User Reviews

Better than most Direct to DVD movies

The good parts- an actually interesting concept, so okay (but not great) action scenes. Lots of okay sex scenes.

The bad parts- The movie starts out very slow. A lot of characters are introduced with no real background as to who they are or what they are doing there. Some truly atrocious acting.

So why am I giving it a good rating? Because unlike a lot of big budget movies, these guys actually made an effort.

The plot is that the US has collapsed into anarchy, the UN has taken over, and the masses are being mollified by a virtual reality game that involves a lot of stock footage, some various re-enactment groups and some fairly unconvincing fight sequences. The action centers around a rebel named Singleton, who survives fight after fight with a hunter named Deitreich, whom he had crippled in the real world.

Meanwhile, his fellow rebels plan to defeat the evil corporation by implanting a virus into their computer which will not only destroy the game, but blow up their headquarters.

It silly, but it's fun.
