Violenza armata a San Francisco

One of the worst films I have seen outside of the horror genre, this snoozer-loser dulls the mind and spirit like a morphine drip, but does nothing to ease the pain. Unlikely story which concerns a nuclear device ticking away on the Golden Gate bridge, and the back-and-forth bickering of political figures as to what should be done about it, is a showcase of unmotivated performances which is teeming with uproarious dialog and paced with the all the steadiness of a three-legged race.

GROUND ZERO suffers from a lackluster and unalluring visual quality distinct to old, cut-rate film, and it somehow manages to flatten the appeal of its picturesque San Francisco environs(making this look more like a film lensed in Baltimore). The door was wide-open for gratuitous violence and cheap thrills for this project, an opportunity left essentially untapped(although the scenes taking place on The Golden Gate Bridge clearly *were* filmed there, marking the one-and-only point of distinction in this movie). By no means recommended, even to foaming-at-the-mouth fans of bad movies. Chances are this won't even cross your path, but in the event that it does, don't dignify its meager existence with so much as a sideways glance.
