In the future a city is operated by a graft filled corporation....who are the protagonists. Criminal Slash Gallagher (Evan Lurie) manages to escape from Hologram prison and lives as a hologram criminal. Decoda (Joe Lara) is the police detective after him.Maybe a decent film in 1995. Today, not so much. Plenty of action. Wasted a lot of cars. Use of CG blasts too. Just too trite. Available on a 3-pack with Incontrol. Guide: F-word. Brief early sex and nudity.

From the beginning this film is relentless swearing, dubious shootouts, massive explosions and over the top characterisation. I liked it.This was broadcast in UK on the Movies4men channel, there are absolutely no romantic elements to this story.In the future a criminals are kept in cold storage and their minds reprogrammed in holographic stasis (what?). One such criminal escapes in holographic form, it is up to the man who captured him etc etc.It is easy to see the influence of hit films of the era such as Demolition Man, T2, Robocop, The Lawnmower Man and Virtuosity.Presumably Bruce Campbell and Lance Henrickson were busy hence their absence from this movie.Quite why some of the other reviewers are so critical is beyond me. Did the title and synopsis indicate to them that this film would be shortlisted for the Oscars? Unlikely as it isn't about AIDS or the holocaust luvvies.Technically the film has been quite well shot and very well edited.The sound quality is passable but nothing special.Overall this was quite a fun film to with an interesting enough premise, and would be good to watch with friends with a few beers

PM Entertainment was really starting to roll around this point, and they were probably thinking this was going to be their breakthrough point. They apparently had a sizable budget, great locations, and a screenplay filled with action and a huge body count.Upon seeing the finished product, it seems something went very VERY wrong. Most of the blame can be put on the incompetent editing (the problem that you usually find on the particular PM movies that went wrong.) Often new scenes start up in what seems to be the MIDDLE of the scene - including the opening sequence! Action sequences sometimes are missing key shots, so that people or vehicles are suddenly in a new position without us seeing how they got there. If a particular action scene isn't confusingly cut like that, it's instead cut in a way that makes all the shooting and explosions boring.Elsewhere in the movie, a few shots are sliced up and spread throughout the particular scene (in one instance, it results in someone dying, then seen miraculously alive!) And some scenes are utterly useless, like the scene where the hero goes through a virtual reality training course. Sure, the computer graphics (for the time) aren't bad, but this scene serves no purpose except for eye candy. The rest of the movie is mostly just as forgettable. Having both a hero and a villain look and act like Lorenzo Lamas was probably not a good idea. I admit I did get a few giggles with William Sanderson cast as a computer geek. There are a few other laughs, but otherwise it's an unbelievably dull effort that seems to go on forever. The only possible explanation I can think of is that maybe the work-in-progress cut was mistakenly shipped to the video people instead of the final cut.

After viewing this movie, all I can say is "odd. Very odd." The sci-fi part of it seemed a bit overly-done; but I can't really comment on that aspect since I never advertised myself as a sci-fi expert. There were wayyyyyy too many explosions and shootings. I sometimes got the feeling the writers added all these when they needed time to fill since most of these scenes seemed pointless. The only redeeming quality of this movie was it's quirky plot in which the viewer couldn't help but be confused whether to route for the "good guy" or the "bad guy," since the "bad guy" (in terms of the guy who was the rebel of society) actually had the right idea. Other than that, there were way too many explosions and shootings. Almost to the point that it was sickening. But like a former poster on here said, "Hologram Man" may actually be worth looking at ... just to see what society should "not" be. If society ever got this bad, I wouldn't want to be in it.
