Trust me, watch this first before reading any critiques, especially by any sheepdip working for the NY Times... This Sci-Fi action flic has it all, and is over in a heartbeat thump, thump thump...Rutger Hauer, Kim Cattrall, Alastair Duncan and Satan headline with Pete Posthelwaite, Michael Pollard, Alun Armstrong in supporting roles. Lots of action, a little gore, some 90's style buddy cop laughs with a few tongue in cheek scares thrown in for just the right mix of memorable moments. Good direction and script keeps this semi-serious, futuristic dystopian creature flic moving along at a good pace. The SFX are well done, even when over the top for laughs. Rutger is great as usual, and the partner played by Alastair Duncan is well done. A true gem in the vein of Hobo with a Shotgun.
