It's AWFUL, a nothing, plotless "film"!!! And I can't take the female lead seriously when she spends the whole movie moping around, staring, breathing loudly, and talking like a 900-number operator. Someone in the production CLEARLY had a girlfriend they wanted to show off. But at least they could have made her interesting and believable! It's insulting to give a woman that kind of role and then just make her act like a model. They barely bother to fake being interested in having her appear believable. Dolph Lundgren, the only reason I watched, sleepwalked through it.
Where is the story? Where is the plot? Where is the point?? Altogether absent! This wouldn't even be suitable for a 30-minute TV episode. I'm actually offended by how pointless it all is, and I tend to enjoy a lot of random, low-budget films, so I have a high tolerance for schlock. But this isn't even to that standard! The only reason it's worth even a star is 1. That Dolph is nice to watch despite his limitations (I really like him, but he's never been charismatic-the closest he ever got for me was Universal Soldier, and his role was a psychopathic mass murderer who wore the ears of his victims, so...) and 2. The early-to-mid-90s Cinemax-like track that just made me want to watch Strange Days.
I'm not even gonna touch on what "happens" in the "film" because it's offensively non-existent. This movie had to have been a tax write-off or a money laundering scheme.
