Pretty much bottom of the barrel stuff from Full Moon Entertainment, a company not especially renowned for making good films. The low budget is apparent here. The film also sounds a lot better than it actually is. To be honest, that 'acclaimed' TV series from the '60s, LAND OF THE GIANTS, was a hell of a lot more fun than this. The film should have concentrated on Bardo facing perils, a lot more perils than the mouse he faces in one short scene.It could have been a wacky variation on THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN but unfortunately it's just boring; after the plot is set up nothing happens for about an hour, apart from people shooting each other occasionally and even that's not exciting. However there are a few choice bits of unintentional comedy on offer: this is the only film in which the stunt double is an action man! The humour - and there's a lot of it - consistently falls flat.The acting is non-existent, apart from Tim Thomerson who remains bland but is not particularly bad. Obviously his experience (he's been in a lot of films like this, god help him) has helped shape him. To keep you interested (this is the plus side) there are some special effects which are interesting, such as the exploding people when Bardo shoots them with his powerful gun. There's a lot to laugh at but unfortunately not a lot to keep you interested. Watch only if you're desperate.

Tim Thomerson stars as Brick Bardo (No relation to the same Brick Bardo who beat up tons of people in Bloodmatch)an alien cop (Not unlike the cop from Trancers) who follows one of his adversaries to earth only to stumble onto earth where he is only a foot tall, it's here he joins forces with a ghetto woman to protect her from gang violence. Jackie Earle Haley (Before his Oscar nod) is the gang-leader who is Thomerson's main enemy. Believe it or not, Jackie Earle Haley could always act and his Oscar is no fluke, as he delivers a not too shabby performance and Thomerson of course as usual is enjoyable to watch (Of course) this is a perfectly watchable B.movie, with a good sense of humor, some good action sequences and for once Pyun's disjointed and over the top directing is appropriate. So all in all this is one of Pyun's better efforts and a distinctive B.movie.* *1/2 out of 4-(Pretty good)

Dollman (1991) was a cheesy science fiction/action film that didn't try to pretend it was anything but. Tim Thomerson stars as Dollman, a diminutive alien who's travels through space and time to capture a galactic fugitive. The low budgets of this film shows through when the film maker uses a lot of bad trick photography and repeated use of film stock in several places to pad out the film's running time. Does Dollman get his man? How will he adjust to Earth's strange people and planetary environment? To find out you'll need to track down a copy of DOLLMAN.Recommended for cheesy film fans.

Another trashy Grade Z quickie from the prolific Albert Pyun. Tim Thomerson´s 13 inch Clint Eastwood-like cop from outer space chases an ugly flying head(!) to Earth and gets involved in a gang war in South Bronx! Mercifully short, but deadeningly dull, with the cheesiest effects since Attack of the 50Ft Woman. They should have fired the continuity guy, too: Note how Thomerson´s sunglasses disappears and reappears in every second shot. Laughably bad, but that´s why we watch these movies, ain´t it? Sequel ´Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys´ is reportedly even worse, if that´s possible.0 (of ****)
