Radiation hurts, as does this movie
1 May 2016
Sponge (Danny Glover) and Willburn (Stephen Baldwin) work in a rebel organisation called Green War. They are fighting against an oppressive government that has caused radioactive poisoning of much of the world, in this movie represented by Colonel Asimov (Rutger Hauer), Major Anderson (Daryl Hannah) and their mercenary leader Lobo (Michael Madsen). When Willburn meets a radiation survivor in the ruins, Tuag (Neva Leoni), she has a few surprises for him while Asimov's men start chasing them...

Of course the stars' agents weren't born yesterday and know what garbage they are getting their hands on, hence they are likely to request minimal workload for their protégés: shoot 2 days, take the check and say goodbye. Accordingly, Glover gets a role where he just sits in front of computers in a dark office, while Rutger Hauer walks around in a cheap uniform (watch the stripes almost fall off), talking to Daryl Hannah who stands around with a blank expression. Madsen enjoys being Madsen under any circumstances, thus the only one I feel sorry for is Neva Leoni, because she shows talent and a creative performance which is utterly wasted here.
