What a waste of my time!!!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Crappy film

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

As far as cheesy made for television genre movies with digital effects go, "Bugs" offers a decent enough diversion. It stars Antonio Sabato, Jr. as an FBI agent named Pollack who is on the trail of a serial killer. The trail leads him to a totally unrelated circumstance, that of enormous, bloodthirsty insects terrorizing a subway tunnel that is under construction. He teams with a sexy insect expert, Dr. Emily Foster (Angie Everhart) to save the day.'Bugs' has a pretty routine script, with routine and annoying characters for the most part. There is a pathologically greedy tycoon (Karl Pruner) who doesn't want ANYTHING to spoil his plans. This character is set up as being so reprehensible (and over the top) that you keep waiting for him to get his comeuppance. There's also a team of commandos, turned into chopped meat by the rampaging critters.Anybody watching will automatically peg this as a typical "Aliens" wannabe, hampered by the constraints of TV level budgeting, uneven CGI (but fairly well designed bugs), dumb dialogue, and some lame performances. Sabato is an extremely stoic hero, the kind of guy who only ever seems to have one expression on his face. Everhart is quite easy to watch, playing the kind of tough, capable heroine who has brains to match her hotness. Veteran Canadian character actor R.H. Thomson makes the most of his role as the hotshot who designed and built these tunnels. Horror buffs will enjoy seeing the lovely Lynne Griffin ("Black Christmas" '74, "Curtains") in a cameo as the Deputy Medical Examiner.Mildly thrilling at best, with a fortunately decent pace and short running time (if you watch it on DVD) that keeps it from being too painful.Five out of 10.

While creating a newer, faster subway system in New York, the developer accidentally awakens a centuries old evil - really, really big bugs. Now its up to a FBI agent and a doctor to bring an end to the carnage and terror that these prehistoric bugs present.The box cover said this was a Sci-Fi original movie, so I knew not to expect anything special going into it. Still, I was amazed at how poorly everything was done. They brought in the worst B-actors imaginable (Antonio Sabato Jr., Angie Everhart), threw in the lamest dialogue imaginable, and added a bunch of poorly constructed CGI bugs. Even for the Sci-Fi channel, this is a very lame outing.

While the film is as good as can be expected for one of "those" sci-fi channel flicks, the dialog seemed really bad. as the team is getting ready to take off, the leader tells the blond girl to stay behind, presumably to be safe. we are never told why, are they a secret couple? is she sick? pregnant? not that it matters, as she dies later on. as far as the other one, the hot red haired scientist. she states that the creatures are 65 million years old (yea, thats a popular number to sprout when dealing with monsters) and in the same sentence, states that they came from the Carbiniferous period, but that's over three hundred million years ago! Anyway, don't expect much and it'll be an okay film, especially when the cop goes all Rambo!

There is nothing remotely original about " Bugs" but while its ingredients are familiar ones they are served with economy and speed which makes it a passable time -filler . When a new underground railtrack is built through the heart of a mountain there is a consequence undreamed off by the builders -the tunnellling awakens a horde of prehistoric giant insects akin to the scorpion .They are hungry -and no wonder for they have slept for millions of years .They attack a train and make a meal of the passengers The authorities send in a SWAT team and an expert entomologist ( who just happens to be a strikingly beautiful woman ) along with a FBI agent and a company expert to drive the rescue train . The team is attacked and its numbers depleted ,and it is left to the bug lady ,the agent and a few others to battle to safety while striving to kill the creatures and deal with the head of the rail project who is intent on covering up the whole business even if it means killing the survivors of the rescue party . The acting might politely be described as functional and the writing is basic but some adequate special effects and a brisk pace compensate and there is fun to be had spotting the references to other better known pictures as for example Alien ,Mimic and Jaws Not bad at all
