Right from the get go,I'll say say that this was yet another one of those movies that has a reasonably good plot that was let down by so many bad points from start to finish.
I'll start with the good points.
The Plot. I appreciate that in the movie world,coming up with an original idea that nobody else has thought of must be an extremely hard thing to do. This one seemed pretty original. It involves seedy Government/Business types sending the trash and unwanted population into an alternate reality/universe where our bounty hunter hero (Dresher) exists,making a living taking on jobs for an organisation called The Union.He gets hired to find a Father and his daughter who,unknown to him,have been sent from the other world.
I must point out at this point,it was unclear who's world was ours and who's was the alternate.
I won't go further into the story line but suffice to say,it was the ONLY good thing about this movie. Everything else was just plain bad from start to finish.The script,acting,editing,minimal sfx,music,all contributed to a pretty boring experience to be honest.
Lance Henriksen and Eric Roberts had very small roles to play,and in the very short time they had on screen,they showed just how superior their acting skills were compared to the rest of the cast.They stuck out by a country mile and showed everyone else how it's done. It's good to see they are not above playing roles in small budget movies,but I have to wonder if they were embarrassed having seen the final result of this production.
There are much better low budget movies of this genre out there. Only watch this one if you're having trouble sleeping.You'll be cured in 10 minutes.
