The Worst Film Ever

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Hey, I just bought this little film because I was a big fan of Lee Majors. I had not seen him in a movie before. It was nice to see him again after watching him as the six million dollar man. I enjoyed the film . it had twist and turns. They should of made Lee's character more menacing and cruel, but what can you expect from the six million dollar man. Michael Pare from "Streets of fire" was also a treat to see on film again. The film was a good film. it entertain me and was a great treat to see all the old TV and movie stars from he 80's. It's worth watching. Like it said in the other reviews. it's not a big budget film, so I can't really compare this film to the Hollywood studio films out there. It's worth buying and keeping it as a collection. As Lee Majors is getting old to keep making movies. I wish they remake the six million dollar man, again.

I was unfortunate enough to work on a film with same the guys that made Fate. The guy that wrote it, (Ash Smith) also wrote/directed Paranoid, one of the other terrible movies from this production company. I read the script and tried to give him some constructive criticism which he would have no part of. I worked for free as a P.A. and they made me feel like they were doing me a favor. It was good experience but what I really learned was how not to make a movie. If you have a chance, rent or buy "Paranoid", made by the same production company, and instead if watching it, beat yourself over the head with it. It will be less painful. Also, I can almost guarantee that any positive comments made about this film or "Paranoid" came from the people that made it.

I rented this from Blockbuster last week, out of curiosity... Especially since I had not seen Lee Majors in anything for such a long time.I have to say, this was a solid film. It had a completely original take on the serial killer genre... making it more personal then anything I've seen. Michael Pare' plays a former FED who has now taken a job as a Police Detective. He is joined by Philip Michael Thomas (where has this guy been) who plays his new partner. They have a history as they were both Federal Agents. While Pare' does a solid job, it's Thomas' weird (almost creepy) performance that gives their partnership spice. Add this to Lee Majors spectacularly creepy and messed up performance, and you have a whole lot of things to keep your interest. While the film is far from perfect... some sound issues and a cliché or two... it is a fresh enough take on the serial killer genre to make it worth a rental. I think the director Ace Cruz has something to be proud of, and it would be nice to see what the guy could do with a real budget. I watch a ton of films every week (and pay a lot in rental fees), and many of the filmmakers / directors of the films I see are just going through the motions to get the film done... where Ace seems to have an actual vision.Check it out!

Spoilers ahead - Spoilers ahead - Spoilers aheadAfter buying the dirt-cheap DVD on Ebay, my expectations were not exactly high, and for good reason: the movie is too boring to spend any time on, not even in order to waste some time away on a dozy Sunday afternoon.Most of the technical details - sound, special effects and so on - are nothing big to write home about (were these guys using blank cartridges?), but they are solid enough for a B-movie, no more and no less. And that's it for the positive aspects. The story is...oh well, weak. And I mean, really weak. A retired, reborn janitor (Lee Majors) falls prey to insanity and goes on a tour of bloody revenge against his fallen and sinful children, who were adopted away from him right after birth. Two veteran police officers, both just retired from the Bureau, lead the investigation. In a final climax Officer No. 1 (Michael Paré) leaves behind his colleagues and confronts the insane killer, just to find out that...ohhh, spank me hard, how original...he is one of these adopted kids, as well. If the story sounds scanty and fragmented, it's not because I'm a lousy narrator - that's really all there is to it. And it's not even told in any way that could make up for its deficiencies. Camera work is lousy at best - too slow, too incoherent, too often focused on some scene of no interest, leaving the audience alone with grasping the salient points, with reconstructing the story.The acting is another thing to scare me in this movie. Did they pay the cast at all? Did they whip these guys? Torture them? Or why else is it that the entire cast appears as tormented, bored, and disinterested as can be? Michael Paré - well, mediocre as ever. In his facial gestures the guy is about as flexible as a solid granite block. And about as attractive. Philip Michael Thomas (Officer No. 2) - he's had his big times. And these are over. For good. And what in all the world happened to my childhood hero Lee Majors? Sorry to say that, but he looks like he's about to perish on the spot, slow, without the least bit of esprit or energy, bored, and so on and so on. They all seem on the brink of one profound and long coma.What remains is the impression that I have wasted 90 minutes of my life. And the anger about having done just that. A weak 2 out of 10. Ugghhh...
