    Dopey, absurd fun...

  • Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

    The numbing familiarity of everything in the film just makes the cartoonish bits look ridiculous.

  • Stefan Birgir Stefansson, sbs.is

    more one liners than schwarzenegger could dream off

  • Martin Scribbs, Low IQ Canadian

    Exposes the darker side of Benny from L.A. Law.

    Larry Drake plays a demented Doctor who causes a lot of death. It's violent, but not overly gorey. It's not very suspenseful or scary. It's not very funny either. I didn't see anything special about it.
