"I hate to disagree with the other esteemed reviewer of this cinematic nightmare, but it is my duty to inform the innocent viewing audience that this was a completely AWFUL movie.

The dialog was ridiculous, the "action" scenes were right out of a Keystone Cops cartoon, the acting was beneath contempt (including some fairly well-known actors who definitely should have known better), and at no time does it rise above the level of a mid-60's soft-core porn movie, which coincidentally it actually becomes once the characters seek refuge at (cliche alert) a "flight attendant's" house.

Beware of any movie in which one of the characters has a middle name of "The Dragon", especially when he appears to be about 60 years old with martial arts skills that are on par with one of the zombies in Dawn of the Dead. Beware any movie in which Gary Busey utters the following immortal lines while consoling a guy whose father committed suicide: "Just look at this as an....(forgetting the script)....an.....what's the word?....(someone says it from off camera) an evolution....of your....your....what's the word? (again from off camera)....your destiny." I kid you not. Everyone involved in this wretched production must have been over-medicated or delusional, including the poor devils who put up the money to produce it.

In conclusion. It is so awful as to be laughable, therefore, if you do rent or buy it, do so for its (unintentional) comedy content, definitely not for its drama. It is as Gary Busey would say....uh.....uh....what's the word?.....AWFUL !!!"
