So this is what happens when Joe Estevez leads an entire movie. The answer is not good.
So there are connections to Plan 9 and Rollergator.
So I'm thinking the security guard is the spiritual successor to Hobgoblins military guy who went on to be a security guard.
"It's as if JJ Abrams lens flare was a ghost"
I learned we had the Penguin versus a sixties wrestler. Who wrote this?!
Was this filmed in an office building or a futuristic spaceship? I keep thinking about that basement.
I learned that robbing an office building is a high crime.
So we have a Puritan baby persecuted for being happy. So what's the plan? Lock the thing up!






Fodder's just this guy, you know.

I learned the family having their photos taken was almost certainly an actual family. Look at those distinctive noses. (I have one as well so it's not a rag on them)
I learned this is the first thing Joe has a love interest in (vs being am Angel of Death and stalking someone). How sweet.
I learned this had less effort put in it than Rollergator. Wow.
I learned it never felt like there was anything like a threat in this, other than kids going for the nards.
I learned this felt like it had less heart than a Polonia Brothers movie, and right after I thought it they got name dropped.
I learned the guys also watched 'Men at Work'. And here I thought I was the only one. Keith David was great in it, though.
I learned the more Joe talks uninterrupted, the more you'd swear you're in a conversation with Martin Sheen.
I learned the phone scene was not as bad as I thought it would be since she is shown doing the Tarot reading, so some action is taking place. Still too long but not *just* two people talking.
I learned the creepiest thing in this movie was the kid knowing his mother's measurements.

I learned that this movie was so bad, I had to watch Rollergator immediately afterwards to blot out the memories.

You know, a good Joe Estevez film.
