Absolutely the worst movie.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
View MoreThe thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
View MoreThis rating of seven stars is completely out of line with the rest of the reviews, but I'll explain why: This film is not a triple A title, and it should not be viewed as such. It is, however, a very blunt and daring bottom end B-movie, featuring the most 'iconic' 90's elements - international terrorists, cyber warfare, government conspiracy, plenty of 'action girls' (featuring nudity), poorly choreographed fighting scenes, - you probably get the picture. It's all spiced up by very 'original' camera techniques - sudden zooms, tilting to the left and to the right, rapid angle changes, mixing in military stock footage to spice up the 'tension', and some funky visual tricks. All in all this is a rather fun movie with decent pacing, but only for those seeking these kinds of b-action flicks.
View MoreTotal Force (1997)-Zero StarsDirected By: Steven Kaman (AKA: Sven Nuvo) Starring: Timothy Bottoms, Frank Stallone, Richard Lynch and a special appearance by Robert Z'dar"Total Force" is a total mess.The plot, if you can even call it such a thing, involves Dr. Edmund Wellington (Lynch) who has a super hi-tech Military weapon. Drake (Bottoms) is a tough soldier who only wants to drink beer and watch football, when he is not kicking and punching dudes. Frank Stallone joins the fray as Jack O'Hara, the swarthiest Irish gangster ever. O'Hara has his own reasons for pursuing Drake and it all comes to a head at a marina. Confusing, baffling, amateurish, incoherent, disjointed, irritating, and unexplainable are the nicest things we can say about this cinematic sludge that came directly from the sewer and into your VCR. Even the unannounced and sadly too brief appearance from the great Robert Z'Dar (as "Test Subject", doing his best "Incredible Hulk" impression) can't save this dreck.Timothy Bottoms, a dead ringer for George W. Bush, so much so that he was cast as the former prez in the TV Movie "D.C. 9\11: Time Of Crisis" AND in the short-lived sitcom "That's My Bush!" phones in his performance as Drake...but then again, wouldn't you? Frank Stallone should stick to his music career if he is going to appear in roles like this. Of course this is a movie that would be directed by a Sven Nuvo. You got to admit, it's a great cast, but they are under the shoddy direction of Nuvo, they are under-utilized.Most people couldn't sit through the whole thing, this is an insult to movie-making. Amazingly enough, there is a sequel!: "Absolute Force". I guess the story wasn't complete...and it may never be.Totally force yourself to watch this tonight!Comeuppance Review by: Ty & BrettFor more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
View MoreThis movie was absolutely terrible. In fact it has gained the honor of being the first movie we have ever decided to burn due to the total un-rewatchability (ignorance is the only reason for original viewing).First of all, Steven W. Kaman (aka Iven Nuvo, you aren't fooling anyone), what on earth were you thinking? I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall with the movie studio as you went over the plot of this movie. Kaman: "A mad scientist, will create an incredible weapon called the 'neurolator', things go wrong, special task forces and terrorist are called in, and then things blow up, and did I mention, the special task forces best friend is a talking pie?" Movie Studio "Kaman, you've done it again!"(sadly there was no actual talking pie)I really just wonder if Kaman (or anyone else associated with this movie) would show this movie to their friends or family and expect good reviews. I believe people make movies believing they are good, but the general public does not agree. I can't believe anyone involved with this movie could believe it was good at any point.We have watched many a bad movie, but this one has taken the cake (and vomits all over it with its crappiness).Truly atrocious. (Note to self, never have a security camera five). (Second note to self, build up sector 213 only to move to sector 214) (Third note to self, there is a sequel, BEWARE!)
View MoreAn unbelievably bad, amateur quality action/adventure film shot at the docks and warehouses of Long Beach, CA. Be sure to take some dramamine before watching this one, because the jerky camera style of filming is taken to new extremes. Standard terrorist / mad scientist / corrupt government officials (including the President) plot. Watch for the incredibly inappropriate use of NASA and Desert Storm stock footage. This film approaches Ed Wood in ineptness. Richard Lynch - your career is over.
