Space_Lord's reviews

Man, I picked up a great bargain when I bought this film for half price. It absolutely blew me away! Kirk Douglas stars as (a rather old) retired agent of a top secret government project dealing with psychics and harnessing their powers. Of course, Douglas' son happens to be psychic and is abducted by the project. It's up to our wrinkly ballbreaker to rescue him from the government's manipulative clutches, and he'll need help from another powerful psychic chick to do it. Did I mention at that people tend to bleed copiously when the psychics touch them? Great pace, action and gore will keep most happy, and listen to the advice Mother Knuckles gives Douglas. Priceless!! Also,the movie contains one of the most explosive endings you are ever likely to see!!!

This is the film that pretty much made the Farrelly brothers. They followed this up with Kingpin, There's Something About Mary etc. I can't stand Jim Carrey and can't understand why everyone else does! But in spite of that I can understand why this movie was a big hit. It's just so hilarious watching the dumb idiot friends (played by Carrey and Jeff Daniels) bumble their way from one idiotic situation to another. It's definitely not the most intellectual humour but it easily gets you laughing, poor taste or not. I would recommend watching this when you need a good, hard belly laugh and don't have anything better to do. Enjoy!
