The Max Knight character is a blend of James Bond, Derek Flint and Gadget Boy. The movie itself has plot elements similar to Knight Rider 2000. Throw in some Gibson-like speak and this combo makes for a slightly annoying (the villains) yet basically fun movie (and obviously a failed TV pilot). The affable Mr. Landes went on to play a vaguely reminiscent swaggering character in the series Special Unit 2.
This is mediocre sci-fi at its best, and I've seen a lot of mediocre and BAD sci-fi (I have Cinemax). It won't enrich your life, but it won't detract from it either. You may even think of the movie time-to-time and lament how it could have been great but just wasn't quite right.
All-in-all, worth watching if you've got extra time. I'm glad that in the US, Sci-Fi Channel occasionally takes these unpolished gems out of the closet for all to see.
Bonus shirtless scene for Michael Landes fans.
