bodine-1 This senseless and incoherent action/horror flick is one of director Pyun's better movies. Number one...it's short, clocking in at a brisk 77 minutes. Number two...it's got the "Species" babe Henstridge in a role that doesn't require her to shed her clothes, but she STILL looks great. Number three...I like Lambert, no matter how awful the movies he chooses to be in happen to turn out.As another reviewer stated, Lambert and Henstridge are cops chasing a mutant killer, who is carrying a contagious disease, through what looks like a sewer. That's about it for plot development, although there are some half-baked attempts to fill in Henstridge's character. Pyun is best suited to directing action set pieces and he has lots to work with here. Nice little time waster that's never boring and is over before you know it.

sanliizzet It would be unfair to comment that Adrenalin is boring at all. Although it was a low budget Pyun film, it has its moments. Although I watched the movie on TV, I still got some excitement. Not bad as a B grade thriller for mediocre audience like me! One thing I am still confused about, in the beginning of the movie it reads "Romania, western Europe", but the movie trailer says it is Boston.Another plot hole of the film, to me, is if the guy who was infected by a virus something like rabies, seems to be sane and very intelligent. How could he be so clever and retain his mental composure? He was supposed to be delirious or in coma instead. I don't think the writer cared about this details. 3 out of 10, for the sake of the face value of Lambert, my icon.

Scarecrow-88 A virus-infected cannibalistic maniac, who needs to be killed because in a certain time he'll supply a plague that will danger mankind as he is a carrier, attacks humans using a curving knife with a spiked handle. Cops Christopher Lambert and Natasha Henstridge must pursue him into ventilation ducts which lead to an old, shut-down prison where he feels right at home. He becomes the predator and the cops become the prey as the prison is quite darkened and the monster is able to move quickly with cunning and skill. He also uses a gun that shoots the hell out of Lambert. Lambert's other partners include Liz Barondes and Norbert Weisser who wind up being hunted as well. As Weisser goes for help(there are scientists in quarantine suits on their way and Andrew Divoff is the leader who understands what is wrong with the maniac on the loose..if only he'd share with the rest of us), the other three must fend for themselves in an environment the quarry understands a lot more than them it seems. Once the maniac riddles Lambert and Barondes with bullets it'll be up to Henstridge to save them.Surprisingly suspenseful with a lingering foreboding due to the decrepit, darkly lit prison setting. Director Albert Pyun decides to close his camera in on the killer's ferocious fangs and blood-shot eye. Most of the time, he's shrouded in darkness. Pyun mostly shoots everyone up close with long shot sequences mainly of the spooky corridors where the killer could pop out at the cops at any time. The film, though, doesn't have much of a plot other than the killer trapping our heroes in the prison. This horrifying future where plagued humans are separated from the healthy isn't given enough treatment. Pyun tended to shoot way too many facial shots barely giving the viewer any breathing room. He edits fast as well keeping the action moving at such breakneck speed. The camera rarely sits still. I kind of liked this B-movie for what it is. It doesn't have much of a leg to stand on, but with what little story Pyun(it's his own fault, though, since it was him who wrote it..it seems like he merely designed a chase'n'attack flick) has he makes an effective little no-budget creeper.

HighlanderArg (May have spoilers)Fine, I admit it. I panick like hell with any horror film. HOwever, being a huge Lambert fan, I could not resist buying this one (it was $2, after all). The director is Albert Pyun. With low budget, he's done some great stuff ("Mean Guns"), some acceptable stuff ("Blast"), and disasters ("Captain America"). This one would fit somewhere between the last two categories. I expected this to suck enormously yet I wasn't highly dissapointed. It's Eastern europe (though it says Boston ¿), and after the Russian government collapsed, there's something killing people. To get this supposedly ordinary killer, the rookie Delon (Natasha Hensdrige, "Species") and other cop are sent to stop him. The other cop soon is killed and she is sent backup, among them Lemieux, a "distinguished" officer (Christopher Lambert). These four start to chase the creature around and that's the whole film.The main character is the lovely Natasha, and not the Lamberto, who is always either getting shot (hang on -- you were shot, you broke a leg... this is not Highlander, right?), or buoying her to follow the thing. How come she ended here, I wonder if this wasn't to prove that she can do a film without showing her boobs.Andrew Divoff makes a secondary appearance here, probably promised to have a bigger role (in "Blast) or after that film, he was doing a favour to Albie.The rest of the cast is somewhat fine. The filming is great for the little budget, and it's not bad. It's just one of Pyun's "location films", where everything happens in the same place.It deserves a 5 so I give it a 5.
