Standout Aspects

Acting

Michael Paré's villain performance is inexplicably committed.

Production

Shot in rural Vermont with budget visible in every frame.

Writing

Dialogue so wooden it achieves accidental poetry.

Best for:Friends: Irony-forward group who yells at the screen.·Background: Perfect chaos for multitasking with occasional confused glances.·Rewatch: Uncover new layers of glorious nonsense each time.
Heads up:Violence: Mild gunplay and hostage tension, nothing graphic.
