Terreur sur la ville

B-movies typically come in two categories: Unwatchable Garbage and Entertaining Garbage. This one falls in the latter category. It's got the goods: Over-the-top action and violence, snappy corny dialogue, fun performances, and a darkly humorous tone. Aside from a couple of scenes that drag on a little too long, It's quickly paced. Once things get going, they keep going, so it never really feels boring.

I saw this movie when it first came out, . Enjoyed the characters, first thought this was spin off of Death . Wish movie, do to name & background of the Bo Hopkins character . (is explained in part during the café fighting scene) . With it's low budget, they did fairly good with the movie . Imagine what could have been if they had double the money . Only real scary part (do to today's terrorists activities, is the .idea of poisoning the water supply) . This age of remakes, maybe someone should dust-off the script . and with a bigger budget, might make a decent movie.

.It's B-Movie sci-fi & western, no more, nothing less.

No pun intended - this feels like ... I have not seen many Mastorakis movies ... but he is quite infamous. So I expected this to be really over the top. I mean the stabbing incident (I'll call it that) and some other things go an extra mile .. so for people who are sensitive or are way more sensible ... they may feel differently. But everyone else may not be too impressed in the end.

All that said, the story is quite out there (no pun intended). The effects are quite well done too - again not for the faint of heart of course. I almost included this to my Shocktober challenge, but had too many to watch anyway. Some good actors and the one thing that surprised me the most: Hans Zimmer made music for this ... well why not?

On the surface, a very bad action adventure film. But, if not taken too seriously, it's a lot of fun. When a mad scientist poisons the water supply of a small Utah town, it's up to a drifter, a celebrity lawyer and two local cops to bring order to a town where the the citizens are now possessed by rage and violence. The last half hour reveals the film for what it truly is: a modern day western, as the good guys mount up to trail the bad guys for a showdown. Filmed with style on a small budget, featuring a score by Hans Zimmer of all people, the story only fails in the last ten minutes where the director just seemed to run out of story.

This is one of the most unintentionally funny movies I've ever seen.

It's a real stereotype of a B movie, or even worse, a C movie.

I saw this at a military hospital and boy did I laugh my *** off, a real painkiller it was.

I recommend you watch this one with a large dose of humor.
