Well this garbage and I didn't even get to be the end in its entirety: briefly; John Anderson Wade [Rutger Hauer:] is a shipping and business guy after being betrayed by someone he thought he could trust, he is now for revenge and his money.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 97 minute film is; well what you want me to say?; This film is completely boring, okay in theory the script may have been okay [it is of revenge;] but the execution of the project in its entirety is so, so poor. Because this project has very little get up and go to it I found myself falling asleep and okay you can clearly see this project has been produced on a budget.

Action and art; it is that kind of stuff that you associate with an action futuristic world to move things going on, the futuristic presentation; if I had to pick something to highlight as a positive would be this; there is clearly artistic visions being used here.

Character developments and performances; they are on both counts I would say reliable versions and solid performances of what they are meant to be,

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; yes I have highlighted some fragments of this film that are positives, but all together and I don't say this often; but this film is bad. It just seems to mash altogether with an outline of the script that should have worked with very little pace to that point where I kept falling asleep and eventually for whatever reason the film started jumping and then stopped so they may have missed about a grand total of seven minutes at the end; it was very much like the machine I watch these DVDs on was spitting this film out, because it was that bad. I mean if you like Hauer by all means check it out. But I would just recommend keeping your expectations incredibly low, so that you're not too disappointed.
