3.0 out of 5 stars
Kurtzman a good make up artist, but not so good director., June 7, 1999
By A Customer
Robert Kurtzman, Horror make up extrodinare, (From Dusk Till Dawn)did this movie on the cheap. REAL CHEAP. And if it were not for the bad screenplay and some lousy performances, we could have had gem (action movie wise. But as it turns out, it is just another B Grade action exploitation flick with bad lines and lousy acting to boot (CROW 2 anyone?) An interesting take on the formulaetic story following the Batman \ ROBOCop Comic book style that doesn't break new ground, but is has some interesting in jokes (Inmates reading "FANGORA" magazine, Jack Nance as a priest, etc.) If Nicole Eggert had a good script with good lines, this would have been an almost original character. How it happens, however, She is just another mundane superhero with big guns and a cool bike. Great costume and sets though. If George Clooney played the bad guy and Quentin Tarantino gave the script a once over, it may have been a better flick. But I am a mere movie geek, so I am dreaming here. To sum up, this movie deserves kudos for being made on the budget it was given, but the script and actors (Nicole Eggert and Jack Nance not included) drag the movie through the mud.
