This movie could be fatal to watch!

This amateur production is appalling. Shot on video, everything about this so called movie is amateurish. The acting is a joke. The actors are a joke. The costumes were left over from Halloween. The car chases were incredible. They must have been going 10 mph at their top speed. How could this production be offered to the public? And it said it was based on a story from the Bible? This is sacrileges.

Far more fun than it has any right to be

After escaping from a government facility, a soldier seeks refuge in a secret sewer-dwelling society of rebels looking to overthrow the government, and when he discovers what's happening with his son teams up with them to infiltrate their compound and save him using a secret power to do so.

This was an exceptionally enjoyable shot-on-video effort. Among its better features is the striking and engaging setup, providing this with a highly effective storyline featuring the dystopian society at play within here as the various pieces involving the government operation that plagues him, the lengths to which they go through to bring him back and the numerous goings-on that highlight this universe. Featuring the underground society of rebels that live in the sewers offering everything from child bodyguards, bare-knuckle boxing, and a life outside of government regulations, this provides a great background that goes alongside the desire to retrieve him through the androids that are sent after him. This is all entirely ambitious and far grander in scope than what would be expected in this type of genre outing which goes hand-in-hand with the type of action on display as well. The early scenes here provide a fine mix of Action and more traditional genre fare with the exciting car chase through the city ruins or the brawl with the robot that signals what he really is. The main part of the film, with the assault on the military compound involving all sorts of confrontations and shootouts with the numerous mutant guards in the facility or brawling with the forces on both sides along the way, has quite a lot to like while also setting up the low-budget special effects to generate a highly-effective atmosphere of cheese. That all manage to keep this one enjoyable enough to overcome the fact that the microbudget origins are on full display here which might be an issue for some but isn't a full-on issue here considering what it does with that budget.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
