This film features a big burly man battling one of Satan's minions while End of Days had a big burly man battling Satan. Both feature body swapping, and both quite frankly are a bit bad. This one more so than End as the acting is atrocious and I am not talking about Dolph's acting! The combat boring, the nuclear plot point baffling and the female architect annoying as all get out! It is also one of those films where you kind of want to see the bad guy succeed in the hopes of an epic scene with stunning visuals depicting an abyss housing the father of lies, but we do not get that, instead we get lame happy ending.
The story, some sewer workers fall into a hole and find some skeleton and soon a lady architect is trying to uncover its secrets. She finds a key and then the minion comes to take it! That is until Father Dolph comes and rams the minion with his spiked glove! Unfortunately, the minion just takes control of another body, rinse and repeat. Considering the minion is right there all the time, you would think he would have won long ago. So we get bogged down in a police station where they try to do Terminator with a guy that looks like Charles Barkley before going to the nuclear power plant because architect lady thinks this is the best place to hide the key...why not that trench in the ocean? Wouldn't that be way safer and nearly inaccessible?
When Dolph is the best actor in your film you have a problem as it is his physique that is the attraction, not his acting chops. The lady architect is an annoying character, but the people that the minion possess over the course of the film all growl and read their lines like a kid doing a scary voice and are usually over the top bad!
So, this film seemed to have come out before End of Days, but my guess is that they heard that movie was being filmed and they tried to get the jump on it hoping people would think this movie was that movie. That movie was not all that good itself, but way better than this film that just seemed like it wanted to hang in alleys and in filth and getting to the church for the finale was not a big part of anyone's plans. Seriously, how did the minion just take out a room full of armed dudes, but had trouble with one guy?
