A real B-movie, badly directed and written and only enjoyable if you're a fan of lowest-common-denominator cinema. Arye Gross, of TV's ELLEN, is the nominal hero, a normal guy caught up in an outer space prison break in which a gang of bad guys have to be subdued. Former Bond girl Maryam d'Abo co-stars as a tough pilot alongside various cult faces including Nicholas Worth and Martin Kove. Jeff Speakman, a straight-to-video martial arts actor, is cast against type as the overacting villain of the piece. Not good at all, with no decent action or FX to recommend it either.

Criminals going to a penal colony in space (somewhere) escape, unfreeze one of the prisoners and... well am not sure what follows. There is a lot of running around, shooting and mini explosions but it doesn't amount to thrills of any kind. A lot of it is just silly. Most of the characters are uninteresting. Jeff Speakman as the master criminal McMasters is dull, Maryam d'Abo as pilot Teegs is annoying, Nicholas Worth is wasted and Arye Gross as comic relief Riley is neither comic nor a relief. Even Ricco Ross, a fine thespian, couldn't make much of his role. Jeffrey Meek as the flamboyant Villum does add a bit of entertainment value. Am feeling generous giving the movie 4/10.

A science fiction movie set on a penal colony planet. There the similarity with Alien 3 ends. Most of the bad guys act like gay porn stars, the ex bond Girl, Maryam d'Abo, naturally can't act. A slight saving Grace is Ayre Gross, a well known TV actor, who is the best thing in a bad movie.
