Good concept, poorly executed.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Vast majority who reviewed this movie caught it on DVD, so they do not have the unique perspective I have viewing it via Netflix Streaming. Ms Henstridge was between the ages of 21 and 22 during the filming of this movie, still had a better than average figure particularly a nice tight tush. During the filming of the movie Impact somewhere between 2007 and 2008 when Ms Henstridge was between the ages of 33 and 34 her Gluteus Maximus was far from firm. First review posted which I conclude is like a benchmark review, because it asks stupid questions like did you find this review helpful. No system for rating movies is helpful especially since most are rated and reviewed by idiotic children between the ages of 10 and 32, yes you heard me correctly. People in the preceding mentioned age range have no taste when it comes to what true artistic cinema is, all today's movie goers care about is Special FX, when you have no talent hacks rehashing old movies, even using stupid plots to explain why things are so much different than the original (i.e.) J.J. Abrams and his bastardization of Star Trek, reply to Abrams and his mindless ST fans, Star Fleet Temporal Police, yes Star Fleet had them and they would have corrected any changes in the time line, being their vessels existed outside the time/space continuum, Temporal shields I believe.. Do not know who wrote the first review I read, but cut Natasha a break, so Species did fairly well a year earlier, but you could not refer to her character who spent far more time removing her clothes and using her body to seduce than reciting lines from a script as the star. In Species the plot focused as much on MIchael Madsen and Marg Helgenberger's characters and had far more lines, Ben Kingsley, Forest Whitaker and Alfred Molina also had more dialog. My point being cut her some slack, Lambert though he already was a star, he was not compelled to accept a role in such a poorly written movie. 1 last note, what the hell was the deal with the police cars with the word Policia on them, was not the plot of the movie suppose to have been within U.S. borders?

Maybe this was the thesis of the director (title: "make a movie using everything you have already seen in other claustrophobic movies"). ALL stereotypes of claustrophobic movie are present. And NOTHING more. It lacks: plot, dialogues, characters (I mean characters that resembles human beings)... Cops act as fearless brainless heroes or coward chicks. The "enemy" seems a sniper genius until five minutes before the end. Then he turns in a dumb stupid sub human villain. It seems the the "plot" was added with glue (and written by a baby), and anyway at the end something seems unclear. Only one thing is not negative: fast pace movie. The first 10 minutes can let you think it's a good movie. Do not trust them ;)

It would be unfair to comment that Adrenalin is boring at all. Although it was a low budget Pyun film, it has its moments. Although I watched the movie on TV, I still got some excitement. Not bad as a B grade thriller for mediocre audience like me! One thing I am still confused about, in the beginning of the movie it reads "Romania, western Europe", but the movie trailer says it is Boston.Another plot hole of the film, to me, is if the guy who was infected by a virus something like rabies, seems to be sane and very intelligent. How could he be so clever and retain his mental composure? He was supposed to be delirious or in coma instead. I don't think the writer cared about this details. 3 out of 10, for the sake of the face value of Lambert, my icon.

Although this movie probably had only a small budget it definatly does not look tacky.The sets and custume's are simple and effective,the cast is good and christopher lambert looks and acts well. the film is basicly one long chase seen, which means that the 77 minute run time does not seem short, although an extra half an hour would have been usefull to give more explonation to the whole story Also it looks like the end has been cut short, which leaves you thinking how it really should of ended. My one major problem with this film is there is to much suspence and not enough action. The seen where christopher lambert gets shot is quite impressive, its worth watching this film just for that seen.Over all this is a good low budget movie, which could have been very good if they had not cut short the ending.
