Truly Dreadful Film

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Fantastic!

An action-packed slog

Why do I watch these things? In the forlorn hope that they might turn out to be better than I know they are going to be.See, the acting and script may be OK (well, let's be honest, generic baddie is over the top and down the other side), but there are these two things to consider...One is the gore. There's quite a lot of it and it is utterly unconvincing. This is probably not a bad thing. However...The second is Cerberus himself. Cerberus is, I'm afraid, downright bad. Bad CGI of a bad design animated badly and integrated badly into background plates. It would have been more convincing if they had used a giant cardboard cutout (and I have a feeling that, in some scenes, they may have done just that).Because the film is actually named after its least successful - by which I mean completely unsuccessful - element, the verdict must be "failure."

If nothing else I have to hand it to the creators of Cerberus who managed to mix the religions and legends of several cultures into one wild modern day plot.Cerberus of Greek mythology as we know is the guardian of the Underworld or Hell as we call it. It seems as though back in the day or back in another day, Attila the Hun made a deal with old Scratch for an invincible sword which is said to be buried with him. But his resting place is both lost to history and is guarded by Cerberus lest someone else get Attila's invincible sword.Well now a renegade North Korean general with a resemblance to Fu Manchu is played by Garret Sato wants the sword. It's all he needs to start on his road to world conquest. He hires an American mercenary in Greg Evigan to help get the magic blade, but the Evigan starts getting ideas of his own.You need an archaeologist with a working knowledge of the Balkan legends to help find Attila's grave so that's where Dr. Emmanuelle Vaugier comes in. They kidnap her brother on the pretext of a gambling debt so she comes along. And Evigan has some US Army Special Ops folks looking for him headed by Sebastian Spence. They all meet up with that nasty three headed Cerberus in, where else, Transylvania.It's imaginative, but in the end Cerberus is still utter claptrap. They should have left the poor beast alone with the Hercules series.

The film is about when Zach Gaines is kidnapped by Kul Jae Sung, his sister, Samantha Gaines, has to team up with bad guys to get him back to help them get a sword from Romania, since they stole the breastplate. Jake Addams and Burke chase them down and find her, it is revealed he is the man that Samantha talked to about Cerberus. Meanwhile, Marcus Cutter give Kul Jae the breastplate, then another bad guy Max is killed by two dogs, meanwhile, they get Zach and go to Romania to get the sword first, they get it, Cerberus, a three headed dog from hell, attack them and kills Burke. They escape while Marcus gets the sword for Kul Jae, when he returns at a town, he takes over a shop and kills the manager, holds the wife hostage until Kul Jae and two men come for the sword. He says he wants to keep it and slices Kul Jae's head off, kills the men while Samantha, Zach and Jake go to the village when the villagers start to put chairs ant tables and light them on fire, Cerberus kills teens camping out, and leaps over the fire, kills some villagers, while Jake and Marcus fight over the sword, Zach is thrown through a shop window and Jake throws Marcus off a building and gets eaten by Cerberus, he tosses the sword down to Samantha, who tries to get it, but Cerberus tail, which is a snake, pulls her away, while Jake stabs Cerberus in the head, who dies, and is transported back to hell. then, Zach walks over to him they hug and walk away. I give this film a A- you will like it!

This movie is about the search for the sword of Attila the Hun, which will make it's possessor invincible. The bad guys consist of Greg Evigan (definitely NOT reprising his role from BJ and the Bear), and some North Korean general who left his country and is now trying to sell nukes on the open market. Evigan does a credible job as a semi-psycho ex-special forces soldier. The good guys are led by Sebastian Spence (Cade Foster from First Wave). He's a very welcome change from the usual Dean Cain or Lorenzo Lamas that the Sci-Fi Channel gets to star in their movies. Spence is assisted by a female scientist who's an expert in all things ancient, and a couple of other special forces types who more or less provide comedy relief.Overall, a pretty good movie. A bit too much comic relief from the sidekicks, and the characters don't seem to take the situation all that seriously. But, the acting is good, the locations are nice, and the CGI isn't nearly as bad as a lot of Sci-Fi Channel stuff.It kept me interested from beginning to end and didn't make me cringe or laugh at any unintentional humor. I'd recommend it to B-movie lovers.
