You know when Thomas Jane and Bruce Willis show up in the same movie it’s time for an early night. This stuff has been done better, by other movies. CGI muzzle flashes, lousy production values, terrible acting. Sometimes the laughs continue with ever so brief glimpses of the old Willis, such as when he sarcastically asks a zombie if it’s been working out. The production values are lousy, the horror ineffective - is the viewer supposed to be bent in two laughing during scenes of gory terror? Probably not. It’s almost like someone is pointing a gun at him off screen. Some scenes featuring a holographic Willis have him appearing even more aggrieved than usual, with a true I have contempt for this whole miserable affair look on his face, matched with the delivery of his lines. ![]() ![]() Surprisingly, Willis is in the movie for the duration (a very sore 90 minutes) but unsurprisingly, he’s wearing the aforementioned scowling, dejected face of disapproval. ![]() When the ship is taken over by zombies, Willis must take up arms with his surviving crew mates to stop them. Bruce Willis (and his double) play a janitor on the ship, who enjoys swigging out of his whiskey stash with his earnest how the fuck did I get here? face. The thing is CGI of course, not that you’ll see it much as it moves between the bowels of its victims, turning them into murderous zombies. The passengers of a space ship come under attack from a stowaway a near-sighted killer slug.

This is quite an accomplishment for a film when all the viewers know how it will end!! The real life Hanssen is spending life in prison and O'Neill immediately resigned from the bureau for the "normal" life of a Washington attorney. Despite the weakness, the story is strong enough to overcome this and maintain the quasi-thriller feel. It is just implausible to believe Phillipe could ever pass the FBI entrance exam, much less outsmart the guy who outsmarted the entire bureau for two decades.
