MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Nick Damian This movie has a plot...unlike many.It has a reason for the evil corporations to exist and actually BE evil.It has action, suspense and martial arts...with a touch of mystery and drama.While the future was made a little bit too futuristic as it is supposed to be 2008 and this review is almost in 2007, it's not impossible to see too far off.Nice pacing, good casting.This goes on my watchable list of movies.If Arnold or Bruce Willis would have headlines, this would have been a blockbuster instead of a straight to video.I'm glad they didn't headline it, because they would have destroyed the lead character with their presence.Eric Roberts was cast great as the father.Cool movie...
w0aq This is a TNT original made for TV movie. Like "Stiletto Dance" - also starring Roberts, it was filmed in Quebec.This is a cool idea, sort of a "Die Hard" meets "The Running Man." Of course, it's not perfect. There are dialogue problems, there are continuity problems, there are acting problems. But hey, it was made for TV.It looks futuristic as it is set in 2008. In some ways, I would think it might be a bit advanced for 2008 and in other ways the CHEESY computer graphics and such look right out of the early 1980's. So you have some exceptional work and some that is not good.In one case, our main character busts the controls off of an elevator and instantly uses a wire touching a resistor to control the movements of the elevator. A bit too far fetched and this is not the only example of such.Also, too much firepower with guys dressed in black uniforms. It becomes mundane when you constantly see black uniformed thugs constantly firing at our hero. C'mon now.The basic premise of the movie is a good idea though: Selling your body for cash now and the delivery of body organs later. Unfortunately, this causes your death - and of course, the company that "buys you" intends to collect on what they purchased. That part is interesting.So, what can we say for this? Well, it stars Eric Roberts and as far as I am concerned this guy can't really do anything wrong. Even in a bad movie, he makes it good. This guy should be starring in blockbusters as far as I am concerned. His acting and presence in this movie is excellent.It's fun to watch and Eric Roberts is in it. Overlook the obvious flaws and it is 90 minutes of entertainment.
skippyroo2000 When I sat down to watch 'Race Against Time' the other day I was not really sure what I was going to get on screen. Even though I had read all the plot summaries, I was unsure of how it would all look and play out in front of me, but I was pleasantly surprised. Although not a big box-office number like 'The Matrix' it has similar qualities that better suit it for small screen. Featuring a concept that is not too hard to imagine ever happening, the film portrays the loving relationship between father and son and a romantic strand which plays out against the main action-packed storyline. There are great performances from all cast and a good script.
Steve-548 This was an enjoyable action packed movie. The hospital scene with Roberts and his son (played by Daniel Magder) was touching. The caring and emotion between father a son was well acted and scripted. Although Magder's part was relatively small his relationship with his father was an integral part of the film. I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. This film scores high on my list.
