Bad, but not horrible
Let's start off by saying that Billy Zane had two scenes in this movie,and that the quick cut away to his image at the beginning doesn'tcount.
Overall, this wasn't that horrible. (Though that's not an accolade).The stars on the cover are not the stars of the film.
We have a decent younger actor named Griffin Hood as the real star.Hood and Eric Roberts' character are in charge of Governor Chip Majors(James Dumont), which will of course lead to many shoot outs andassassination attempts.
Billy Zane, who gets top billing, had about five minutes in this film.That really ticked me off, as I spent the whole time (which was a shorthour and ten minutes) thinking; "Where is the star of the movie?"Steven Bauer has a cool little role as the sleazy presidential nominee,and Eric Roberts is cool anyways.
Not a bad Saturday afternoon action flick.

patriotic exercise near opening
A patriotic exercise at the beginning, with students and uniformedmilitary pledging allegiance, showed service members holding theirhands over their hearts. Servicemembers in uniform render a saluteduring a patriotic exercise. Before using uniformed military in aproduction, producers would do better to consult with e department ofdefense of a specific service. This would help ensure that any militaryportrayal would be the most accurate. Althoug many would overlook thiserror, service members and veteran will readily know this and perhapsfeel slighted. It is a small oversight, and should not detract from theoverall quality of the production.

This is so far above your pay grade that you can't imagine
***SPOILERS*** sloppily made international political thriller that hasto do with a nominee for vice president Louisiana Governor Chip Majorswho's somehow involved, in knowing too much, about the North Koreanuranium enrichment program that's threatening world peace. That's ifthe North Koreans are able to produce military grade plutonium to fitinto their intercontinental missiles and .150 to .300 mm artilleryshells.
It's before Chip is to attend a major contributer shindig at a swankyNew Orleans hotel that he decides to let off some steam by foolingaround with his favorite $1,000.00 a pop hooker so he can loosenhimself up for the important political affair. It's just when he poppedhimself up with a couple of Viagra pills and is about to go into actionthat Chip notices that his sexual partner is, with a gun and silencerattached to it, planing to rub him out before he can even pull hispants off. Beating her, the hooker, to the punch Chip ends up bothdisarming and strangling her to death. With the two Louisiana statetroopers who were protecting him coming to his aid their shocked tofind the governor is such a embarrassing and compromising position. Ina hotel room with his clothes off and a dead hooker laying in his bed!
The two state troopers Devin Taylor & Tom Cobb, with Taylor somewhathesitant, are given one million dollars by Chip to cover up the wholemess that he just got himself into. A mess that would not only destroyhis political carer but can land him behind bars for 10 to 15 years!
The movie jumps from Louisiana to off all places war-torn Afganistanwhere officer Cobb's estrange wife Gloria is working with the USmilitary as a CIA interrogator. It's then that we realize just what allthis has to do with Governor Chip Majors. It's in what Chip knows aboutthe North Koreans and their nuclear ambitions that he can really dothem lots of damage. That's if he ever gets elected vice president andinforms his boss, his party's Presidential Candidate South Carolinasenator Edmund, about them and their future military plans!
It's then that the film start to get completely out of hand with gangsof North Korean hit squads who originated out of Afghanistan to providethe North Koreans with cover, in not being connected with them, intrying to eliminate Gov. Majors before he and his running mate Sen.Edmund end up in the oval office!
***SPOILERS*** With a number of shoot ups car chases and explosions tokeep the audience from falling asleep, in trying to follow what thefilm is trying to tell them, Gov Majors is eventually neutralized butonly after officer Taylor, by refusing to take his bribe money, decidesto turn him in. Officer Cobbs who played along with the corruptGovernor ended up getting iced by the North Korean sponsored assassinsto also make sure that he doesn't talk if, like Taylor, he decides tochange his mind. In the case of Officer Taylor he doesn't have to besilenced by the hit teams since he, by trying to play the good guy inthe movie, ended up getting framed in the Governors murder and is setto spend the rest of his life, if he's in fact not executed, behindbars!
P.S Even though he gets top billing in the movie actor Billy Zane is onscreen for less then five minutes. Zane plays CIA chief of Far EasternOperations Graham who orchestrated this entire sleazy and criminaloperation and at the same time, in him being almost invisible in thefilm, not wanting to be connected to it.

Bad Dog! Bad!!
I would like to disagree with the other viewers who have given thismovie such terrible reviews, but, alas, I cannot. If there were anOscar for the worst movies of the year, this would be a nominee. Whilethe script has small glimmers of possibility, the staging and actingare quick to cover them up. With the exception of the obligatory chasescene, the entire movie seems to have been filmed in a hotel--includingthe scene which was supposedly taking place in the Capitol. Billy Zaneis in only two scenes, and in one of them he does not speak. Thesupporting actors deliver their lines as if, inasmuch as the producerswere trying to keep the budget below $3.95, there were no rehearsals.The sound was terrible and the film quality was very poor. SPOILERALERT By the time the governor is shot and killed, we were ready to getin line to do the job if no one else did.

