| Original Score: B-
A moodily malevolent, anything-goes revenge fantasy that relies more upon special visual and digitally animated effects for its intended appeal than any comics-derived sci-fier to date.

The nonsensical screenplay can barely stand-up to the hellzapoppin,' Beelzebubbin' effects mustered by first-time director Mark Dippe.
... an incoherent blitz of noise, chintzy special effects and bargain-basement allegory.

| Original Score: 1.5/4
... a nonstop bombardment that recalls Judge Dredd, but with better diction.
