Probably Anderson's best film, which is saying very little. Made slightly more interesting do to David Webb Peoples proclaiming that he wrote it to take place in the same universe as Blade Runner.

5 stars for effort, but really is crying out for a remake that will shed that awful 90s cheapness. Laced with inspiration from Rambo and Universal Soldier all shot in a n 'Aliens' style universe; worth a watch, even if only once.

Everything following Todd's initial desertion, right up until the soldiers arrive, is middling at best. Everything else, before and after, is excellent! Free of the trashy soundtrack selections and forced comic-relief (usually built around annoying afro-American stereotypes) that spoil his better known work, Anderson shows himself to be a surprisingly talented "visual" filmmaker. His command of the 2.35:1 frame - combined with his bold, comic-strip colours - is extraordinary, leading to some powerful and unforgettable images.
