The Off Switch Was Never So On
29 September 2005
The film opened with quite possibly the worst theme music I have ever heard. If a tone deaf cat could play the fiddle it would still have come up with something better. The film titles sequence looks like it was written on cardboard. And then the film itself - how 80s can you get? Talk about dated. Looked like cheap porno filmed on Super 8!

Still, Sly looks cute with his beard and Lindsay Wagner is in it so I give it a chance. That chance was up about ten minutes into the film with the drugs bust. Cartoon characters in a loft. Motherf dialogue. And Sly's accomplice in fear of losing it. Yawn! The off switch was never so on.
