Goofs

During the fight scene between Bannon and Waters, the editor used the exact same sequence from two different camera angles. In a close shot the actors take a few swings, then Waters connects knocking Bannon down, then the two start to wrestle on the ground. The exact same scene is shown from a mid-range shot.

Terrible, except for one thing.....

...or person, that is. I watched only to see the beautiful Danica McKellar. Grown up now and looking fine in swimwear, but even that can't rescue a poorly produced film. The special effects are so fake looking I suspect first year film students can do better. I didn't expect much more, a made-for-SyFy Channel movie gave me what I imagined. Danica is worth far more than this, and I hope she eventually gets roles that showcase her talent, not just her looks. Heck, cast her as a math wizard model in some hybrid story...she is a true math wizard, and I just hope she doesn't need crap like this to balance her checkbook. I'd have given it one star, but the added star is for Danica :)
