Summary: Unforgivable
Review: Fifteen minutes hadn't passed during this movie before I stopped watching. Aside from being one of those movies you know they write the scripts for in five minutes, I was shocked to find scenes STOLEN directly from Terminator 2, with simply a change of characters and music. It doesn't matter if they were given permission to or not, such a lack of effort and creativity deserves no merit. Do not even watch.

Summary: far from super
Review: First of all let me say that I am a Dean Cain fan, I watched this movie based on the fact that he was in it. That turned out to be a big mistake. The plot has holes in it that you could Drive a Mack truck through, the action sequences were a joke (I'm sure the AFT enters a hostile situation single file like ducks in a row), and I don't think the writers know what the words character development mean. I was so upset I was yelling at the television, but at the same time I couldn't turn it off. It was like a train wreck, you have to look.
If you're looking for an action movie, run. If you're looking for a Dean Cain fix get Best Men, Broken Hearts Club, or No Alibi; otherwise you'll lose 2 hours of your life you'll never get back.

Summary: Far from super
Review: First of all let me say that I am a huge Dean Cain fan, so I watched this movie based on the fact that he was in it. That turned out to be a mistake. The plot had holes you could drive a Mack truck through, the action sequences were a joke (I'm sure the ATF enters hostile situations single file like ducks in a row), and I don't think the writers know what the words character development mean. I was so upset I was actually yelling at the television, but at the same time I couldn't turn it off. It was like a train wreck, you have to look. If you're looking for a good action movie, run. If you're looking for a Dean Cain fix, like I was, get Best Men, Broken Hearts Club, or No Alibi; otherwise you'll lose two hours of your life you'll never get back.

Summary: Surprisingly good B movie!
Review: I always browse the 'B' section of the movie store, looking for diamonds in the rough. I rarely find them, but this one was an exception.Decent plot, good acting, interesting storyline, and some fascinating characters combine in this action movie to make it an enjoyable experience. Seeing old favorites like Stacy Keach and Jennifer Beals on the screen was a definite plus.

Summary: Steely men and women...
Review: I really had low expectations for this movie, so when I found myself actually being surprised about some of the twists in the plot, I figured Not Bad. Being a fan of mysteries, it was interesting the number of suspenseful turns this plot took. Some interesting alliances, and non-alliances, as people are working together or not. It seems all the characters are tense with each other over something. The plot isn't likely to take place today, post-Oklahoma City bombing, but the focus on the militia movement vs. military and goverment forces, and political arguments to boot, can have an open-minded person really thinking after-the-fact. Seeing these characters on-screen portraying their points-of-view, no matter what your beliefs, maybe the bad guys aren't such bad guys after all. As far as performances go, uniformly good, especially with quick intercuts and a fast-moving plot. An added plus is the obligatory hero-heroine romance is missing, though that's mainly because the characters are too busy working. The wardrobe seems off the rack rather than Georgio Armani, which may be less sophisticated but more true-to-life for guys and gals working on a salary. When the hero - an ATF agent - goes into his undercover op assignment, he even sports an unshaven look and trades steely glances and dialogue with a former militiaman - a man he once shot who is now functioning as his intro into the civilian army he is investigating. What's a definite problem is the DVD suffers from being full-screen instead of letterbox.

Summary: He's more than a Superman!
Review: I'll have to disagree with the other reviewer. I think this only proves that Dean Cain can act. As a fan of Mr. Cain since his Superman days, I enjoyed seeing something different from him. And knowing what some of his other projects coming up are, it shows how versatile an actor he really is. All in all, Dean Cain is more than just a pretty face.

Summary: Typical bad movie
Review: It's too obvious when they switch from pre-recorded footage from other sources to their own lame scenes. The plot completely lacks creativity (uh oh, bad guys have missiles, hero has to go stop them from launching). I don't mind action movies that use a recycled plot of they do a good job of it, but this movie has none of its own style, just a low-budget movie you would expect to be a cable network original or something like that. The only thing they added to a generic script was a brief rant by Dean Cain about how the milita nuts are afraid of the ATF (losely quoted) "breaking into their house and taking their guns." Newsflash Mr. Cain: that's EXACTLY what the ATF does, unless maybe they break in to take your alcohol or tobacco. If he wanted to make an anti-militia statement, doing it from the mouth of an ATF agent isn't the most convincing method.

Summary: super actor better as superman!
Review: this movie was a little slow at points, however the chick more than makes up for the lack of action. Shes pretty and hes used to be superman. This movie about a meglomanic that tries to use the "militia" for his own gains. Former superman actor Dean Cain stars in this slow military drama, but his acting is what amuses me most. If was interesting to see him act or the lack of it!
