Spoiler
I watched this movie because it has Jeffrey Combs in it. He played multiple aliens in star Trek DS9 and Enterprise as well as staring in the Reanimator films. Unfortunately, he is only in this film for about 10 minutes.
The premise sounds pretty good but unfortunately the execution is less than stellar. The basic premise is that in the future a guy is sent to jail. In this future jail they put you into suspended hibernation for years at a time. Every time he is thawed out he finds that years have passed while he is still the same age. He gets screwed over by the parole board and the changing laws. Fed up he breaks out. Then he gets rearrested and put into suspended hibernation again. Rinse and repeat. For the whole movie.
That right there is the problem. The movie is basically just him escaping and getting arrested over and over. There's some attempt at making it interesting regarding why he is escaping but it doesn't really matter. There's also his constant lamenting about his daughter who is, of course, growing up as he spends years and years in deep freeze but it doesn't really matter either.
two thumbs down
Help us Jeffrey Combs
You are this film's only hope
please execute him!
