ONE LAST GOOD HAND

The horror, the horror . . .

I've never been a fan of horror films and let me start by saying that it's even less fun to be in one. The plot went like this, I boarded a bus for a three hour trip and the masochistic bus driver decides to put this piece of absolute toxic trash on the television. Let me tell you, on a bus there is nowhere to go, nowhere you can run to or hide. I was forced to watch this complete turkey or break a window and dive off of the bus . . . let me tell you, that was a tough decision.

The plot (what of it there is) has been summarised by others (some who actually seem to like this film). What I'd like to know is A) why are we supposed to believe that this is at all credible? I could believe in James Bond films before I could swallow this load of tripe! B) How did they talk Michael Caine into this? I mean, this film is even worse than Jaws IV (something I hadn't thought possible). C) Is surgery required to remove Seagal's sneer? D) Wouldn't blowing up the oil rig create more of an environmental catastrophe? No, this film is one of the worst. Why MrCranky.com hasn't hit on it is anyone's guess but for my money it's right up there with The Avengers, Alien Resurrection, Battlefield Earth and Buckaroo Bonzia. One of the very worst films I've ever seen.
