    Not bad

    This film had great possibilities had it had a bigger budget, better acting and realised Daniel Baldwin is by far the worst actor among his brothers as he makes a pretty poor hero and sleepwalks through his role. Malcolm Mcdowell as his usual hammy villain,is poorly underused with about 3 lines throughtout the movie. the guy from star trek should definatley stick to Star trek

    Don't be mislead by the hilarious quote on the box

    'anyone waiting for terminator 3 should look no further''

    could have been great but as it is most people will have seen this kind of thing made better in the past

    I never knew Levar Burton was such a bad actor!

    The main problem with this movie is that most of the actors are out of their league with this kind of genre.

    I had not really seen Levar Burton in much else, but he really does NOT have much of a handle on playing the heavy/the villain. Cuz he really stinks up the joint here.

    The chick (stacy haiduk) is not too good either.

    And the guy who played a role in Seinfeld had best stick to comedy.

    Baldwin is not that great, either, although he does a better job than anyone else but Carter, who acts serviceably.

    The two "agents" are pretty bad, too!

    So basically this movie does not have much in the way of acting.

    However it has nice production values and a nice stylish look to it.

    And the script is not that bad; not great, but not bad.

    Not a bad movie to watch if you have some time to waste, but nothing sepecial.

    Time travelers attempt to change their bleak future in our time.

    In this unwatchable "story" of four time travelers who come to our time from what appears to be a post apocalyptic future, Daniel Baldwin, in a performance where he is mostly catatonic, attempts to rally his three compatriots to stop the evil doings of Malcolm McDowell. It seems there was more to the story at some point in the making of it, but what would amount to the "good parts" seem to have ended up on the cutting room floor.

    Just so dull.

    Characters you just don't care about. With a story so dull, you would have a cure for insomnia. It's not bad in a good way, its's very bad in a bad way.

    Yesterday's Target (1996)

    Directed by Barry Samson. Starring Daniel Baldwin, Stacy Haiduk, T.K. Carter, LeVar Burton, Malcolm McDowell, Richard Herd, Page Mosley, David Netter, Trevor Goddard, Tom Poster. (R)

    Time travelers with superpowers are hunted by the host of "Reading Rainbow" in this D-grade sci-fi thriller. Baldwin (who couldn't look more like his "30 Rock"-era brother, Alec, even with an assist from deepfake tech) mumbles and mutters his way through the film without a lick of charisma or earnestness; as for Burton, he trades in Geordi's visor for a cowboy hat and looks exactly as threatening with it on as you'd expect. The story tries for twists and turns by presenting the action in a non-linear fashion, but it just makes a muddle of all the goings-on; not even McDowell's hammy villain (which he can do in his sleep) can liven things up. What little action can be found is generic and poorly directed/edited. There are the kernels for a decent genre potboiler here, but don't waste your time scouring this wasteland of entertainment to find them.

    17/100
