He is back with his second film and he proves to be just about the only filmmaker in the world who could have pulled off a giant insects in the subway plot and turn it into a film worth watching. Three years ago a deadly disease carried by cockroaches was killing and crippling children. The approach to kill all the cockroaches was to create a sterile cross between a praying mantis, a termite, and a cockroach that would kill off cockroaches and then die off itself. The approach seemed to work perfectly, but now Kyle is seeing signs of a new insect in the subway tunnels that could be more dangerous than the original disease. But there is something else going on.
Strangers seem to be running around the city furthering the ends of the insects.
They are shady characters who seem to inhabit the dark corners of the city. And they have a special interest in Dr. Kyle. This is an odd role for Academy Award winning Sorvino. At base this is an overly familiar story. Science has created a monster and now a few people have to fight it.
