A Zero budget James Bond Wannabe *1/2 out of *****
I only made managed to watch about 45 minutes of this badly acted nonsense before I fell asleep (it was that gripping!) so I missed the last 30 minutes.. what a pity!
'Doomsdayer' is clearly a James Bond wannabe even copying the 'Action' sequence of the latter that occurs before the Main titles,
The plot is totally irrelevant but here goes - A international Terrorist group headed by Max Gast (why are all bad guys called Max?) whose played by Udo Kier clearly slumming it. Max has in his possession a deadly weapon called the 'Doomsdayer' (what a crappy name) which can trigger a meltdown in every nuclear power plant on Earth, so James Bond Wannabe Jack Logan played by Beefcake Joe Lara is called in to save the day.
The scene where Max (Udo) kills all his 'people' with glasses of poisoned wine is truly hilarious..
Brigette Nielsen....Yes that Brigette Nielsen looks like hell as if she's been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson and the ghastly make-up she's plastered with has made her look as if she has what appears to be a moustache, and her acting makes Steven Seagal look like Laurence Olivier.... dear god she's terrible.
What about the 'bond' type girl in this!!!! ...dear god.... what a sight!... Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) she is not.
I've always liked B Movie veteran Udo Kier, I've liked him ever since I saw Andy Warhol's Dracula & Frankenstein from the 1970's, and he is by far the best actor in this garbage, but this is even below him.
I saw this movie right after I saw 'Megalodon' (2002) (Read review) I am a glutton for punishment obviously and the only good thing I can say about this film is that is was the better of the two.
There is a fair bit of action in this which raises my vote from 2 to 3 but everyone in this takes it all too seriously as if they're making a film to compete against James Bond, I'm afraid this is another STV release which Steven Seagal even now would turn down.
