Intriguing premise, disappointing result

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2000)

I ran across this movie in the videostore and the unusual, intriguing premise caught my attention. Being a fan of low budget movies I rented it. However, I have to say that the movie did not live up to my expectations at all.
Inherent to its simplistic makeup is that the film solely rests on the characters and their relationships to one another. Unfortunately they all were awfully one-dimensional. The smart college girl, the evil tough guy, the cynic, the conspiracy theorist, and worst of all the retarded number genius- puh-lease!! On top of that the dialogue and actor performances were horrible.
