Utterly Base-less...
21 September 1999 | by PeoplesBadmash – See all my reviews

A futile attempt at making a movie. In other words, the perfect manifestation of how a movie must never EVER be made. EVER.

I've never been a pure action-movie man or a Dacascos fan.. infact, after watching this laborious waste of time & money, I doubt I ever will too!

Take a hint. Let this one go by silently.

Oomph!-meter (from 5): [what?! are you kidding?!]
