Best movie of this year hands down!
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Vast majority who reviewed this movie caught it on DVD, so they do not have the unique perspective I have viewing it via Netflix Streaming. Ms Henstridge was between the ages of 21 and 22 during the filming of this movie, still had a better than average figure particularly a nice tight tush. During the filming of the movie Impact somewhere between 2007 and 2008 when Ms Henstridge was between the ages of 33 and 34 her Gluteus Maximus was far from firm. First review posted which I conclude is like a benchmark review, because it asks stupid questions like did you find this review helpful. No system for rating movies is helpful especially since most are rated and reviewed by idiotic children between the ages of 10 and 32, yes you heard me correctly. People in the preceding mentioned age range have no taste when it comes to what true artistic cinema is, all today's movie goers care about is Special FX, when you have no talent hacks rehashing old movies, even using stupid plots to explain why things are so much different than the original (i.e.) J.J. Abrams and his bastardization of Star Trek, reply to Abrams and his mindless ST fans, Star Fleet Temporal Police, yes Star Fleet had them and they would have corrected any changes in the time line, being their vessels existed outside the time/space continuum, Temporal shields I believe.. Do not know who wrote the first review I read, but cut Natasha a break, so Species did fairly well a year earlier, but you could not refer to her character who spent far more time removing her clothes and using her body to seduce than reciting lines from a script as the star. In Species the plot focused as much on MIchael Madsen and Marg Helgenberger's characters and had far more lines, Ben Kingsley, Forest Whitaker and Alfred Molina also had more dialog. My point being cut her some slack, Lambert though he already was a star, he was not compelled to accept a role in such a poorly written movie. 1 last note, what the hell was the deal with the police cars with the word Policia on them, was not the plot of the movie suppose to have been within U.S. borders?
I was at the local DVD retail store a couple of weeks ago and found ADRENALIN sitting on one of the shelves, first time I saw it was years ago when it first came out on VHS I actually liked it, I mean it was no masterpiece and surely wasn't as bad as people said it was, well okay if you want something that has more of a story, I recommend you try something else, because this film only sums up the story as follows.A chemical leak in Europe has caused a deadly new virus, as the disease starts to spread towards the U.S, the government sets up quarantine camps in order to contain the large number of immigrants, now two cops that patrol the camps, one a rookie, (Natasha Hentsridge of Species and Ghosts of Mars) the other a seasoned veteran (Christopher Lambert of Highlander and Fortress) discover that a deranged killer is stalking the camps, but what they don't know is that he is infected with another type of virus that poses an even greater threat.Now I have Adrenalin on a very worn out VHS tape, but I decided to buy the DVD for better quality, and to my surprise turned out to be a longer version of the film, the difference between them is the longer version has a longer pre credit sequence that paints a grimmer picture of what went on, and has a few extra scenes and some of the scenes you might be familiar with in the shorter version are extended, but I still like it, despite what others think.Lastly, I have to admit I find Albert Pyun to be an interesting director, sometimes he directs a lot of really good films and other times I wonder is this the same guy? because considering his standard of good films, the bad ones actually leave your jaw hanging open and asking yourself, does this guy make movies to reflect in what kind of mood he's in at the time? Because when his movies are bad they're bad all right.
This really *is* the worst movie I've ever seen. And there's not much more to say. Horrible, worthless junk.All they do is run around in some old condemned building for 90 minutes, completely failing to build suspense or intensity of any kind. It's the most pathetic and laughable movie I've ever had the displeasure of watching. It was shockingly underwhelming; I could hardly believe my eyes. Pure exploitation of name actors like Lambert and Henstridge with absolutely zero storytelling or action substance. A remarkable example of the kind of depths the video rental market will stoop to in order to cheat you of your bucks. It's a total rip-off, not of any other movie but of your time and money.Avoid as if your life depended on it.1 out of 10.
I'm not really concerned with whether or not this was a low or big budget movie. A good film can be made with few or lots of $. Unfortunately, this one is a stinker. The overall idea of cops chasing a viiolent plague victim is interesting, but the execution is poor. There are so many illogical and outright silly goings on that it's hard to get involved with the film. Not helping things is the slew of cliched tricks and devices thrown in from the constant amplified panting of all the characters to flashlights that go out at all the right, or wrong times. The film has a few overtly gratuitous and pointlessly nasty scenes. The ending is just flat out incoherent. On the plus side, Lambert and Henstridge don't suck. They are not given much to do acting wise in the picture, but with what they have to work with they do a passable job. There are a few moments of suspense but mostly the film alternates between being repellent and insulting.
