why any film company would choose to publicise the fact that their product be courtesy of the man whose most notable recent achievement be escape from la be a bit of a mystery unlike that though and while a long way short of be a good film and ghost be surprisingly fun . set in a future where mar have be colonise and a team of police officer lead by pam grier and natasha henstridge be send to a mining post to escort public enemy james desolation williams ( ice cube ) back for trial . on arrival however and they find the place desert and a lot of dead body and the remain former inhabitant turn into mindless paint killer . to say this fall short of good be possibly a little misleading . to clarify and it awful . it not give too much away to say that the cause of the human strange behaviour be in fact an airborne virus which infect people and then leave the host for another when that person die . realise this early on in the film and do our intrepid hero come up with some cunning scheme to entrap them and the virus . don not be silly they grab the big and heavy artillery in sight and blow every virus carrier they come across into pulp . both grier and clea duvall be waste in their part and while jason statham cop role be so ham up it embarrass . the flashback structure mean that you know exactly who survive at the end and so there no suspense . mr cube and take a step away from the acting of three king and seem to have script a lot of his own dialogue in righteous gangsta speak and but his portrayal of a hardened criminal doesn not really work because and put simply and he look like a big teddy bear . nevertheless and the plentiful action sequence be well do and and it this that lift the whole thing into the o bad and it good bracket . so much so that the review audience laugh all the way through and applaud at the end . it so entertainingly terrible and it almost worth more praise .
