It would be unfair to comment that Adrenalin is boring at all. Although it was a low budget Pyun film, it has its moments. Although I watched the movie on TV, I still got some excitement. Not bad as a B grade thriller for mediocre audience like me! One thing I am still confused about, in the beginning of the movie it reads "Romania, western Europe", but the movie trailer says it is Boston.Another plot hole of the film, to me, is if the guy who was infected by a virus something like rabies, seems to be sane and very intelligent. How could he be so clever and retain his mental composure? He was supposed to be delirious or in coma instead. I don't think the writer cared about this details. 3 out of 10, for the sake of the face value of Lambert, my icon.

~Spoiler~ Adrenalin: Fear the Rush is another of those weird action/sci-fi/horror hybrids where you wish they would just pick one genre and stick with it. Yes, this is an Albert Pyun movie so that should prepare you for the worst. Pyun's "better" films consist of Nemesis and Cyborg so I wasn't expecting much going in, thankfully. Actually, I couldn't believe there were no robots in it. What the film does have is completely one dimensional characters. How Pyun manages to get decent actors in his movies amazes me. In Adrenalin, we get Natasha Henstridge (hot off species) as the rookie cop and Christopher Lambert as the haggard "I've seen it all" cop. Throw in Pyun regular Norbert Weisser and the underused Andrew Divoff and that's your cast. The main plot has our cops tracking an unknown suspect (who looks like a reject from The Hills Have Eyes) through an abandoned prison. That is the movie we are watching. Now, there are subplots that make NO sense whatsoever and are complete padding (and the movie still clocks in at only 77 minutes). One subplot is that the suspect has a virus and will "go hot" in so many hours. This is NEVER elaborated on. Nor is it understood how simply killing him stops the virus. Another subplot involves Henstridge buying a fake passport so she can cross the border or something. Who knows. I'm getting frustrated thinking about it. Watch The Hunted or Gunmen if you want to see Lambert at his low budget best.

While I agree to a certain extent that sometimes the gloomy atmosphere in this flick is catchy, I agree with most of the users that Adrenalin is going nowhere. It's a simple cat and mouse movie in a abandoned place, with lots of inconsistencies.For example, the policemen's American names along with the fact that the movie should depict Boston contradicts with the Romanian police uniforms (look at the flag on the patches strapped on their shoulders) and their cars (by the way you'll never find cars so old and rusty even in the 70' thrash Italian movies!!!) with the "Policia" name. One clear sign that this is a very low budget movie, shot probably in one of these cheap Eastern-Europe countries.Forget about the whole movie. I should have known better, that the this was going to be a terrible one, after seeing Christophe Lambert name on the VHS.

(May have spoilers)Fine, I admit it. I panick like hell with any horror film. HOwever, being a huge Lambert fan, I could not resist buying this one (it was $2, after all). The director is Albert Pyun. With low budget, he's done some great stuff ("Mean Guns"), some acceptable stuff ("Blast"), and disasters ("Captain America"). This one would fit somewhere between the last two categories. I expected this to suck enormously yet I wasn't highly dissapointed. It's Eastern europe (though it says Boston ¿), and after the Russian government collapsed, there's something killing people. To get this supposedly ordinary killer, the rookie Delon (Natasha Hensdrige, "Species") and other cop are sent to stop him. The other cop soon is killed and she is sent backup, among them Lemieux, a "distinguished" officer (Christopher Lambert). These four start to chase the creature around and that's the whole film.The main character is the lovely Natasha, and not the Lamberto, who is always either getting shot (hang on -- you were shot, you broke a leg... this is not Highlander, right?), or buoying her to follow the thing. How come she ended here, I wonder if this wasn't to prove that she can do a film without showing her boobs.Andrew Divoff makes a secondary appearance here, probably promised to have a bigger role (in "Blast) or after that film, he was doing a favour to Albie.The rest of the cast is somewhat fine. The filming is great for the little budget, and it's not bad. It's just one of Pyun's "location films", where everything happens in the same place.It deserves a 5 so I give it a 5.
