I love sci-fi and am willing to put up with a lot. Sci-fi movies/TV are usually underfunded, under-appreciated and misunderstood. I tried to like this, I really did, but it is to good TV sci-fi as Babylon 5 is to Star Trek (the original). Silly prosthetics, cheap cardboard sets, stilted dialogues, CG that doesn't match... | 0neg | I love sci-fi and am always on the look-out for something fresh and exciting, especially when the film is something which hasn't been done before....<br /><br />This film is a bit disjointed, with some scenes just plodding along when it could have been developing something further.<br /><br />However, all the actors gi... | I love sci-fi and am in my 40s but this movie is too dumb to watch. There is a plot. OK. It's hard to say how it's done and there are some scenes that show off the acting abilities of Billy Zane. But overall, it's a waste of movie time. And with that, if I ever had the urge to rent another sci-fi movie to watch, I woul... |
Worth the entertainment value of a rental, especially if you like action movies. This one features the usual car chases, fights with the great Van Damme kick style, shooting battles with the 40 shell load shotgun, and even terrorist style bombs. All of this is entertaining and competently handled but there is nothing t... | 0neg | Worth the entertainment value of the story to see what a couple of actors like this must have been like at the beginning of their careers. It is obvious that their talent was already known to the producer and cast the moment they were hired. They must have been like a breath of fresh air for the studio. You almost feel... | Worth the entertainment value of seeing Richard M. Ziman in person. He was the best at describing the history of rock and roll and what went on behind and in front of the scenes from 1955 to 1974.<br /><br />Ziman's own autobiography of his experiences are a big part of it as he was at almost every event during this ti... |
its a totally average film with a few semi-alright action sequences that make the plot seem a little better and remind the viewer of the classic van dam films. parts of the plot don't make sense and seem to be added in to use up time. the end plot is that of a very basic type that doesn't leave the viewer guessing and ... | 0neg | its a totally average film<br /><br />i really dont know what the hell about how this even got made<br /><br />some movies have 30 people involved and they still sucked<br /><br />i like the idea of the movie and the acting was alright<br /><br />i just dont know this movie its just to long there was a long part of not... | its a totally average film and the acting is good as long as you do not expect it to be a top notch. i really cant think of a worse film than the one and only "Crap" but there are other bottom ten films i remember so i'll tell you about this one. it has a very weak plot and a weak script but its only average acting and... |

First off let me say, If you haven't enjoyed a Van Damme movie since bloodsport, you probably will not like this movie. Most of these movies may not have the best plots or best actors but I enjoy these kinds of movies for what they are.

I had high hopes for this one until they changed the name to 'The Shepherd : Border Patrol, the lamest movie name ever, what was wrong with just 'The Shepherd'. This is a by the numbers action flick that tips its hat at many classic Van Damme films. There is a nice bit of action in a bar which reminded me of hard targe... | 0neg | I had high hopes for this movie when reading the plot summary but I soon got so lost that I wanted to get my money back.

Isaac Florentine has made some of the best western Martial Arts action movies ever produced. In particular US Seals 2, Cold Harvest, Special Forces and Undisputed 2 are all action classics.

It actually pains me to say it, but this movie was horrible on every level. The blame does not lie entirely with Van Damme as you can see he tried his best, but let's face it, he's almost fifty, how much more can you ask of him? I find it so hard to believe that the same people who put together Undisputed 2; arguably t... | 0neg | It actually pains me to write this because it's something a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

Technically I'am a Van Damme Fan, or I was. this movie is so bad that I hated myself for wasting those 90 minutes.

This flick is a waste of time.I expect from an action movie to have more than 2 explosions and some shooting.Van Damme's acting is awful. He never was much of an actor, but here it is worse.He was definitely better in his earlier movies. His screenplay part for the whole movie was probably not more than one page of stu... | 0neg | This flick is a waste of my time. I really don't get the point of it, but I have to admit that it is very well made. The acting was average, but the music and effects were fantastic.

But still, I like all the actors, and they should stop making this kind of rubbish. I think Robert Englund is perfect in "Hellraiser" role (for example) but he should give up on more of those boring TV-movies. They have no horror and they have no suspense. There is not ... |
Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), was a decent film, but I have a few issues with this film.

Now, I LOVE Italian horror films. The cheesier they are, the better. However, this is not cheesy Italian. This is week-old spaghetti sauce with rotting meatballs. It is amateur hour on every level.

Low budget horror movie. If you don't raise your expectations too high, you'll probably enjoy this little flick.

The most positive points in this film were the credits (text style) and some moments in Ice-T's acting. The story-line; two rival gangs having to fight it out, with the sub-plots of betrayal, power and change are well worn plots but in this case painful(very) to wade through. The decrepit scenery, which added slight be... | 0neg | The most positive points in the series were the characters Mr Darcy and Miss Bingley. My favorite character? Definitely Mr Luntley.

The only reason this movie is not given a 1 (awful) vote is that the acting of both Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan is superb.

Artificial melodrama with a screenplay adapted by Mel Dinelli from his play "The Man" concerns a boarding-house proprietress taking in a troubled handyman who may be homicidal.

Wow, what an overrated movie this turned out to be! It was supposed to be "an extremely suspenseful tale of a crazed killer holding a woman hostage and in terror in her home."

I can't believe the high marks people have given this film on this site.

Seeing the title of this movie "Stupid Teenagers Must Die" made me believe this was a spoof of some kind. I discovered later on the original title was "Blood and Guts".

Okay, so it was never going to change the world, and it bombed at the box office, but Honky Tonk Freeway is one of those films I fell in love with as a child (the BBC showed it a few times during the 1980s and I happened to have a high quality VHS tape in the machine - lucky, that!) and watched endlessly.

A sprawling, overambitious, plotless comedy that has no dramatic center. It was probably intended to have an epic vision and a surrealistic flair (at least in some episodes), but the separate stories are never elevated into a meaningful whole, and the laughs are few and far between. Amusing ending, though.

In my humble opinion this is the worst musical ever made. Bad acting, bad direction, bad editing, bad everything. The characters are two dimensional. The music is trite and without meaning.

1983's "Frightmare" is an odd little film. The director seems to be trying to combine the atmosphere of classic '30s/'40s style horror movies with the shock factor of the then-exploding '80s slasher genre.

I caught this on IFC last week and I thought it was typical of the indie short subject film: heavy on style, little on substance and originality.

A rather lame teen slasher from Brisbane. While the plot hinges on a fairly decent idea, the writing is profoundly lame and two of the three main teens are absurdly wooden.
