OK made for T.V movie

I just finished watching this movie on TV and before i watched it i thought that this movie would suck so much but this movie turned out to be OK but by far not a great or even a good movie.There is a surprisingly impressive cast in this b grade made for T.V movie with good actors and actress like Lucy Lawless,John Heard from the good movie Home Alone and Mike Farrell.

There are some things that make this movie suck like how most of the special affects in this movie look so fake and sometimes the plot gets a bit stupid.

Overall this movie has some flaws but in the end this movie turns out to be OK.And my rating for this movie is 5 out of 10.
