This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

In this fairly straight forward, but pretty well done action film, Michael Biehn plays a likable guy working in his own watch repair shop. He suffers from amnesia and soon his past is about to catch up to him. Predictably he wasn't a watch repair man is his "previous life" but a lethal assassin.The amnesia formula has been done many times, most notably with the blockbuster Bourne trilogy taken from Robert Ludlum's novels, but "Timebomb" has its merits. Michael Biehn is a good enough actor to play a convincing human action hero and the plot, while quite routine, delivers suspense and action. The mixing of science fiction into the film is also pretty interesting as it provides a few twists. However, there is enough cliché here to prevent this film from being anything special. Fans of the genre will enjoy it for what it is, others shouldn't even care to look. --- 6/10Rated R for violence and profanity. Ages 13+

POSSIBLE SPOILERS:The sound of this film intrigued me for some reason. I can't remember why. It's a bit like TOTAL RECALL: a guy discovers he may have lead another life as an assassin, but had his memory erased. Now that he has resurfaced, he is being chased by a team of assassins (including LOIS AND CLARK's Tracy Scoggins and Jim 'CYBERTRACKER' Maniaci). Michael Biehn is excellent in the lead, his performance not faltering for a minute. A man in his situation would be as terrified as he initially is. But he soon takes charge and tries to uncover his past, and stop the baddies before they can carry out their assassination attempt on the crusading new Attorney General.The action is brilliant as well, especially the showdown between Biehn and Mr. Brown (kickboxer Billy Blanks). Patsy Kensit is okay as the psychiatrist, even though at the time she was really too young to be a psychiatrist.Richard Jordan once again plays a really hateful bad guy, who you're just gonna want to see dead. The tension barely ever lets up. I must say that it's a pity that this one slipped through the cracks when it was released because it's very enjoyable. The 'conspiracy' storyline may not be original, but here it works. Try and get ahold of this one if you can.

All I can really say about this film is you must watch it for a complete goof when they shot this. at the end of the movie, there are 2 shots of people falling off the roof. in the 3/4 top down shot, watch the actors fall onto the blue stunt aig bag. You can't miss it, the actors even have time to get up off the matress.
