This film was surprisingly well made, I was almost surprised at how decent it really was. After viewing the previews, I hate to say I really was not expecting all that much. The previews made it out to be one of those "made for video" films that somehow seeped through the cracks onto major theatrical distribution, but I am the first to admit how wrong I was. All in all, it really was a decent Highlander film. Much higher quality than the quickening, or final dimension (previous sequel theatrical releases). Although, I did think that the large amount of flashbacks began to become more the "meat" of the film than it should have been, it was still nice to see more elements of what the other films were missing (depth on characters), even if it was done in such a rash overabundance. Some of the acting was faltering at times, and Christopher Lambert in some of the flashback sequences does lose and regain his scottish accent more times than this movie changed titles before its release, but I wont pretend and whine about how they could have made a better film any more. I am glad this came out as good as it did. An admirable, and otherwise prominant addition to the series.

I recently obtained a rather low-quality version of this film under its alternate title, "30 door key". At first, I was not quite sure what to expect- seeing Crispin Glovers name on the opening credits and all, but I knew whatever it was going to be, at least it would be memorable. And it truly was, in the best most surreal of ways (I am a huge fan of all or most things in that dying surrealists view). This film focuses in the 1940's around a man, who is our main character, who has long since reached his adulthood, yet in the first five minutes of the film is visited by an old teacher of his, evoking long since buried feelings of misworth in his intimidating surity and presence. His old teacher as arrogant as he had chosen not to remember up until this point, repremands the main character into attending a re-education school of sorts, to learn to write and be mature- that everything he had worked towards was suddenly dismissed as a pipedream illusiory success (don't ask me, you have to dismiss belief for the primary of this film). He goes to a school filled with grown adult school children, where there are the bullys and the bullied, the ego competition just as in reality, only now over the most obscure lesser thought of practices. Crispin Glover plays an at first arrogant, but eventually likable anti-establishment man-boy who befriends the main character and acts as a catalyst to what the main charcter looks towards to get more in touch with the spirit of living, which was a more free reflection on his former self. Its all very difficult to explain in the strictest sense, but the movie goes on- and I will not spoil it for anyone- too many different points and twists to name here, but this was a very fun film to watch. All the performances are excellent, and I could not reccomend this film more. It sounds so forced typing it out, but I thought I should at least try, as my subjects title states. final word, all in all: I leave you with a great big huge "woo" to let it all settle in good with you.

Rocky with Pom-poms??? This movie is about cheerleaders fighting vs. cheerleaders in a war that seems to highlight race (which is especially cheap, even for hollyowood), naivity and...they brittney spears syndrome. I ask again...ROCKY WITH POM-POM'S?? Who paid you off to say that?! Or do you simply work for the studio....More like Judge Dredd with less appeal. I can't blame the studio for having free test screenings in Dallas and other Southern areas on this turkey just to *see* if they had even a *chance* at making maybe 200 dollars nationwide on this... this film will only appeal to the WWF "woohooo!" types so it seems. About as substantial as many other recent teen drama trash thats come out in the past two years. We are swimming in it, and it does not seem to be getting any better. What it is I cannot say, because in its vulgarity this will never be posted to the IMD. But you need not hear me actually state what it is. I think you know it, so essentially, there really is no need to see this movie at all.
