PodBill Just what I expected

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Thy Davideth The goodness Split Second offers is that it's well paced, the action is fun, it's a little bloody and gory, Rutger kicks ass as usual and the monster villain is actually creepy and cool looking. The let downs is the horrendous acting and the mentally retarded dialogue that came with it. Also I would of loved to see the monster in plain view more often but eh. Can't have it all I suppose. Oh and its production value is low just in case you cared. I don't.

Kitarl This movie is unashamedly ridiculous and that's why you should watch it. It doesn't qualify as So Bad it's Good, it's just a decent B-Movie. The principles are well played – you get what you expect from Hauer's unhinged Stone and Duncan's Dick Durkin is a delight as he slowly comes to realise what's actually going on.Highlight is the "bigger guns" scene.It is very much a straight to video affair – but it's in the best of what that category can offer.

mikesmultimedia I admit, I did reflect on how Rutger Hauer had gotten out of shape since Bladerunner 10 years earlier. But then we all are probably guilty of a little makeup handed over to us by time. Anyway, the movie is entertaining and enjoyable.Much like wearing your favorite comfortable pair of jeans to Walmart to buy some mundane thing like bananas. You slap on your clothes, hop into your car, drive up to your favorite parking space at your local Walmart. And before you know it, you're in and out, back home.It was revealing to see Kim Cattrall, who familiar face and hairstyle brought out memories of her in Star Trek - The Undiscovered Country (1991) where she portrayed Lt. Valeris. The movie definitely has lots of Bladerunner crime noir moods in it.You could even say the place where this story takes place could easily have been a few blocks away from where the characters of Bladerunner were at.It's as if you could zoom out of the set of Bladerunner with a satellite image, and then move over to another part of that city, zoom in and find these characters running around chasing the deadly path of the killer monster.The creature: The creature was definitely held back and revealed in layers, adding to the suspense. The audience is permitted to experience the entire creature eventually. Not like other last minute reveals where you only see the head, or a hand.Acting: I found the ability of Hauer's character to play both a shallow and insensitive bad ass cop, while at the same time portray genuine feelings of intimacy and compassion on the screen to be successfully accomplished. These are evidence mostly during the intimate moments between him and Catrall's character. Where the alternative is many of these types of "Cop vs Creature" films leave out any interpersonal depth, especially between a partner of theirs in the story. If at all, only a bedroom scene, but here, there feel the weight of their feelings throughout the film when it lets them. On that note, bringing depth to the film, Hauer remains consistent.Hauer ability to be a menace to his profession, and to the people he interacts with, he is quickly forgiven throughout the film where he is permitted to delve into deep, complicated themes of his personality surrounded around devotion, and a sense of purpose for life. A balance all to often forgotten in similar films.As in Hauer's portrayal of the character he played in Bladerunner. There, his character left behind a violent, and bloody trail. However, the purpose of which was to seek a way to overcome the expiration date he was body was programmed with. In that sense, he is forgiven at the end of the movie when, in the rain, he reveals his deep insatiable desire for life.

CinefanR "Split Second" is the epitome of "90's fun", or whatever you want to call this fantastic brand of entertainment. If you appreciate classics like "Big Trouble in Little China", "Tango and Cash", "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai…", it means you have the sense of humor to add this one to the collection. And "Split Second" is simply splendid because:1. It is very funny on all levels. (mostly so bad it's good, but it's hilarious, intentionally or not) 2. It stars Rutger Hauer as a flawed, sugar-eating super-cop of the future. The man rules! It's clear he's having a lot of fun with his part, you've got to admire that. Very, very funny (although bloody), insane movie with a laughable plot, and it doesn't take itself seriously. I mean, when you indulge yourself in a guilty pleasure, you should go all the way, what the hell… So, "Split Second" is the perfect choice.
