Timebomb

All I can really say about this film is you must watch it for a complete goof when they shot this. at the end of the movie, there are 2 shots of people falling off the roof. in the 3/4 top down shot, watch the actors fall onto the blue stunt aig bag. You can't miss it, the actors even have time to get up off the matress.

With elements from the many attempts of brainwashing by the US military we have here some action filled thriller from the point of view of one of the victims. It was probably a story from the beginning with some time travel elements, as the amount of lives and resources to kill a medium level politician is absurd, unless he becomes very important in the future - but they had to cut out that part of the story for budget reason, but they kept the name of the movie. With some popcorn and some friends - this is a great early 1990´s action/thriller movie to enjoy.

A story spliced together from similar movie plots this is basically a chase movie with the hero Eddie Kay eluding his homicidal pursuers while trying to discover what is going on and why he has disturbing flashbacks. It has gunfights, fights, explosions and mystery so am not sure why I found it a bit bland and non-engaging. It has a fine cast including Michael Biehn, Richard Jordan, Billy Blanks, Robert Culp (hardly in it) and Raymond St. Jacques but the script and dialogue let them down. And unfortunately Patsy Kensit (implausible as a psychotherapist) plays her role inspired by the Open Mouth School of Acting. Other reviewers rate this film higher than me so perhaps I'm missing something.

Director and writer Avi Nesher who also produced another classic flick Automatic 1995 has created a gem in Timebomb. Starring Michael Biehn has also been in other classic flicks, Stiletto 2008, Planet Terror 2007, The Rock 1996, Tombstone 1993, American Dragons 1998, Aliens 1986, Chain of Command 2000 and The Terminator 1984. I enjoyed the violence and dream sequences. If you enjoyed this as much as I did then check out other classic dreams flicks, The Cell 2000, Jacob's Ladder 1990, New Nightmare 1994, Nightmare Concert (A Cat in the Brain) 1990, A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge 1985, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors 1987, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master 1988, Lost Highway 1997, Identity 2003, Reincarnation 2005, Manchurian Candidiate 1962, The Never Dead 1979, Phantasm II 1988, The City of Lost Children 1995, Brainstorm 2002, Deadly Dream 1971, Nightmare Detective 2006, Total Recall 2012 and They 2002.

I am able to admit that the implausibility levels of this movie tend to rise steadily through the entire film; but I enjoyed the chemistry between Kensit and Biehn. At times it also becomes suspenseful. A lot of the scenes leave you scratching your head or wanting more, but I think this film sets out and does its job quite well. It was also good to see Mike Biehn as I really haven't seen him in anything else besides THE TERMINATOR, (I did see THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE; so so). Other than that I can't say much more except this movie reminds me of the good 'ol late night low-budget action flicks they used to show back in the early 90's on CINEMAX like PRAYER OF THE ROLLERBOYS or CLASS OF 1999!

The minute I saw Patsy Kensit's lips, I knew I had seen her before. It was driving me crazy. I was thrown off by the Hungarian character she played. I have to admit that she was the only reason I watched this movie, and I wasn't disappointed. She didn't give the full exposure reported in Angels and Insects or Shelter Island, but we did get the view we saw in Lethal Weapon 2 - I finally remembered that awesome performance as the South African secretary! Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Rock, Terminator 2: Judgment Day) was the simple watch repairer that didn't know who he was and why everyone was trying to kill him. He did OK, but Kensit stole the show. You've seen the basic script before in In the Line of Fire, done much better by Eastwood. Blue, Brown Redd, Green, and Grey were a little over-the top and no match at all, but they provided some exciting moments. I probably would have given it a higher rating had I just not felt that I had seen it all before.
