Disgraiced former-FBI, Richard Gaynes (Lance Henriksen), a year after the government had canned him after a terrorism case went horribly wrong, has to go through the highly experimental gambit of being shrunk down to microscopic size and to join a team of equally diminutive people in order to retrieve a biological bomb that has been embedded inside a terrorist's body before he dies and everything blows up. Gaynes is also assisting the cold fish, Dr. Saverini (Robin Givens), whom he's attracted to for some reason.

I wanted to like this film simply on the basis that Lance Henriksen is a favorite actor of mine, and it was serviceable enough until we get to the 'Innerspace' storyline. When Lance set's foot on the ship his character who before had been calm, cool and collected reverts into an awe-struck schoolboy-type that is either constantly asking repetitive questions (especially about 'the whites') or exclaiming how awed he is. Givens is little better as the cold fish with a 'sweet interior', while the other two shipmates are completely and utterly worthless. The film itself lacked any kind of excitement and i found myself getting bored long before the film was over.

My Grade: D
