The prospects for this film were poor from the start, with the suggestion that we have not had enough of being asked to empathise with a spoilt rich kid undergoing a redemption. Things quickly plummeted when, early on, little effort was made to make the only action sequence of the film in anyway dramatic. In the blink of an eye a character is dead, move on, oh and by the way, the fact that they're talking to someone in a white suit means the story is in someway connected to heaven. The inexplicable plot, too ridiculous for even a seven year old to make sense of, pales into insignificance when you realise that the man in the white suit is none other than Dean Cain. Not only does Dean need to find himself a new agent but he also needs to spend some more time with a personal trainer.
The film is spectacularly awful with one redeeming scene illustrating that those producing this have a sense of humour. It turns out that the school principal is actually the brother of Dirty Harry. Not only is there a direct reference in the script but there are some Harryesque one-liners and as gravelly a voice as the actor could muster.
Adult score: 1/5Child score: 3/5First thing the child said when the film finished: Hmmmm
