Dilemma

I like B movies, but this one sucked! REALLY SUCKED! Badly made, badly acted, badly everything! Only thing interesting about it is that it was made BEFORE "Desperate Measures" (which was even better than this!)

Here's just another bunch of crap to add to C Thomaas's resume. Really, he doesn't really care about how he acts in this one. He just plays Mr super cool "Hey, check me out" cop, as if trying to showcase himself. Honestly I thought this came out later than Desperate Measures, where it hit the shelf later than the Keaton killer flick. Desperate Measures is gold, a real film compared to this. As seeing DM first, with this one, it was just going through the motions, as knowing what was coming next. The story has been adjusted a little but if this was made before the other mainstream hit, it would be wrong of me to say it. How it opens with a stakeout, Howell posing as a drunk, cracked me up. A dying girl needs a bone marrow transplant from mean dude prisoner, Rudy Salazar (Danny Trejo) who honestly should rise above doing this junk, and this is what this film is. He agrees to partake in the operation, and you know why, where soon guns are blazing and fury's rising. Here's the real dilemma. Howell on a personal note wants to take out Trejo, where the other cops have been ordered to take em' in alive. Dilemma is just really entertaining junk, that's nicely wrapped up in the end. Honestly, look at this more as a comedy, as you'll be rewarded better. It's just another forgettable "something to make flick", void of substance, no quality pic, that should of been picked of, or more correctly, UNNECESSARY JUNK, for laughter and cheap entertainment value, for which, I'm humbly grateful.

If you want an exiting film. Welldone and good actors. Choose another one. Dilemma is one good to those who likes to find goofs. There's a lot of them in this film. The whole film sucks. A main character that makes you think of a bad copy of Jim Carrey and GOOFS GOOFS and more GOOFS.

If you want to feel sick and have nothing else to do. See it. Otherwise. Do something else with your life. Politics, music, at least get a hobby.

Not a bad film, just typical for a late '90s B-movie. I grew up on this kind of cinema so these kinds of films are breezy and effortless for me. Danny Trejo is essentially playing exactly the same character as in CON AIR, a really hissable piece of work. C. Thomas Howell's hero is a bit of a lightweight, but other than that it works well enough with a lot of action and incident. The plot seemed very familiar to me and I realised they copied it for a mainstream movie the following year, namely Michael Keaton's DESPERATE MEASURES.

I give the only good comment to C.Thomas Howell; he is a good actor, but not in this film. This farcical account of an escaped death row inmate as the world's only bone marrow donor to a dying young girl is a bust from Salazar's (Danny Trejo)escape as well. I'll just say this;where did they obtain guns that fire so much without a reload for this entire flick? Bottom line...do not waste your rental money or even cable time on this one. I hope more people see this one though and vote enough to put it in the bottom 250. However, if you liked US Seals...this is YOUR movie.
