I liked it. yes, the budget's a little low for what they were trying to do, but there are some good themes in this you wouldn't normally expect from a movie of this kind. Nice twists and turns, a creepy paranoid vibe and (at least from what I got), a timely message about the dangers of people becoming sheep. how fitting given the current state of the world. It also doesn't hurt that Elizabeth Berkely is easy on the eyes.

yes, i enjoyed this sci-fi film but you definitely have to be in a forgiving mood to enjoy this. shades of "Them" here and you'll simply love the "posse" when they come into the film. the actors give it their all and you can't ask for more than that.

It appears that the only way we can get the truth out about the Paradox of Evil the United States has become is to package it as a movie. The Government of the United States is treating its citizens as bags of popcorn by microwaving them to keep them from speaking out.

It has been a while since I have watched this movie but reading some of the other reviews I have to agree that the movie has a lot of flaws. But, then again, the idea that under the circumstances if people could be controlled by such experiments there would be no way to stop someone else from doing the experiment again. It would thus always be a threat and impossible to stop assuming the technology is there and plausible. It reminds me of a lab in northern California in the 70's which claimed to have a suicide ray. Once directed on an area of a city or town it allegedly caused massive painful depression in the occupants living in the area resulting in massive suicide. Given studies done which seem to show low frequency electromagnetic radiation can affect one's psych in adverse ways and evidence in which the military has been experimenting with non-destructive radiation which is said to cause the enemy to become demoralized I would have to conclude it may be possible. Thus if my information sources are accurate the movie achieved it's objective which is the impossibility of future generations to avoid the continuation of mind control experiments on the population.

I picked up this movie with a number of other SciFi Channel releases and this one is not worth the time taken to view it,the plot is full of holes,for example why doesn't the director of the covert op need a helmet like his troops to protect his brain from being controlled.The redemption of Karen (the wife)is totally unbelievable as is the participation of the street gang who just happen to want to fight the government,and to top it off most of the acting is second rate,probably because the actors found the script as trying as I did.

Truck dumpster go and stop until they jumped out from the window and fell behind truck's garbage then it go. How did they know that truck dumpster is going to stop and wait for them to jumped in?
