Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
cancron this was a pretty good movie and isn't nearly as bad as the title would imply.the few cameo's in this movie become interestinng with known actors popping up from time to time.the funny things that happen during the movie are the small cut scenes from other movies, like for example ; The character lazurus's house blows up and the scene was blatantly cut out from the movie "Last action hero". you know that scene, where arnolds second cousins house gets blown up right when the boy enters the movie world.give this movie a shot, it's worth a watch.
IrishFlowr I thought this movie was totally cool. I loved Brandon Karrer,(Laz) I saw it on the TV one night and I watched the entire thing. It was totally cool. Any pictures from the movie? I love how Laz comes back from the dead, supposedly and then he ends up being the bad guy. I thought he was totally hot. I want to try and find a picture of him if I can. It says he is in Surf Ninjas he is one of the dancers in the Baba Ram dance. Totally cute. I want to write a letter to him someday. Well, anyone who like Killer Bees, or those creepy insect movies, this is definitely one you should see.Sarahlane
cujo2 Oke I confess, I bought this film. To my defense I can say that it was on sale in a local supermarket and the box said there were bugs, lots of them.So when I popped in the movie I saw the whole action part of redheat with the busses ( only 1 person mentioned this while reviewing, am I that old:), the last action hero bit with the exploding house and the rush hour bit with the exploding floor. Oh yes and the exploding warehouse bit from that stinker with that guy from the matrix, forgot the title and I am too lazy to check for it, the movie isn't worth it.on the bright side, well it does have its share of explosions. that are out of place even if you don't spot the films there ripped out of. The general setting is so cheap every B movie veteran can smell something fishy while watching it. But one can laugh about the crappy insects that ran straight out of a computer, the fact that the jeep the main character drives has a broken mirror in once scene and a fixed mirror in the other and one can giggle when seeing the uber roach at the end.Which is by the way the only decent idea in the whole movie. As already stated the plot is not there at all, uncle Mickey just walked on the wrong set - this guy looks like utter s**t btw, what has happened to him- and the very important plot question ( how are the bugs controlled) is forgotten.My advice, let someone else rent it ( and let someone else pay for it) fall asleep until the last few minutes and then catch the uber roach which is also crappy but shows at least a cool idea behind it.And on a sidenote, why on earth are movie companies stock footaging the action scenes from their movies to stinkers like this? I have seen it plenty of times already and it truly shocks me to see this??
dylan1734 The only reason I rented this movie from Netflix was because a very good friend of mine worked on it. Even he said it was awful, and that he only took the job to keep his bills paid.But my god, what a piece of absolute rubbish! Aside from the pitiful performances, a plot that made little sense, the cheapest CGI since the Atari 2400, a script with no punch, and a directorial style that lacks .. well, direction .. it's not a bad film.How, exactly, did "Lazarus" command the cockroaches? What exactly was the point of Mickey Rourke's character? We know why Mickey Rourke was hired, he was the celebrity "draw" that's supposed to make us viewers say "Wow, it must be a great movie if it has Mickey Rourke!" And when all the cockroaches group together to become one giant cockroach .. well, yeah .. Lame.One positive note; the actor who played Lazarus was actually a pretty good actor. Sure, he had a stupid role and ridiculous lines, but he actually pulled the part off pretty well. He reminded me a little bit of a Benicio del Toro.If you're thinking of renting this movie, do yourself a favor and just stick an ice pick in your eye.
