everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

An ex-special forces man down on his luck is programmed by a sinister medical group to assassinate a US senator. He starts to have nightmares before the event and begins to wonder what is wrong with him. It is a mix of 'The Manchurian Candidate' and 'Total Recall' but it is not bad at all. The plot is clear and apart from the rather weak ending it keeps one interested.This partly due to the acting. Michael Dudikoff is quite believable as the distressed hero. He is supported by a surprisingly good cast;Barry Newman, David Hedison ,Ian Ogilvy, Gil Gerard and Heather Langenkamp who are all effective in their roles. The low budget shows but the actors give a good account of themselves. The director Fred Olen Ray is no Orson Welles but this film is entertaining enough and certainly not a waste of time.

The plot follows a man who discovers he has been brainwashed to kill a government official. This film was very good. It is a well made thriller that doesn't seem like it got the kind of audience that it deserved. Yeah it does have some lacking parts but none the less still holds up pretty well. I actually didn't know this film existed until a friend told me about it and they loved it, so I just had to see it. It is a very underrated suspenseful film with a good story and some great performances from Michael Dudikoff, who I had never seen in a film before but really impressed me with this film. Also Heather Langenkamp, best known for the Nightmare On Elm Street films, did really well and she also impressed me by proving that she could be great as a drama film actress as well as a horror film actress.

This movie is Bad. It's an action/thriller with convoluted plot of evil scientists, implanted memories, and a political assassination. It's a pale imitation of "The Manchurian candidate" with a little bit of "Total recall" thrown in. I strongly suggest that you should watch those movies. If you have already seen them , then watch them again. Just don't waste your time on "Fugitive mind".The story allows Michael Dudikoff ("American ninja") to do a bit more acting that he has in the past. Dudikoff has always been a capable B actor and he proves it here. He isn't able to save the movie , because the plot sucks. The story is predictable and the action is terribly lame. The movie drags almost all the time and I was fast-forwarding it at few places. You won't be satisfied either if you're a thriller or action movie fan. It's a cheaply made movie that will satisfy only the most desperate and tasteless viewers. This is lame movie that isn't even "so bad , it's good". Don't waste your time. If you like Dudikoff better watch "American ninja" or "Avenging force". I give it 1/10.

This movie is bad. You knew it was bad before you came here. But check out the inconsistencies in the movie, they are hilarious. 1. The "car bomb" planted in the PI's car (Pontiac Firebird) actually blows up a completely different car (Buick Riviera), shown in a completely different location. Hey, I guess they were both red. Yay stock footage!2. Dudikoff is supposed to be a "special forces sniper" that was dishonorably discharged, but he has no idea (apparently) how to fight with a rifle. Watch the silly fight scene at the end.3. When the two evil scientists are "made to return him to normal" at the end of the movie, which is supposed to be months later, they are wearing the same clothing as when they were caught. For that matter, so is the Senator.4. The entire movie appears to be shot in someone's house. In one scene, you can clearly see the kitchen through an open doorway in the "research and laboratory facility"
