Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

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

cmv32261 Vast majority who reviewed this movie caught it on DVD, so they do not have the unique perspective I have viewing it via Netflix Streaming. Ms Henstridge was between the ages of 21 and 22 during the filming of this movie, still had a better than average figure particularly a nice tight tush. During the filming of the movie Impact somewhere between 2007 and 2008 when Ms Henstridge was between the ages of 33 and 34 her Gluteus Maximus was far from firm. First review posted which I conclude is like a benchmark review, because it asks stupid questions like did you find this review helpful. No system for rating movies is helpful especially since most are rated and reviewed by idiotic children between the ages of 10 and 32, yes you heard me correctly. People in the preceding mentioned age range have no taste when it comes to what true artistic cinema is, all today's movie goers care about is Special FX, when you have no talent hacks rehashing old movies, even using stupid plots to explain why things are so much different than the original (i.e.) J.J. Abrams and his bastardization of Star Trek, reply to Abrams and his mindless ST fans, Star Fleet Temporal Police, yes Star Fleet had them and they would have corrected any changes in the time line, being their vessels existed outside the time/space continuum, Temporal shields I believe.. Do not know who wrote the first review I read, but cut Natasha a break, so Species did fairly well a year earlier, but you could not refer to her character who spent far more time removing her clothes and using her body to seduce than reciting lines from a script as the star. In Species the plot focused as much on MIchael Madsen and Marg Helgenberger's characters and had far more lines, Ben Kingsley, Forest Whitaker and Alfred Molina also had more dialog. My point being cut her some slack, Lambert though he already was a star, he was not compelled to accept a role in such a poorly written movie. 1 last note, what the hell was the deal with the police cars with the word Policia on them, was not the plot of the movie suppose to have been within U.S. borders?

jjletto Maybe this was the thesis of the director (title: "make a movie using everything you have already seen in other claustrophobic movies"). ALL stereotypes of claustrophobic movie are present. And NOTHING more. It lacks: plot, dialogues, characters (I mean characters that resembles human beings)... Cops act as fearless brainless heroes or coward chicks. The "enemy" seems a sniper genius until five minutes before the end. Then he turns in a dumb stupid sub human villain. It seems the the "plot" was added with glue (and written by a baby), and anyway at the end something seems unclear. Only one thing is not negative: fast pace movie. The first 10 minutes can let you think it's a good movie. Do not trust them ;)

Scarecrow-88 A virus-infected cannibalistic maniac, who needs to be killed because in a certain time he'll supply a plague that will danger mankind as he is a carrier, attacks humans using a curving knife with a spiked handle. Cops Christopher Lambert and Natasha Henstridge must pursue him into ventilation ducts which lead to an old, shut-down prison where he feels right at home. He becomes the predator and the cops become the prey as the prison is quite darkened and the monster is able to move quickly with cunning and skill. He also uses a gun that shoots the hell out of Lambert. Lambert's other partners include Liz Barondes and Norbert Weisser who wind up being hunted as well. As Weisser goes for help(there are scientists in quarantine suits on their way and Andrew Divoff is the leader who understands what is wrong with the maniac on the loose..if only he'd share with the rest of us), the other three must fend for themselves in an environment the quarry understands a lot more than them it seems. Once the maniac riddles Lambert and Barondes with bullets it'll be up to Henstridge to save them.Surprisingly suspenseful with a lingering foreboding due to the decrepit, darkly lit prison setting. Director Albert Pyun decides to close his camera in on the killer's ferocious fangs and blood-shot eye. Most of the time, he's shrouded in darkness. Pyun mostly shoots everyone up close with long shot sequences mainly of the spooky corridors where the killer could pop out at the cops at any time. The film, though, doesn't have much of a plot other than the killer trapping our heroes in the prison. This horrifying future where plagued humans are separated from the healthy isn't given enough treatment. Pyun tended to shoot way too many facial shots barely giving the viewer any breathing room. He edits fast as well keeping the action moving at such breakneck speed. The camera rarely sits still. I kind of liked this B-movie for what it is. It doesn't have much of a leg to stand on, but with what little story Pyun(it's his own fault, though, since it was him who wrote it..it seems like he merely designed a chase'n'attack flick) has he makes an effective little no-budget creeper.

ultrasroma1975 While I agree to a certain extent that sometimes the gloomy atmosphere in this flick is catchy, I agree with most of the users that Adrenalin is going nowhere. It's a simple cat and mouse movie in a abandoned place, with lots of inconsistencies.For example, the policemen's American names along with the fact that the movie should depict Boston contradicts with the Romanian police uniforms (look at the flag on the patches strapped on their shoulders) and their cars (by the way you'll never find cars so old and rusty even in the 70' thrash Italian movies!!!) with the "Policia" name. One clear sign that this is a very low budget movie, shot probably in one of these cheap Eastern-Europe countries.Forget about the whole movie. I should have known better, that the this was going to be a terrible one, after seeing Christophe Lambert name on the VHS.
