Waste of Money.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

What's worse than this movie having an illogical ending? Where do I start? Could it be the Russian leading lady who only knows three reaction shots, and never once is she right on the reaction shot. The popular Russian Leading man who aspires to be next Van Damme/Schwarzeneggar despite the fact very few people in Russian have heard of him? Or is it the veteran US actors, Zane, Davi, Divoff and Tyson who look and act as if they are doing this film for a quick paycheck? Who knows? Oh Billy! How could you? If anybody can explain the ending, please feel free to explain it to me. You might be glad you did.

We signed up for an IMDb account just so that we could malign this wretched movie. Terrible doesn't even begin to describe it: abysmal comes much closer! We must apologize to our DVD player for inflicting this upon it, and possibly need an exorcism on our television. No, we're not exaggerating, it really was that bad and we don't want it to infest our other viewing choices! Billy Zane should be violated by hordes of angry cannibals for agreeing to act in this movie. There are STDs more pleasant than this movie. Paying the rent cannot be as important as professional pride. This movie was akin to audio/visual gonorrhea. Now, it burns when I stare.Now, we are aware that some people trash movies in hyperbolic fashion just for fun. This is not the case. This was every bit as awful as we have portrayed. The acting was outright horrible. Estelle Raskin & Alexander Nevsky had 2 of the main 3 roles (Zane had #3). When 66.6% of your movie couldn't act hurt if shot with live ammo, you are basically skiing uphill. Zane must have gazed upon the acting putrescence across from himself, uttered "F#$% it, it's a paycheck!" & fetched the strongest drink available on set, remaining internally pickled until well after post-production.Honestly, the only pleasure we got from watching this was giving it the "MST3K" treatment. For instance, we are convinced Raskin is the abandoned love-child of William Shatner & Leo Tolstoy's corpse. Problem is, Shatner has charisma, ergo is entertaining. Raskin obviously got her monotone "charisma" from the corpse.

While I didn't expect a great movie,I had no idea it would be this bad. With good actors like Robert Davi,Andrew Divoff,Billy Zane and even Armand Assante you can't go wrong can you. And to be fair it isn't their fault. For the most part they are quite adequate. But why on earth didn't they have the main parts in this movie. A Russian body builder turned actor who has no acting ability whatsoever has the lead.Are you kidding me? And what was up with the story? Somewhere hidden in the plot there is a murder mystery that in it self looked pretty promising. A killer that cuts people in half in such a way that it can't be explained.Maybe I was hypnotized during the movie or something like that since it never got explained how it was done. We'll only find out who the killer is. Which is pretty obvious from the start without even having seen the movie. The biggest WTF moment to me was when the movie ended. A cast with names like these at least deserve good writing and better directing. AVOID!

I watched this because I like Billy Zane, Armand Assante, and haven't seen them in a while. I know Billy hasn't been up for any Oscars that I'm aware of, but he's got a style I like in Titanic, Demon Night, the Sniper movie, he's not bad and I'm a fan. Armand Assante on the other hand has had some Oscar worthy performances in his career. The main detective on the case is this is Robert Davi, he's pretty good too. This is something that they are all going to want to have permantly deleted from their resume's. This sucked in a way I would not have thought possible from even low end talent, much less what they have to work with here. Lifetime movies look like Oscar winnings compared to this crap. The script was written by a third grader I think, and they probably let him direct it too. Who ever is responsible for this should not just be kicked out of Hollywood, he should be taken behind the woodshed and given a good beating. I am just sorry to say they have a minimum vote of 1 star, because this didn't even deserve that.
