Review of Split Second (1992) by Clem666 — 02 Nov 2022

Yeah you definitely captured that 'so bad it's good' vibe.

This movie is a terrible effort to tell a story we already have heard a thousand times before. This pseudo-investigation that concludes itself by an 'it's not a human, it's a monster' so-called plot twist is just dreadful.

Music (excepted the one used in the ending credits) is lame, lighting is terrific, shots are bad, some whole sequences are impossible to understand, characters suddenly change their personnalities in the middle of nothing, women are objects all along, weapons are made in plastic, the focus is non-existent on some shots.

The environment looks great at the beginning but is so under-exploited it's a shame. What does global warming have to do with anything we see after the first scene ? Acting is just bad. The scenario doesn't know where it is going. The ending is really disappointing and unsatisfying. It bring more questions than actual answers to the major mess we've just witnessed. Action scenes are expeditive.

Thanks for nothing.
