Give it a chance. It is watchable. If you are 12 don't even start it, it is the type of camp that absolutely repels 12 year old's of all ages. You kinda have to buy into the drama heart strings thing, ignore some of the really campy acting- not real bad, just a competent high schoolish type of acting.Very low budget but quite an attempt at a complicated script back when it cost actual imagination and film technique instead of todays fair to slick computer fx key punching.It is a story of redemption with a saccharine sweet ending but not for the kids due to over the top killings (though "clean", like back in the days of 'BANG' and people fall down with some fx, but not overly gory like a real shooting is).Almost a silly movie in some aspects, think TV show with this one. I gave it a 7 because it is a 4.something and deserves at least a 5.

Don't you just love tough movie broads? You know, the street-talking, wise-cracking, hard-drinking cop-kind that weigh about twenty pounds--twenty SKINNY pounds, and that's with a pocket full of rocks--but can still toss around guys three times their size? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy role-reversal about as much as the next guy. Unfortunately, the "macho-man with breasts" character rarely works--especially if she doesn't really HAVE breasts. Queen Latifah would have done better that this Beth Kennedy person, and for so many reasons.But even if you can get over the dime-store Dirty Harriet...sorry; this still isn't much of a flick. Way too heavy on the violins and melancholy piano scores, for one thing--in other words, schmaltz. And of course any science was just incidental, since all that continuum-twisting was just a device to advance the tear-jerking plot. But when the kid-grown-up-into-multiple-murderer meets same-kid-AS-a-kid, and starts acting all sensitive, like (wow!) A BETTER FATHER THAN THE ACTUAL FATHER...please.All right, there was a little humor. Like Corbin Bernson's line: "This is the future; this is SERIOUS!" And Mom the Elder was a real hoot, for the most part; kudos to Jeanne Cooper for that.But overall, I can't really give this bit of transparent PC misandry (look it up; but you better have a REALLY unabridged dictionary) more than four stars. And that's with a tail-wind.

Available on DVD in the UK.A complete surprise this one. I buy quite a few cheap DVD's and this was one of a few that I've had a couple of months and only just got round to watching. The cover and plot write up make this film sound like a low grade B-movie that should be consigned to movie hell BUT....Give it a go and you'll have a really entertaining 90 minutes. A good storyline with basic special effects but the undercurrents of 'how life can be' really make this movie.It does make you think and movies that do that are no bad thing.

I liked this movie, it had a great plot and an average direction. Maybe the direction was not that bad, it was a low budget film, therefore maybe that had turned down the chances to be a big hit. Fantasy/Sci-fi friends go for it, others, you're gonna spend a nice evening with it. In overall, 7/10.
