User Reviews

As far as half-baked low budget sci-fi curiosities go there are worse ways to spend a couple of hours.

From the beginning this film is relentless swearing, dubious shootouts, massive explosions and over the top characterisation. I liked it.

This was broadcast in UK on the Movies4men channel, there are absolutely no romantic elements to this story.

In the future a criminals are kept in cold storage and their minds reprogrammed in holographic stasis (what?). One such criminal escapes in holographic form, it is up to the man who captured him etc etc.

It is easy to see the influence of hit films of the era such as Demolition Man, T2, Robocop, The Lawnmower Man and Virtuosity.

Presumably Bruce Campbell and Lance Henrickson were busy hence their absence from this movie.

Quite why some of the other reviewers are so critical is beyond me. Did the title and synopsis indicate to them that this film would be shortlisted for the Oscars? Unlikely as it isn't about AIDS or the holocaust luvvies.

Technically the film has been quite well shot and very well edited.

The sound quality is passable but nothing special.

Overall this was quite a fun film to with an interesting enough premise, and would be good to watch with friends with a few beers
