This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah you definitely captured that 'so bad it's good' vibe.
This movie is a terrible effort to tell a story we already have heard a thousand times before. This pseudo-investigation that concludes itself by an 'it's not a human, it's a monster' so-called plot twist is just dreadful.
Music (excepted the one used in the ending credits) is lame, lighting is terrific, shots are bad, some whole sequences are impossible to understand, characters suddenly change their personnalities in the middle of nothing, women are objects all along, weapons are made in plastic, the focus is non-existent on some shots.
The environment looks great at the beginning but is so under-exploited it's a shame. What does global warming have to do with anything we see after the first scene ? Acting is just bad. The scenario doesn't know where it is going. The ending is really disappointing and unsatisfying. It bring more questions than actual answers to the major mess we've just witnessed. Action scenes are expeditive.
Thanks for nothing.… Expand

An eccentric loner detective, Harley Stone (Rutger Hauer),teams up with his new straight-laced partner, Dick Durkin, to take down a vicious heart-ripping predatory monster. In a flooded future London, Detective Stone hunts a serial killerAn eccentric loner detective, Harley Stone (Rutger Hauer),teams up with his new straight-laced partner, Dick Durkin, to take down a vicious heart-ripping predatory monster. In a flooded future London, Detective Stone hunts a serial killer who murdered his partner, and has haunted him ever since. He soon discovers what he is hunting might not be human. Director Tony Mayham keeps the enjoyably absurd story zipping along at a snappy pace, generates a good deal of tension, stages the exciting action with flair, and delivers a satisfying serving of bloody splatter along with some tasty gratuitous female nudity. Moreover, this movie further benefits not only from a sharp and wickedly amusing sense of self-mocking humor, but also a spot-on giddy'n'pulpy sensibility that cuts right to the chase with a refreshing dearth of pretense. Hauer and Duncan make for a delightful mismatched duo; they receive sturdy support from Kim Cattrall as the spunky Michelle McLaine. A fun flick.… Expand
