C**p Rarely Seen...CRS

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2000)

This was one of the god-awlfulist films I've ever seen. I had to stay and watch it just to see just how really bad it was. A mish-mash of "James Bondesque" chases and scenarios seen a thousand times before in better films. It's a TOTAL RECALL ripoff with Michael Douglas in the Arnold role, 'cept ya never leave planet earth. Douglas is given a birthday present of an elaborate cat & mouse game courtesy of his little brother Sean Penn. Everybody is suspect, no one can be trusted...I guess this is supposed to keep us on the edge of our chairs for 2 hours. It only grates on your nerves. The writers of this film obviously say Bill Murray's THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE and got the wise idea this would make an interesting vehicle. It's a vehicle alright...It'll drive ya right up a wall.
