Scorpio One (1998)
6/10
Thriller that doesn't thrill

Spoiler Alert!

I enjoyed this film. Not the way you would enjoy Fracture or Kramer vs. Kramer, but I certainly didn't think it was the "worst movie ever made"! Anyone who thinks that has never been to see Brown Bunny or the Alchemist. I have also heard from several sources that Master of Disguise is beyond awful. Scorpio One is a film that was a good idea, but suffered from a weak script and a low budget. The acting was adequate, just not great. Michael Monks was good as the traitorous co-pilot who still harbors guilt. George Murdock as well was very good. None of the cast were guilty of over-acting (a common enough phenomenon in B pictures like this.) And it's always great to see Robin Curtis. I thought her acting was good and honest. Unfortunately, as a hostage for part of the time, the script gave no opportunity for her to show off her quirky sense of humor, which is always her best quality. Not a film to actively seek out, but certainly not the worst thing to find late on a dull Saturday night.
