Gone With The Twins

Despite the wealth of obligatory elements (including an out-of-place sex scene), the tone remains appropriately severe, with an entertainingly destructive finale.

Rated: 5/10

Action film with ambitions beyond it's budget. The film wanted to be kind of a sci-fi Bourne Identity, but on a straight-to-video level of budget. Michael Biehn plays a simple watchmaker, but when someone tries to kill him, it triggers a series of repressed memories that hint (SPOILER ALERT) he used to be a trained assassin. Patsy Kensit plays a psychiatrist who helps him uncover those memories while the two are on the run. Tracy Scoggins, Robert Culp, Richard Jordan, Raymond St. Jacques, Billy Blanks, Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini, and Julie Brown in an uncredited role as a waitress, all appear in the film. Overall, this film has a solid cast with two very good leads, some okay action, but is nothing all that special.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Weak, mediocre action/political thriller movie that has Michael Biehn trying unsuccessfully to reprise his Terminator role in a similar vein, with a watered down version of the last neon sign scene from the original Highlander at the end. Patsy Kensit is also only a weak substitute for Linda Hamilton and is, simply put, a wimp. Same goes for the whole film.

Cheap looking sci-fi thriller with okay performances and Patsy Kensit's boobies.

Craptastic, really. Was this the best they could come up with for Michael Biehn?

The movie itself is neither especially good or terrible, though it will probably keep your interest.
