Extremely subtle, gory and fun attempt of an action/sci-fi thriller with the usual Cronenberg trademarks such as machinery of evil and horror from within. The creepy Michael Ironside, the exploding head and the final scanner duel make the film worthwhile.

I'm more of a fan of Cronenberg's later, more commercial work, but this was entertaining...and unsettling. Whenever someone is scanning, Cronenberg used such a high pictched screech that it really helped incorporate me into what was going on. It made those scenes hard to watch, which I believe was the point. Anyway, it works. Also, the famous exploding head scene is still awesome especially compared to the crappy cg way it would've been handled if done today.
My only problems with this were the actors. Not all of them, though. I liked McGoohan (though I am not sure why he was always slouching in every scene) and Ironside has fun, but Lack just seemed inexperienced and cheesy. Some might argue with me, but I he took something away from this movie for me. He's just so damn generic. Still, everyone should at least youtube the head-exploding scene...classic. -
MCT:April 22, 2008Ever since I first saw the cover to this movie, I wanted to see it. Now that I have I am disappointed. I thought it had great potential, but failed to create the fantastical mind bending experience I was longing for. The over the top acting and drawn out staring at each other with our heads tweaking, trying to kill one another, got old quickly. Even the surprise ending was lacking in imagination.

MCT:April 15, 2008Oh dear... this film is on the list of films to see before you die... I started to watch it and I just couldn't... I'm just not good with science stuff and got bored, even with the head exploding! Is this film worth watching? Please, can someone let me know... does it get more interesting?

Though I like Cronenberg's later work a bit better than this one, I'd see it again just for Michael Ironside. I'd recommend this film for any fans of the sci-fi genre who are looking for something a little different.
