Friends and I stumbled onto this title because we A) heard it was shot at the University of Illinois B)Was just awful C)had lots of helicopter shots and needless violence. Delivery- yes. As far as I can tell, all shooting was on the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign campus, as we could spot many public places in the scenes which have changed dramatically. Notably the chase in the parking garage, walking on a bridge which are the Presidential Towers (a local student housing), and the drug lord's mansion (the Japan House, a Japanese Cultural Center). For the most parts, it's a surprisingly good (at keeping suspense) for a low budget. Tire squeals on dirt, and fighting over $200 just adds to the fun. I specifically got the feeling that a large amount of the budget was supplied to destroy a car and use a helicopter, which many of the scenes reflect. If you have a case of beer and sadistic disposition- go for it.

Fun if you ever lived at the University of Illinois or made a movie with your friends. and are drunk. really drunk.
