a lack luster movie filled with the same old story we have been seeing since the dawn of B sci fi movies. a cop was set up and now is being punished by being shoved onto a monetary cargo ship that is about to be hijacked by "trained" (ha) thieves. well, you can guess what happens from there. sad thing is that they really spent some money on this movie, making the effects better then average for a B film. the directing is a little more then fair for the budget, and the acting is about as good as you can get on this type of movie. Oliver Gruner got away with not being dubbed over, but his english still has not improved, making it very hard understand what he is saying. and we have to see oliver dancing around to opera in his underwear... which is good for a laugh... and a scare. Apart from the effects and few action scenes, the movie is basically nothing. jabber, no dialog, and that comes from a bad plot with a script that suffers from weak writing. its ashame they spent so much money, and then did not bother to get a good script. another bad film for action/sci-fi junkies to rent on the weekends. so if you see it, rent it, for the effects if nothing else, which are fair as i said, but do not exspect to see a wonderful film.

Rent aliens or die hard instead. And for gods sake, do not bother buying this thing.
