About this movie

In the near future, the city has been reduced to a dystopian wasteland due to the scourge of 'Hype,' a powerful narcotic that induces a simultaneous euphoric and aggressive state in its users. Kingpin Boz impulsively asks a hyper to commit suicide for his own amusement; later, the girl's teenage sister, Lizard, slips into Boz's lair and steals his Hype supply in revenge. Lizard flees across the street to a decaying VFW hall, where she encounters Vietnam veteran Fred Parras and a contingent of ageing soldiers who spend their days reminiscing about their lost youth, growing irrelevancy, and impending deaths. Presented with a final battle and opportunity to go down fighting rather than pass away ignominiously from old age, Fred and his men decide to protect Lizard and wage a final war against Boz, his henchmen, and the hypers.

I'd never heard of this film until I wandered across it on Google Play, and that's a bit of a shame. It reminded me of a John Carpenter movie with its tone, pace, and action. Heavy on the gore with tongue in cheek story and action, it will satisfy most aficionados of 80s action movies, which it bears more resemblance to than anything made in the last decade. Turn your brain off, and enjoy.
