A waste of precious time!, 26 January 2006

Author: Vincente Mino from Romania

Not even worth a talk.This comment is only meant as a warning to people who value their free time.The movie has a ridiculous script, with countless points where it's obvious that the course of action was decided on the set(for example the chase in the supermarket where Rollie seems not to know what he's doing, and why), and a whole series of ridiculous and unnecessary fx-tricks display(like the can-explosion in the supermarket), meant only to deceive the audience into not thinking about the numerous flaws(bad camera-work and even worse directing and pyrotechnics).Basically it's an attempt to sell the characters form the original(which is not a great, but a quite watchable movie) in the same packing, just like a remake, but without any story.

A waste of Brian Brown's, Brian Dennehy's (both decent actors), but most of all a waste of our free time.
