Why didn't one of the 8 voters post a review so I could have avoided this one. Billed as a sci-fi flick about an escape artist, there's not much clever escape stuff, not much acting, not much plot, and lots of big holes in it anyway.
Although made on a low budget, this movie manages to have some good effects and suspenseful escape scenes. Daniels gets few chances to show off his awesome fighting skills, instead focusing on his performance.
It's a pretty sad to see a man wasting all those years and almost never able to see his daughter. But at least he gets to see her, even if she was old enough to be his mother.
The special effects when they come are handled well enough when they finaly come.The acting is very poor and in places makes you cringe.
The film chooses to be sci-fi and then it chooses to have melodrama as well? Doesn't work when there is little attention to acting, and the script is poor.
I want you to imagine for a moment. Imagine you are coming home from an evening out on the town with a friend, after having a few drinks together.
Gary Daniels stars as a spoiler, an escaped convict in a prison system that freezes it's criminals for years on end while bounty hunters and police are always two inches behind our wrongfully accused hero. Gary Daniels is rather impressive and the movie far exceeds the expectations you have of it.
I don't know what they intend to do with this little nugget of a short film in the future, but it holds a lot of promise. It is already pretty awesome as it is, and offers potential for great things to come in the future if the people who produced this decide to expand on the premise of this 15 minute submersion in a post zombie apocalypse world.
