XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

K_ash10 The plot follows a man who discovers he has been brainwashed to kill a government official. This film was very good. It is a well made thriller that doesn't seem like it got the kind of audience that it deserved. Yeah it does have some lacking parts but none the less still holds up pretty well. I actually didn't know this film existed until a friend told me about it and they loved it, so I just had to see it. It is a very underrated suspenseful film with a good story and some great performances from Michael Dudikoff, who I had never seen in a film before but really impressed me with this film. Also Heather Langenkamp, best known for the Nightmare On Elm Street films, did really well and she also impressed me by proving that she could be great as a drama film actress as well as a horror film actress.

Maziun This movie is Bad. It's an action/thriller with convoluted plot of evil scientists, implanted memories, and a political assassination. It's a pale imitation of "The Manchurian candidate" with a little bit of "Total recall" thrown in. I strongly suggest that you should watch those movies. If you have already seen them , then watch them again. Just don't waste your time on "Fugitive mind".The story allows Michael Dudikoff ("American ninja") to do a bit more acting that he has in the past. Dudikoff has always been a capable B actor and he proves it here. He isn't able to save the movie , because the plot sucks. The story is predictable and the action is terribly lame. The movie drags almost all the time and I was fast-forwarding it at few places. You won't be satisfied either if you're a thriller or action movie fan. It's a cheaply made movie that will satisfy only the most desperate and tasteless viewers. This is lame movie that isn't even "so bad , it's good". Don't waste your time. If you like Dudikoff better watch "American ninja" or "Avenging force". I give it 1/10.

Miss_MiChiMi This movie is getting bad ratings because it deserves them. Do not be fooled, this is not a science fiction movie. It is a drama revolving around a plot to assassinate a politician.I have been a Michael Dudikoff fan for about 15 years. I have to say this is one of his worst films. The plot is underdeveloped. The acting is terrible, except for Langenkamp and Dudikoff. They do good jobs with what they are given. Michelle Greene however definitely deserves a mention here. Her idea of acting here is walking around in miniskirts and trying to convey "the ruthless woman" that lurks within her. She fails miserably. Hedison is miscast here. He does not present an authoritative figure, which his character is supposed to be. He comes across as confused and out of his element, more as a puppet than a decision maker.The visuals are never quite right; every scene being too dark, too bright, filmed too closely, filmed too far away, etc. The movie definitely could have been better. The sound is horrible. Even with surround sound and the volume being loud enough to produce the "static background" effect, the actors words are inaudible in some cases.I suggest passing this one up. If you want to see a good Dudikoff film, try Avenging Force, Strategic Command, the Silencer, or Soldier Boyz.

Andras_J First of, I don't believe this movie is getting such a hard time in reviews. I thought it was very good. Although Michael Dudikoff is the dominent lead I think Heather Langenkamp stole the movie. And this is the only reason I bought this, because of her. Because of her roles as Nancy in the Nightmare on elm street movies. For a Heather fan this is a true gem! But I discovered even more reasons to like this. The scientifical intellagence, the suspensfull unpreciatble storyline, the action and everything in between. I was on edge throught it trying to understand as it had a complex and clever story line! It kept you watching! This movie has made me a Michael Dudikoff fan also. This could had been a masterpiece but instead is in comferbale position of the best straight to video movie ever. ALTHOUGH, it did actually get a limited theatrical release in the USA and Canada. Remember that! But it does have some bad qualities. Heather and Michael were great leading roles, but some of the other actors. The acting was weak from some.In my oppinion this movie does not deliver the sci-fi good of "aliens" or "terminator" but is a damm good sci-fi flick that is worth the buy! Given a international release this could had been a international hit but unfortunatly is relitivly unkown accross Europe. It does lack in places. But if your a fan of the lead actors and like a bit of science mixed with action, do buy this film!I give this movie a solid 8 out of 10
