Viewing Notes

Oy. With a cast like this I was hoping for something a little more unconventionally entertaining. Unfortunately all the entertainment comes from how utterly predictable the movie is, down to my being able to guess the exact dialogue in some situations.

Morley’s bit is great and Wings Hauser makes for a fun psycho. Even Railsback as the would-be doubtful savior does a decent job. But no one can escape the plain, boring predictability of the whole thing.
