Truly abysmal
Matters get to a great start in this at least with some nice special fx work depicting the inception of a war in space – Great say I and I was immediately filled with high hopes…..but it was sadly not to be for any initial positivity was subsequently dashed horribly upon sitting through this to the end. Frankly, this film is a mess; Irritating characterisations, a story that goes nowhere and poor action sequences do not a good movie make!

Both main stars, Howell and Piper are utterly wasted in their roles although the latter at least does appear to be enjoying his role somewhat whilst the supporting cast are made up of infuriating oddities such as an annoyingly voiced priest/bookie, David Carradine as a psycho ventriloquist(!) and an annoying soldier who spends half the film beating up on his subordinates.

There’s really very little to say about this film in fact other than to avoid it – it’s ninety or so minutes better spent on the toilet if you ask me.

Howell should be ashamed of himself for this one
First of all, let me start by saying that I have been a devoted follower of C Thomas Howell’s career ever since “The Outsiders” and “The Hitcher”. He was an up and coming star in the 1980s – with hits such as “Soul Man” also. The future was bright for this young actor and he had the potential to go on from there and really assert himself in Hollywood. Put it this way – Tom Cruise had a bit part in “The Outsiders” while Howell had the lead. Look at Cruise today !!! But picking material like this drivel will only denigrate Howell’s career even more – if that was possible. Why does he pick stuff like this? A small part in a major movie would be of more benefit to him than this rubbish.

Essentially the story here takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where everybody lives underground where chaos reigns. Howell is a Shepherd – protecting the flock of various religious leaders by killing off any undesirables. He’s a hit-man in other words.

The sets are so bad, they wouldn’t look out of place on a Thunderbirds episode. The use of slow-motion needlessly repeats itself throughout the movie but is well backed up by bad acting (and bad is a kind word here), no continuity, scenes that are thrown in for no reason whatsoever, vehicles that looked like they were made from a Corn Flakes box and a directorial style that bordered on stupidity. Oh yeah, and the storyline was pathetic too.

I hate writing bad reviews about films – especially those in which I really like the star – but this film is so bad I don’t believe for one second that anyone could have been proud of it. I am not a filmmaker nor am I a director but I would hide my head in the sand if I’d spent whatever amount of money and time on this movie.

In short – this was a monumental waste of time and energy and I would not recommend anyone to EVER see this film. It came free with a DVD player I bought but I still turned the thing off halfway through because I was embarrassed for Howell. Come on C – give yourself some credit and wrestle yourself away from these non-hit wonders and try to knuckle down and get a good part – however small.

1/10 – and only because there is no setting for 0/10.
