2009-10-05 - Product arrived earlier than expected and was as advertised-no problems experienced. Selleck is always good..
A Fine Movie 
2009-07-13 - I saw this at the theater and several times after and have enjoyed it each time. The plot is good, the action is done well. The performances are really good with Tom Selleck as a guy nice as you could get and Gene Simmons as bad as it gets. Simmons' icy stare is perfect for his character. The only weakness I found with the movie as a whole was the young man playing Selleck's son in the movie. Not that he was a terrible actor, but I don't think he was the best for the role. As father/son, they just didn't mesh well, to me. Also, check out the minor cast players and you will see some future stars and even a future academy award winner in very small role.
The movie is set close enough to our time to feel futuristic even to today, but not so far that we can't relate to anything in the movie.
As for the plot, it isn't much we haven't seen before, that's true, but it's done with originality. The movie difinitely doesn't rely on special effects to carry the story.
I recommend this movie without reservation for a fun friday evening.
Classic
2009-06-27 - Tom Selleck in a part somewhat unlike his other rolls but still the highest quality actor. This movie is dated because of the props and sets that were available at that time but the story and script are classic Crichton style, and Kirstie Alley is still dazzlingly beautiful. In addition, you get Gene Simmons as the evil doctor, and a very attractive Cynthia Rhodes as Selleck's police partner.
Predictable, But Definitely Entertaining
2009-04-19 - This was a decent suspense film with a different twist for its day, dealing with robots. The idea has since been copied in a few films.
Here, cops go after runaway robots and after a villain who is trying to steal deadly weapons (gosh, that's original). The special effects are pretty good - especially since this was made over 20 years ago - and I particularly enjoyed watching the heat-seeking bullets fired from the villain's gun. Rock star Gene Simmons, by the way, does a nice job as the bad guy.
As entertaining as this Tom Selleck movie was, it had a B-quality to it with some stupid and predictable dialog. The climactic scenes were very predictable. You just knew certain things were going to happen...and they did. Yet, it was still fun to watch and worth one look. I'd watch it again.
