Adrenalin: Fear the Rush

Summary: Adrenalin was a good movie
Review: A lot of people are being harsh towards Adrenalin: Fear the Rush, when it was actually a pretty good movie. The only problem with the movie is the setting. Otherwise the plot and characters were actually pretty good. It had suspense and a few thrills. If you like science fiction type movies, atleast give this movie a chance.

Summary: Christopher Lambert Strikes Again
Review: For anyone who thinks this is a good movie, or for anyone considering watching it, let me describe to you a little something that happens herein: one of the characters is killed in the middle of the movie, but he appears at the end unscathed -- with absolutely no explanation of what happened. And, as Dave Barry often writes, we are not making this up.

Anyway, for most of the interminable duration of "Adrenalin," Christopher Lambert, Natasha Henstridge, and some other actors I've never heard of star as cops chasing after some psycho in post-apocalyptic Boston. If that premise doesn't sound dumb enough, here are some other bad or just absurdly stupid things in this movie:

* It stars Christopher Lambert.

* It is set after an apocalypse. It was made in the 1990s. It takes place in 2008.

* There was a massive plague in Europe that caused many Europeans to come to Boston. But apparently, they brought their stucco red-roofed buildings and their police cars, which say "Policia" on the side. May I remind you again that this takes place in Boston.

* Much of the movie takes place in a dungeon (see final sentence of last point).

* The villian is really lame (if you want to call him villain, that is -- he's actually infected with an evil virus, presumably the same one that wiped out Europe). He looks like an old man dying of cancer and limps around whenever the camera is on him, but he seems to have super-powers whenever he is off-screen -- a common characteristic of villians in bad horror movies. Whenver he appears, there is also a very silly loud shriek that is often accompanied by a shot of his blood-drenched teeth. Finally, his two weapons are a curved blade and a pistol. If you have the misfortune of seeing this movie, you'll realize how dumb it looks.

* Boston has been quarrantined, and the only way to get out is with a passport. But using a fake one is punishable by death. Natasha Henstridge's character gets such a counterfeit passport for her kid to escape Boston, but it is not clear how she expects for it to fool the authorities because when she drops it at one point in the movie, Lambert exclaims: "A fake passport!"

* We do not get to see Henstridge with her shirt off. They could have at least put that in as a consolation. After all, if half way through this movie Henstridge suddendly declared that it was awfully hot and muggy in the dungeon and that she wanted to remove her clothing in order to gain some relief, it would not have made this movie any worse artistically.

* The correct spelling of the word is "adrenaline."

One final word of caution: Although the things I have listed above may make "Adrenalin" seem so bad that it's good, beware! Much of it is very boring, consisting of the cops crawling through sewars and dungeons with very little action. What little action takes place is incredibly bad, mostly consisting of Lambert getting shot in the arms and shoulders and then writhing in pain. If you want to see one of the worst movies made in the last decade, be my guest. But don't complain when you are unable to erase the hideous memory of this movie from your brain.

Summary: Great suspense, and a reasonable plot what's the prob?
Review: Great suspense, and a reasonable plot what's the prob?

Plot is : a surprise presents itself, pursue a goal to be not dead.

Poseidon Adventure, all the Die Hard movies all move the same premise, and so many more.

I think the characters develop nicely. Lighting is great. Music fine. Sound FX good.

Watch it 2 or 3 times, and its great along with a game of Doom3.

Summary: Short, sweet, and to the point.
Review: I have always been a fan of Albert Pyun films and I have to say, this is his crowning achievement. The suspense and characters are mesmerizing and it will knock you on the ground. But, if you have a weak stomach, or are very squeamish, BEWARE!

Summary: Without a doubt, the worst movie I have ever seen
Review: I saw this movie a few years back and after watching, thought to myself, "this is the worst movie I've ever seen." Years later, it still stands its ground as such. The first 10 minutes of the film seem to be supplying the setting and cast familiarizations. 15 minutes or so into the film, the main characters go to a building to check something out, when out of the blue they notice an albino freakish killer of some sort. They go to check it out and...lo and behold, THEY SPEND THE ENTIRE REST OF THE MOVIE IN ONE BUILDING HUNTING AN ALBINO KILLER BEAST! I had no idea that this was what the movie was going to consist of by the description on the back of the box. Horrible acting, horrible plot, very few effects(which are essential for this type of plotless, characterless, B-film), I would pay Blockbuster 3 bucks to take this movie out of my memory. I would've rated 0 stars but there was no option to do so. Seeing that it goes for over 100 dollars here made me laugh aloud for at least 50 seconds. DO NOT RENT.

Summary: a different kind of movie
Review: If you're looking for a good story, performances and dialogue look somewhere else. Adrenalin: Fear the Rush (love that name!), deliberately avoids all three, preferring to concentrate on non-stop action, and low-budget action is what Albert Pyun (directer) does best.
While this doesn't appeal to many, if you get into the action you will find Adrenalin a tense and exciting journey, and never boring.

Summary: horrible from beginnning to end
Review: one of Lamberts sucky films with him and Henstridge going after a man with a virus that can speard and they have to kill him before its to late. begins corny with its lame intro to the killer and its god awful few seconds late suspense music, though theres the part where Lambert gets shot up a bunch of times. strikly for nobrainers

Rating:
Summary: Possibly the worst film ever made.
Review: One star is one too many for this piece of puerile drivel. Plotless and virtually scriptless, badly "acted", a cheap piece of sensationalism. I can't think of a single redeeming thing to say about it other than that at least it ended. AVOID.
