User Reviews

Was this something they tried to sell to Sci-Fi?

Because, honestly, it has those Sci-Fi Channel level aspects- No real violence, bad CGI monsters, poor acting. Inexplicable breaks in the action where someone would put a commercial.

The plot is that a group of soldiers in a post-apocalyptic world rob their warlord and flee into a forbidden forest where monsters dwell, pursued by the all-girl assassin squad. There's a battle at the beginning of the movie, which is where I suspect that they spent all the money.

Most of the film is spent on running in the forest, where they pretend to fight the bad CGI monsters and act impressed. Because the all-girl assassin squad wears masks, we don't get any range of emotion from them. The guys don't have any excuse at all.

Nothing anyone does in this movie makes a lick of sense, really.
