Low budget catastrophe that somehow managed to get some talented actors (Coburn, Biehn) and Nick Cage who deserves a category all his own.
Story is hum drum, been there, seen that, but what makes this worth a cursory look is the over the top, scenery chewing, regurgitation, and repeat swallowing of every scene that Cage is in. I believe that high school actors would have used much more restraint that Mr. Cage. Hey Nick, more is not necessarily better, take it down about a thousand notches. What is frustrating is that Cage is capable of much better. The rest of the film is totally boring, performances by Biehn and Coburn are ok. Kinda cool to see small roles for Mickey Dolenz and Clarence Williams, III.
