...it starts with Director Fred Olen Ray. The guy as of late has gone into doing made for cable Christmas movies, but he also does 'erotic' thrillers, bad action movies like this and really, his entire ouvre is slightly better than anything The Asylum pumps out. He may have worked for them as well. This lame 'action' fest is basically a rip off/mish mash of Die Hard and Goldfinger (the bad guys feel that blowing up a prison with a nuclear bomb will make the US attack the Middle East, yeah, I shook my head too). Fortunately for the side of good, a very bad acting Policeman, who foiled a Skyjacking but killed a few too many people, is in the prison! The prisoners are also willing to help since they (der) don't want to get blown up by the nuclear weapon! There's also some eye candy in Landon Hall (who doesn't get naked unfortunately) as a reporter who notices nothing and adds little to this lame story. Anyhow, it's basically a snoozefest and I recommend it for insomniacs anyhow. I wish IMDb would stop with this six hundred words stuff. It's getting tiring.
