This film begins with "President Stackhouse" (Jeffrey Wayne Smith) of the United States holding a press conference to discuss an international crisis between America and China. Several press conferences later a nuclear war has begun and President Stackhouse is taken by helicopter to a secure command bunker in an isolated part of the country. In this bunker with him are approximately 200 other men and women which include several military and intelligence officials knowledgeable of a strange situation which occurred in the Balkans not too long ago that involved a conflict in which a large number of Croatian soldiers were killed by an unknown adversary. This particular incident becomes especially relevant due to several murders suddenly taking place within this command bunker which bears a striking similarity to the way in those Croatian soldiers were also killed. And nobody knows who-or what-is behind these savage murders. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had a pretty good plot but the low production values seriously undermined the overly-ambitious project which consisted of elementary graphics, bad acting, awful action scenes and extremely basic costumes and sets. In short, everything about this movie was just plain awful and for that reason I cannot honestly recommend it to anybody.

I understand the concept of low budget, BUT...

I understand the concept of low budget but there are certain things that can be done within the constraints of a low to non-existent budget to make a film something worthwhile, unfortunately this is not one of those.
I'm not sure where to begin with this review.
Did ANYONE in this movie actually study acting or were they recruited simply because they were willing to do it for food? The script must have been written by an 8th grader because the dialogue was lame and when it wasn't cheesy it was just unbelievable.
If you don't have the budget to do proper special effects, write around them. I honestly believe that the special effects in this movie were done poorly on purpose because I refuse to believe that the scene in the chopper could be that poorly crafted by accident.
Half the time I was watching this my mouth was hanging open in shock and the other half I was laughing because it was so bad.
As a potential viewer, I challenge you to get more than 10 minutes into thing before you turn it off and when you DO turn it off please say, "He warned me, I can't say he didn't warn me."
