Bobbie Phillips has the potential - and the body - to be a great action heroine (for further proof, look no further than a little movie called "TC 2000"), but she is disappointingly underutilized in "Chameleon": she begins as a killing machine but, unfortunately, she becomes the guardian and protector of a little boy, which brings out her maternal instincts. If you want to see Bobbie Phillips bonding with a kid for 80 minutes, this is your movie; if you want to see her kicking butt, you're outta luck. I fall into the second camp, so I found the movie - though technically competent for its obviously low budget - talky, dull and unfulfilling. *1/2 out of 4.
... View MoreKam (Bobbie Phillips) is a kind of android 99% human and with the power of camouflage of a chameleon. She was created for seducing and killing men by the IBI director Cortez (Philip Casnoff). In order to control her, she must take periodically some drugs. She receives the assignment of recovering a chip which permits the owner to have unlimited credit. When the inventor (Aede) of the chip and his family is trapped by the IBI agents, Kam rescues and saves Aede's son Ghen (the boy Eric Lloyd). Her maternal instinct raises and she protects the boy and she decides to carry him to the field in her motorcycle. The evil Cortez sends some special agents to chase Kam. This action and sci-fi television movie is not bad. Indeed is a good entertainment, with good performances of Bobbie Phillips and the boy Eric Lloyd. Fans of sci-fi movies will not be disappointed. My vote is six.
... View MoreThis is one of those movies that you would slate if you paid money to see it on the big screen...but as a made-for-TV film, it ain't half bad. Bobbie Phillips is gorgeous and has a real presence. She deserves to go on to bigger and better things. The film itself is nothing original and attempts to be all things to all viewers...part action, part drama, with a touch of sex thrown in for good measure. I'd give it a go, if you're in the mood for nothing substantial. 6 or 7 out of 10, in my opinion.
... View MoreChameleon, starring Bobbie Phillips was a Tour de Force. Special effects were astounding, the acting was top notch. Bobbie Phillips was THE only choice to play Kam, the way she went from "maternal" to "assassin" to "maternal" to "assassin" and so forth, was well played. Gan(the boy) was a fresh dose of reality, so innocent etc.... I will surly watch Chameleon 2 when it is aired. I give Chameleon an 8 out of 10.
