Early in the 21st century, technological advances have made it possible for aging, wealthy people to pay crooks like Vacendak (Mick Jagger) to go back in time, kidnap young victims like race car driver Alex Furlong (Emilio Estevez) and deliver them to the elderly clients, who then have their brains transplanted into the healthy bodies. Furlong manages to break free from his captors, but as a fugitive, he finds that the world of the future is a bleak, dangerous place.

Fat Guys at the Movies

Tragically slow-paced and plodding, this attempt at a cyberthriller actioner quickly runs out of gas.

A relentlessly lowbrow but well-paced sci-fi actioner.

...an intriguing sci-fi premise that's employed to mostly watchable yet perpetually erratic effect...

Interesting concept, the real problem is that it's very late 80s/early 90s in feel. You can see it in the reviews too, older reviews score it about mid. Newer audiences expect a bit better on some fronts but also have zero attention span. It's not as bad as the ratings.

Unless its based on a true story, 80s movies should be made in the 1980s; not in the second decade of the 21st century. Don't downgrade to the 1980s. It doesn't work. You're just 30+ years late.

Terrible, cheap-looking sci-fi action flick with a hilarious take on what 2009 NYC would look like - attire that's either "hobo chic" or "Spaceballs storm trooper," cars that resemble 1980s bullpen carts. I remember this came out right after "Silence of the Lambs," so Anthony Hopkins was very prominent in the ads. Turns out this was a quick paycheck for him, as he's barely in this until the last act.

Jagger seems to be having a bit of fun here, and Plummer steals her few scenes as a foul-mouthed nun! They each provide some much needed humor in this otherwise unimaginative waste of time. However, the low-budget sets and effects are made-for-TV quality, and the sci-fi plot is neither original nor compelling. Also, the action scenes and car chases are generally flat though sometimes superficially exciting. But there's no suspense at all in the climatic "mind-transfer" scene plus, the ending is laughable—unless you can imagine Emilio Estevez as as your future world's supreme leader, even with Russo (who's radiant here) at your side!
