Positive if not slightly sarcastic, 16 January 2002
Author: Brett Howell (bretthome@firstsubscriber.com) from London, England

This film is hilarious from the very first scene, which not only uses the same plot as that of Terminator 2 and the attack on the Cyberdyne building, it goes as far as actually using the real footage!!!

The film is a great laugh, not at all because of the very poor screen writing and appauling acting, but because it seems to have tried to compress every action movie into one. The plot is that of Die Hard, one guy on the inside against an overwhelming force of terrorists, and of course the guy has a grudge against the world for past problems.

But to top it all off the penultimate scene is once again not only the same as that of Universal Soldier, but they actually used the real footage! Again!

3 Films in one.

I recommend watching this just for the sheer hilarity, oh and the two really attractive women, Lori Loughlin, and another nice blonde who appears to be wearing the worlds shortest skirt.

Finally if this isn't a spoof, then the director and producers should seek mental guidance.
