Bit of an odd duck this. This movie could very well have been a radio play without losing much of the end result. The set design (for as much as there is a set) brings back memories of high-school shop class, Lighting is hit and miss, and during the movie the main character looks blue, pink and 'human colored' every other scene. Same goes for sound, which (for the main character) goes from 'great' to ' speaking into a tin can'. The story itself is engaging enough if you can get past the rest of the movie. That story is told by exposition-style monologues from the main character, fixed dead center in your screen at all times, supplemented by forced-feeling adlibbing and further expositioning by the characters on the radio. Not all actors hide that they are reading their lines from a script very well, so the whole of the movie feels a bit homemade because of it. If you like exposition and filling in the blanks yourself, this might be for you. For the rest of us: Skip this one unless you have nothing else to watch.
Imagine, if you will, your typical low-budget film. Then imagine that movie had its budget cut in half. Furthermore, the movie had to hire a (former) A-List actor, so ANY money they had went to that end. The director, now pennyless, has to fire the prop crew, any and all vfx artists, en most of the camera crew. Editing is farmed out to a nephew, and stunt coordination is done by an art school student on internship. There wasn't even money left over for a plot, or decent actors.
This movie doesn't even tickle the "it's so bad it's good" reflex. It's just a very badly made, straight-to-vhs, low budget pewpew action flick which happens to also star Bruce Willis for reasons unknown. Horrible cinematography, atrocious audio, it really has NO redeeming quality I could find. Would rather be rodgered by a rhino than watch this again,

"No memory. One mission.": That mission clearly wasn't "Find capable actors" or "film on professional camera's". Positive: 10 minutes in and everybody on screen is naked or semi-naked. Negative: You have to watch 10 minutes of the movie to get there. As far as I can tell this is a cross between a zombie-movie, the scene where Neo tries to escape the agents in The Matrix, and Crank. Put together in the worst way imaginable. From weird angles, unnessecary prolonged shots of people starting at eachother to the very stunted and forced-feeling dialog; this is the worst version of the movie it could have been. The (admittedly nicely choreographed) fight scenes redeem the movie somewhat, but are themselves let down by atrocious audio design and frankly insane scoring. Avoid like an infected zombie.
