Tension 9 - Perhaps you may predict who is going to make it and who isn't, nevertheless many situations are guaranteed to deliver chills to your own heart.
Story 6 - A deranged high-tech wiz out of vengeance implants bombs into the pace-makers applied to Dr.Gillian(Penelope A Miller)'s patients. Task of the surgeon will, of course, be removing them before they explode, with the aid of an artificer (Judge Reinhold). Original idea (with so many crazy people around these days, I don't find it so absurd), although the fact that the killer is omniscient makes it unrealistic. I understand she is meant to look self-assured, however Penelope at the beginning does surgery like she is mixing salad.
Ending 6 - Ordinary
OVERALL 7 - Good high-paced movie with fast action and sharp dialogue; the first scene is recommended for those not yet convinced that cigarettes are bad for the health.
