Weighing in at only 76 minutes, it is a nice filler when you have a little time to kill and don't want to get involved with a longer, more engaging film. That's the way I used it, and as such, it served the purpose pretty well. Yes, as reviewers point out, there is a bit of coca-mamie business at the beginning which is irrelevant to the rest of the film, something about a prison area and the need of passports. Forget it, except for a sequence at the very end, it plays no role at all to which you need attend. True also, 95% of the action is in a limited area which seems fully equipped with endless corridors, dungeons and assorted hiding places. To me this simply meant that the whole film was really only what would be a segment of a longer movie. Why worry. Yes, I, too, noticed that the X-man was capable of extraordinary killing power against presumably trained policemen, some of whom wore protective gear, others of whom wore none, with no apparent ill-effects. One can point out other elements which can contribute to a moment's bemusement; however, the point is, that by accepting these without quibble, over-all it is a not bad way to fill 76 minutes. There is action, there are untenable situations from which to escape, there is a lot of shooting, and a woman comes out top-dog. Although, this was not one of his better movies, I like Christopher Lambert, and there was a lot of action.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

I would like to point out that Adrenalin is a very good movie, although short, but it gives a lot in a very short while; something that "bigger movies" couldn't. Slowly dragged plot gets hooked up and Lambert explodes on the screen only to show all those who leaved his name from the big picture in action movies. Lambert and Henstridge look great like partners on screen, there's an interesting sub story with Natasha's daughter. Albert Pyun is a master of B-movies. He guides the overwhelming turbulent thriller on a not predictable way. Weapons and other equipment in movie look a little out of form but this is just a small failure.

This is a horrible movie. As if the plot wasn't bad enough, the acting is even worse, the screen shots are etchy at times and the script, my god, the script just plainly doesn't make any sense. The only question I have about this movie is, did MST3K get their hands on this movie yet?

This film is so awful it would choke any goat that tried to make a meal of it. The entire film plays like a pre-credit sequence a-la any James Bond film, but not nearly as good as any such sequence. The lighting was poor; the editing, sloppy; and the acting . . . Ho! I was more than a little shocked to see that "Alan Smithee" didn't direct it. Do not see this film, I beg you! Learn from the mistakes of others.
