Review of Cerberus

Cerberus (2005 TV Movie)
6/10
Not bad for a Sci-Fi original
31 October 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is about the search for the sword of Attila the Hun, which will make it's possessor invincible. The bad guys consist of Greg Evigan (definitely NOT reprising his role from BJ and the Bear), and some North Korean general who left his country and is now trying to sell nukes on the open market. Evigan does a credible job as a semi-psycho ex-special forces soldier. The good guys are led by Sebastian Spence (Cade Foster from First Wave). He's a very welcome change from the usual Dean Cain or Lorenzo Lamas that the Sci-Fi Channel gets to star in their movies. Spence is assisted by a female scientist who's an expert in all things ancient, and a couple of other special forces types who more or less provide comedy relief.

Overall, a pretty good movie. A bit too much comic relief from the sidekicks, and the characters don't seem to take the situation all that seriously. But, the acting is good, the locations are nice, and the CGI isn't nearly as bad as a lot of Sci-Fi Channel stuff.

It kept me interested from beginning to end and didn't make me cringe or laugh at any unintentional humor. I'd recommend it to B-movie lovers.
