal leader with contrasting face paint.

Plinky plinky piano and twang twang bass line score.

A lead character and supporting cast that look remarkably well fed for their apocalyptic environment.

The writer and director do not understand less is more.

Feels like it desperately wanted to be picked up for a TV series.

If it was shot in a weekend for less than the cost of a small car then it's a classic. If not, find something else.

A decent effort for a reported $250,000\£211,000 odd budget.

But, as a standalone film it's rather poor and frustrating as way to much information missing and an ending that makes you feel has the film been incorrectly edited with missing scenes and the last parts missing etc.

In reality it feels more a feature length TV series pilot than a film as clearly it feels and looks to have been a setup for a TV series than a standalone film. Though sadly there seems to be no sign of a TV series being in development so who knows what the intent of this film really was.

If this was a confirmed pilot for a confirmed TV series I could easily have given it a 7/10. But as a standalone film it's fairly pointless and left me feeling frustrated and could not therefore give it any more than a 3/10.
