Emilio Estevez stars as Alex Furlong, a racecar driver from 1991, who is just about to experience a deadly crash in his Formula Atlantic. But at the last moment Alex finds himself transported to the streets of New York in 2009. He is saved from certain death and zapped into the future by 21st-century bounty hunter Vacendak (Mick Jagger), who wants to take over Alex's body. Alex escapes Vacendak's clutches and decides to look up an old girlfriend. When he locates Julie (Rene Russo), he enlists her support to help him from being captured by Vacendak. Much to Alex's surprise, he discovers that Julie now works as a top executive for a giant corporation presided over by McCandless (Anthony Hopkins). Julie, separated from Alex for almost twenty years, must decide whether to renew their relationship. But there is not much time for thought by either party, since Vacendak is still coming after Alex. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
Weak and miscast sci-fi actioner. The likes of Hopkins and Russo are wasted here.
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Absolutely moronic, and therefore quite fun in certain spots.
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...another preposterous action saga with more noise and running around than common sense.
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...a trite screenplay, limp pacing, and lackluster acting.
