Advantages: Cheap to buy
Disadvantages: Terrible special effects; weak plot

This film was originally released in 1983 and the makers tried to make it more exciting by using the then new "3-D" special effects. Hence the film did reasonably well at the box office as cinemas filled with people wearing silly red and green glasses. However, this novelty, which doesn't even work on the small screen, is its one redeeming feature. Not even the fact that Dennis Quaid is in it helps! The basic plot is that Michael Brody (Dennis Quaid) ...

Advantages: good cast
Disadvantages: bad script

"You know that saying that you can't smell vodka, well it's not true!" Ok, so I know it was meant to be cheesy and the critics slated it, but I also knew it had Keanu Reeves and Hugh Laurie, and guess what, Keanu and Hugh won out! So take the talented cast comprising of the hughely successful Keanu Reeves, the fabulous Hugh Laurie (I'm biased - I worship him as House!), Forest Whitaker, add in a whole host of other instantly familiar actors such ...
...Corbett, the list goes on. There were barely two or three actors in this film I didn't recognise, better still, most of them I liked from their other roles. Sounds good right? Wrong! Give this great cast a whole host of cliched lines, a script that has been regurgitated from every cop movie ever made, and you end up with a movie that seems to be lacking of even one original thought. The Synopsis Keanu Reeves is veteran LAPD cop Tom Ludlow who ... Read review
