(Possible spoilers) It pains me to admit that I watched this movie (okay, most of it). It also pains me to admit that Denise Richards is NOT the worst thing about this movie. For a while, she actually isn't too bad. Unfortunately, she isn't too great either.
There IS, in fact, a plot in this movie (unlike others of its ilk). However, without going into great detail, I came away from this movie with several unanswered questions:
1. Why are Denise Richards'cheekbones so pointy? Did she have that done deliberately? And why are they only pointy at certain angles? 2. Why is the female antagonist roughly 14 years old? 3. Why is Dolph Lundgren's character answering to her/apparently involved with her? 4. Again, because she's like, 14 years old? Am I the only one seeing this???? 5. Does Dolph Lundgren take Valium before he does these straight-to-DVD things, or what? 6.'Cause he seemed comatose for most of this movie. At least he was relaxed, right? 7. This movie needed snakes. Lots of them.
That's what I came away with. Spare yourselves ... take a different flight. Watch "Airplane!" again. Pray that this movie is someday used by MST3K! But don't waste your time or your money.
(On a side note: Lundgren's recent guest spin on "Arrow" shows that he's capable of far better things. Here's hoping "Aquaman" will make those things possible for him.)
