There are 80's and cheesy elements worked in all over the place, and edited like a high school video project with bits of this-and-that thrown in, instead of a highly cohesive cut more typical today. Personally I find this engaging, as the plot fails to thicken but the style keeps refreshing. I gotta take a star off for a couple moments where it went from B-movie to C-movie and was just painful to watch. But that's just 3-4 minutes, total.
