Mo ([email protected]) I bought this DVD to watch Luke Perry, to continue on my journey in watching everything he's done. He was good in it and believable. I only found out afterwards that the British sounding guy was a James Bond. Cool. I expected a B-movie plot, budget, and acting, and a sub par story that will hopefully have me a little entertained. So, in all those regards, boy did this movie deliver! I had fun watching, didn't grow bored, and there were plenty of chase and action scenes to keep the excitement going for those who like that sort of genre, too. Luke likes to try different roles, like the bad guy, the southern guy, the husbandy guy, the shady guy, etc. to try to expand his versatility, I guess, and I can't hold that against him. It's his acting career and his choice to make. But I'm a fan of Dylan! It's my favorite type of role of his. He's recreated the Dylan character in other shows after 90210, like in Jeremiah. I was overjoyed to see that for this role he brought out more Dylan, albeit a genius version of it, which is fine! It seems that he has a comfortability doing that role whenever he plays a character that has a strenuous relationship with his father, like in 90210 and Jeremiah. So, in that regard, this movie really delivered for me, awesome stuff!Rated R for violence that you would see on TV and "some language"? Weird. The movie got a tad technical at times and that could be a bit confusing, with gene splicing, Interpol, and computer jargon, but it stayed honest enough that it sounded all legit. A funny part of the movie where it was a "big reveal" (don't worry, it was only a big reveal for a split second of the scene) when the main character says, "Tell me now! What does WMD stand for!" And when he got his answer it was supposed to be eye-opening. It's sad that only a few months after the release of this movie, WMD became a household term.Recommended if you're a Luke Perry fan and want to see more of his work. Also recommended if you're a B-movie fan and like action movies that no one has heard of. Not much else reason to watch this one.
Michael O'Keefe Ho-hum. An inventor's(Horst Buchholz)deadly biological weapon is in danger of falling into the wrong hands. Unknowingly his son(Luke Perry)has been working on the antedote all along. Enter CIA agent Olivia d'Abo and the cat-and-mouse car chases and gunfire begins. Also in the cast are:Tom Conti, Hendrick Haese and an aging Roger Moore. Moore seems to haggardly move through this mess definitely not one of his better efforts. Perry fans will be accepting. d'Abo is wrong for the role, but nice to look at.
Ffolkes-3 It's definitely not enough to say that the movie is bad. It's very, very bad. Its terribly predictible plot and a weak, amateurish direction doesn't help the viewers to get rid of the feeling that they were simply cheated. There are two good actors in it: Roger Moore and Tom Conti but even they can't save "The Enemy" from falling. Luke Perry can't save the day and so can't Olivia d'Abo. The pairing of the two doesn't work at all and that's because they're a fourth league performers who, even in a pseudo-erotic scene, can't afford expressing any emotions. I feel sorry for Moore and Conti that they appeared in such a crap. I hope their future projects will be much more watchable and less conventional.
mccall-4 Not as bad a film as i thought it would be.It has a good cast.Nice to see Roger Moore back on screen as well as the use of other British actors.Would like to see more of Olivia D`Abo in future projects.Maybe starring opposite her cousin the sexy Maryam D`Abo.Also a good use of unseen locations such as Luxembourg.Hopefully we will see more UK-European co-productions like this.
