a good idea and badly implement . while that could summarize 99 % of the scifi channel movie and it really apply here . i love movie where a good back story be slowly reveal and and i like action movie and and i like all of the main actor and so this could have be great . however and despite some good acting and this movie fail due to bill platt bad writing and directing . another review make the good point of need to know where youre go so you can get there . this movie doesn not . it put together in such a haphazard way that you know the word second draft be not in bill platt vocabulary . there be one scene that be entirely unnecessary and could be remove without anyone noticing . this scene even begin and end with them drive a car and so you could cut from one car scene to the other and never have miss the pointless scene in the middle . this movie also have a strange habit of under explain some detail while over explain others and some to the point where you can guess the entire plot up front . it also have a habit of abort a fight early and probably just because they couldn not afford it . there be also a few laughably bad scene where the plot be reveal on a computer and the final battle involve conveniently place toxic adhesive ( seriously and what be that . ) . if you be a fan of shiri appleby and watch this movie because she ok. she do manage to break out of her roswell persona a few time and make for a good tough chick ( but not always ) . john de lancie play the same character he play in everything he ever do since play q back in st representtng and so that nothing new . in all and i give this movie a 4/10 rating .
