When one sets a film in the future, one generally sets it ten or more years in the future. This one sets it two years in the future, a future where they replace real police officers with what is essentially bounty hunters who for the most part do not wear sleeves! There are also places for this cops to congregate and see boobs! Well, that sure is futuristic! In the end, just a low budget film that is entertaining enough to watch, but has absolutely no logic within its frames.

The story has a particular future force cop show off what a bad ass he is by taking down a dude that is wanted with a revolver. Then he takes down two more dudes who have numerous parking violations with one of those Nintendo power gloves and it shoots lasers! Such a strange addition to the movie as no one else has anything like it and it is literally the only thing in the film that could be considered futuristic, but then it is only set two years in the future so it is kind of too futuristic. Well two dudes crush a dude and run the cops or something and a news reporter says on the news she is going to run the tape to expose him so this guy and his goon set a bounty on the girl that the main man played by Robert Caradine intercepts so that he may get the reward. He ends up trying to protect the girt as something is just not right with the case.

A lot of things in this film just are off and make no sense as you watch such as the part where Caradine takes the woman into the bar with all the other cops. Didn't he figure they would be after the girl too? Then there is the scene at the end where the tech dude sets it up for the owner of the company to be arrested and he gets gunned down; however, if he owns the company wouldn't that mean that no one is getting paid? Lots of illogical things like that going down in this hard boiled future! Okay, more like lightly poached future.

So this film was not that great, but it was mildly amusing to watch. Caradine looks like he is hammered in many of the scenes and I imagine he really did not want to do this film. Most of the action scenes involve him and the reporter parking in a random alley and waiting to be attacked and the strip bar had some really nice looking ladies within. Too bad near the end it gets a bit boring as we get a lousy final showdown and poor tech boy gets gunned down without a single tear shed...
