Terrible abuse of good actors

Well, we all know the story. Kindly scientist takes a drug that turns him into a debauched killer. Been done a hundred times and there was no real good reason to do it again.

Tony Todd and Tracy Scoggins are good actors, but they are really abused here. Note to Ms. Scoggins. You are a mature, accomplished actress. You can stop taking these roles that should be going to 20 year-olds.

Todd fares little better. He seems to really be having fun doing the scenes as Hyde. His Jekyll seems to be subdued and not really into it.

Much of the plot seems contrived, especially the parts to get Jekyll/Hyde into the costume that we'd traditionally expect to see Mr. Hyde in. I don't even want to go into the ending, where Todd converts into an ape and becomes bulletproof.
