Surprisingly good !

My wife and really enjoyed this film. Julian Sands was terrific, and it was not the predictable B grade film that I expected. It left us with a positive feeling. Although not an eco-green environmental film, I think that 'eco-types' will like this film. A few of the lines were silly and over-acted, but much of the script was quite good, with a some clever humour. If you do not want a block buster action film, rent it as a nice decent B grade flick. There are no monsters or scary special effects, so if you do not like sci-fi, don't let this put you off.
