Critical Mass | Treat Williams, Lori Loughlin | So bad, it's a wonder it's not a cult movie!     vhs video:     Critical Mass   Critical Mass Treat Williams, Lori Loughlin Live / Artisan, 2003 average customer review:based on 6 reviews  for more information click here Treat Williams versus some bad guys Treat Williams and Lori Loughlin try to foil a terrorist group which is setting up shop inside a nuclear facility. Udo Kier (of Blade, and Shadow of the Vampire) leads the terrorists. Look, this isn't going to win any Oscars, but it's passable action fare. Sure, there are plot holes. Also, some of the violent action is unrealistic, and it looks cheap. Still, Loughlin and Williams give solid performances, and lots of the movie is especially well done. A scene where Williams and Loughlin watch two terrorists dumping a couple of bodies is very spooky, even chilling. Udo Kier's icy stare is still on the mark. Regarding the scene in which the politician character is tossed through the air by an explosion: another reviewer sniffed that he only got a little fake blood on his nose. Sir, the character ended up dead. It's not like the character wiped the blood off his nose and walked away. It was INFERRED that he suffered trauma to the head and body. Must everything be spelled out for some viewers? The final edit didn't show his entire body, maimed head to toe. So what? Would you be more satisfied if you saw fake blood over the ENTIRE body? Does that make for a better movie? This is an action movie. People get shot and fall down. If they don't get up, they might be dead. That's the way it goes. If you're expecting an action movie with visuals as good as The Bourne Identity or as much gore as Blade II, you're out of luck. Again, Fred Olen Ray has used a small budget to wisely craft a decent action flick. Williams and Loughlin play their parts well, and the film has more than its share of worthwhile moments. I only wish that Fred Olen Ray had provided a commentary track for this DVD. His commentary tracks on Active Stealth and Venomous are laugh riots.

I couldn't agree with the previous reviewer more--it's hard to believe that this movie could possibly have been made as a serious "action" flick. Right from the start, with the lead terrorist consulting his map of the building time after time after time, I assumed that the entire movie was a spoof! I'm still not quite convinced it 's not a tongue-in-cheek affair... I've watched it twice now with my husband, and we've thoroughly enjoyed creating our own running dialogue to accompany the movie and which points out all the things the characters overlook/do wrong/do poorly/don't do and should.  for more information click here reviews: page 1, 2 products you might be interested in   search for videos critical mass, critical, mass      toavi.com    web randomly chosen DVD: Marco Polo
