FALLOUT is a sci-fi cheapie for lumbering action man Daniel Baldwin, here at the bottom of his luck. The movie is directed by Rodney McDonald, one of the Z-grade B-movie directors working at the tail-end of the 1990s, and the story is about a rescue mission in outer space that takes place when some nasty Russians hold the very Earth to ransom.Well, APOLLO 13 this isn't; the realism goes out of the window at the outset with the cheap staging and set-bound antics of the cast. The heroine veers on becoming a blonde bimbo and appears to have been cast for her appearance rather than acting ability; the less said about Baldwin's ability to sleepwalk through his part, the better. The villains are singularly unimposing and the film is both predictable and boring.
... View MoreAs already stated by others, this flick sucks pretty much, however I´d like to point out the score, especially during the end-credits (or should I call it "blacklist"?).It really, really, and I mean really sounds like a poor spoof of Klaus Doldinger´s "Convoy"-Track from "The Boat"-Score.Even Sonar-Pings are in it...But nomen est omen I guess. The Fallout Score was done by David and Eric Wurst, The Wurst-Brothers!!! :o)Wurst is German for Sausage... This Movie sucks, and sucks, and then it´s over...
... View MoreI usually don't comment on movies, but for this stinker, I'll make an exception. The dialogue is absolutely atrocious. Every character seems to enjoy stating their job title and past experience like they're reading a resume.It's really hard to fault the actors when given a script this foul... But I'm feeling picky today. Low points include Frank Zagarino's accent which keeps flipping between German/Austrian and Russian and an over-the-top wooden performance from a moussed-up Baldwin brother.I saw this movie for free on the SciFi channel and yet, somehow, I still feel ripped off.
