...but the few reviews here are mostly positive, so I don't have to this time. I liked this film, but I'm a 50's sci-fi nut. Interesting cast, yes, and I agree with most of the other comments...
However, the film would have been more sci-fi-ish, and more interesting, if they had done something with the guy other than rub a little dirt on his face and tossle his hair. All we get is a crushed cigarette case, lightweight Supermanesque bullet shots, and apparently (though it's not explicit) some extra strength. And, yes, he survives a shock. It just needed more....something....anything.
A very good B-/C+ light sci-fi film that mostly reaches its owns limited goals, and is fun to watch. Probably was born as a script for a straight gangster film, and then adapted to sci-fi (just guessing).
