Ed Bishop highlights an otherwise hackneyed tv movie, 2 June 1999
1/10
Author: SHADO-5

Ed Bishop, best known for his brilliant realization of Commander Straker in the epic Science Fiction series, "UFO", makes this otherwise predictable and dull tv movie worth watching. Bishop lends both humor and gravitas to a movie that desperately needs both.
