"Absolute cinematic torture, this disgrace of a film is a vanity project gone berserk for someone who doesn't have any reason to be vain, Steve Barnes. A "radio personality" in Atlanta, Barnes is as inept and wooden an actor as you will likely ever see. His performance makes The Rock look like Marlon Brando. There is a reason he has been on radio for his entire life.



Completing the cast that includes Barnes are Corey Feldman and Michael Damian, which makes one wonder if a monkey produced this film. What is going on in Hollywood these days?



Anyways, the plot is horrible, the acting is horrible, the lighting is horrible, the cinematography is horrible, and the directing is a joke. You are better off watching grass grow.

Steve Barnes may be the worst actor of all time!!!!

"This movie is full of bad acting, bad writing, bad lighting, and bad directing. This being said, the absolute worst part of this "steaming pile" is it's star and lead "actor", Steve Barnes. This has got to be a joke. Did he win some sort of "So You Think You Can Act" reality show? It looks like they grabbed some big headed, pot marked nincompoop off the street, dressed him in a leather duster and said "Action"! He comes off as some sort of fat, dopey Clint Eastwood with a lobotomy. Honestly, Steve Barnes makes Corey Feldman look like Russell Crow. Just terrible!!"

Can You Say "Low Budget?" & Where's The Minus 5 Stars Button

"OK, so I bought the DVD because the film's 'star' Steve Barnes, is/was a fairly OK radio DJ here in the ATL, and the local hype was big because it was filmed here. The whole film gives our town (and possibly the entire South) a bad name. The DVD is blurry so everything in Atlanta looks old and out of focus. The sound is muddled, and where there should be background noise/music, there isn't any. The writing and acting are putrid, especially Steve Barnes' premiere starring role as a Terminator 2 wanna-be that plays like a stoic robot in a stupor instead of an actual character. Jeff Fahey as a US Senator (serving an 8-year term? When did that start?) must be ashamed he ever showed up in this pig. The movie's art direction and continuity staff must have quit before production started, as did the make-up team (you'll see what I mean). Low points include a girl that is supposedly under 18 years old (but looks 35) being held 'captive' in a cheap $30 wire dog crate from Petsmart (could escape in 10 seconds...try it at home), and a US Senators' re-election fund-raiser(after the infamous 8-year term) being held in the attic of a warehouse with like 15 people in attendance. This movie smells so bad that you'll need to take 2 showers and brush your teeth to get the taste out. I can stand almost anything, and make allowances for low budget, but not for low effort. The movie's producers didn't care and neither should you. Spend 90 minutes doing something more fun, like changing your transmission fluid."

Please go back to Radio!

"I am a Barnes fan from his early morning radio show days.. All I can say is that when people try to do a cross-over from one medium to the next they should really rethink doing it in low-budget.. The movie IS however quite entertaining from Corey Feldmans performance.. I said entertaining, not worth buying.. Rent this if your 99x morning show fan/Steve Barnes fan/or a Corey Feldman fan.. As for the young & the restless star it was an eye-opener on how old I really am because I thought he had died!!! (...) for some funny t-shirts that will make you laugh harder than this movie!!!"