Crap, yes, but...
That's the typical film I love to see, even if it is a very bad one.The acting, shooting, dialogues, characters are awful. Most TV moviesarr far better than this non sense. That's probably one of the worstfilms ever made. Only one among thousands of this kind, I must admit.But the story is very interesting, because unusual. And I love what isunusual. No real leads in this feature, no good guys vs bad guys. Inthis tale there are actually many bad guys. And no ethics at all. Nof...happy ending either.
I really love that, even, I repeat, if the film is forgettable for mostof the viewers.

I want my $1 RebBox money back!
***Spoiler Alert***** This movie is by far the worse move in thehistory of film making. The acting is so contrived that you swore the'actors' were reading from queue cards. I was so painful to watch asthis cast of misfits tried to add feelings and emotions to their lines.The story goes nowhere. Clich? abound. And the action sequences comefrom the old Batman or Superman TV shows. Remember the villain duckinga good 2 seconds before Batman took a swing? Remember the slowly thrownhand gun at Superman and he ducks? Same things here except for thewacky cartoon bubbles. For the love of all that is holy, this shouldhave been made as a cartoon. No way any competent actors would sign upfor this unless they are in if for the money grab. I agree with theother reviewers that the acting was on par with a 10th grade play. ATelemundo soap opera thinks that this movie was over-the-top. Save your$1 for the 99cent burger instead.

Terrible, terrible, terrible movie
Terrible movie. This should be labeled a comedy. Separate plot lines(connected by a mere unnecessary phone call) mixed with terrible actingcause a true one-of-a-kind movie watching experience.
How expensive is good camera work? All the shots in this movie are fromthe view point of a midget in the back of a crowd; always looking upand peoples backs listening to people talk.
All background information is given through long, boring monologues. Asfar as the plot goes, this could possibly be an interesting start to apolitical thriller. But it took way to long to go nowhere with it.
All in all, a terrible movie. 1 star. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

Now I know what they mean by "one of the worst films ever made"
I have to agree with the other posters. Watching this movie is one ofthe worst experiences of my life. The plot goes nowhere, the actingcan't be taken seriously, the dialog is ridiculous, the humor is notfunny and the action scenes are lame. It feels so long and it runs only70 minutes. How can someone be proud and put his name on the screen aswriter, producer and director for that ? Even Billy Zane and EricRoberts who made bad movies should be ashamed for doing this one. Ihope that people who keep bashing Uwe Boll take a look at this one.They'll know what a really bad movie looks like. That is terrible and Ihope the director will stop doing movies and choose to work in anotherfield.

This is supposed to be an international political thriller.
This is the first time I have EVER complained about a movie. It was sobad that I purposely joined IMDb.com to write a review. The acting isvery poor (a real joke)! Robyn Givens actually gave the bestperformance of the cast-which isn't saying much! Eric Roberts must haveknown this film would flop. It shows in his demeanor. I kept wonderingwhat was wrong with him. Roberts usually gives a decent performance.Poor Billy Zane tried to give it a shot but the writing and directingseemed to be done by amateurs. I couldn't make it through the film andhad to shut it off because I didn't want to waste my time. I plan toread reviews here at IMDb before renting my next movie.

Stay Away from this.
I don't usually make reviews, but in this case, I felt it necessary todo so for the good of mankind.
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. On a scale of 1-10, Igave it 1, but only because I couldn't choose 0 or lower.
All that ever happens in this film is talking, and half the time it'soff-topic and supported by terrible acting.
The acting is bad, the plot/story is bad, the action is bad. Take myadvice and stay away from this.
I can never get back the hour and a bit that I lost while watchingthis, but I can hopefully help you to avoid making the same mistake.

Awful is too kind a word
The only other reviewer calls this "feature" awful. Trust me when I saythat is too kind a word. I usually try to find something redeeming inmost films I watch, but there is simply nothing here. I often wonder,when I see productions like these with big names in them (Zane,Roberts, Givens-does she count?), if those people are desperate formoney. I know Zane just had a show recently on ABC that was canceled,and Roberts does some decent work here and there, but theirdecision-making skill have to be called into question when they attachtheir names to this.
Subplots that are sort of relevant but don't really make sense anddon't come to a resolution, bad acting all around, horrible editing andshot selection, horrific special effects, and production value thatlooks as if it was shot with a hand-held digital camera all contributeto this "fine" feature.
Avoid at all costs. Please. I beg of you....

I turned it off after 20 minutes...
Oh dear, very few films have made me stop watching before they'refinished. This film made me stop watching it before it had reallystarted!
The acting is like something you might see on a Soap Opera or Sci-Fichannel movie. The fake accents are awful. Not one character in thefilm made me believe they weren't just reading lines from a script.
20 Minutes in I decided that I couldn't take anymore of this tripe soturned it off. Looking at the other reviews of this 'movie' it appearsI saved myself from wasting time.
I didn't even get to see Billy Zane much, then again how many goodmovies has he been in???
The trailer made it look watchable but it's not!!!

Awful
May be the worst movie I have ever seen. Plot, Acting, Dialogue - allcompletely awful.
If you feel like hating life for 1hr 15min just watch it.
Wow - how does stuff like this get made? And why did I watch it? Thestory is just painful. Half the movie takes place in a campaignfund-raising scene. Seriously they couldn't afford more extras? And thecharacters in that scene are just too painful. There are some wackysubplots that just go nowhere.
The acting is almost comical and feels like a high school actingproject or something. wow.
