Movies based on first person shooters rarely create a plot to hold someone's interest and this is no exception. Dwayne Johnson aka "the Rock" stars as the leader of a military team that has to travel to Mars to clean up a science station that's gone terribly wrong. I had some hope it might be interesting with the spacey science fiction bits but alas, it's just a typical horror flick. Don't bother.

With a cast like Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins and Keanu Reeves, what could possibly go wrong? Darn near everything. I found it campy without the funny part. The ole vamp himself looked like a bad drag queen act and Rider's acting made me want to throw stuff at the screen.

This DVD had two seemingly unrelated films on it. I don't know what if anything connects them. Shark features Burt Reynolds as an arms smuggler stuck in an African sea port who discovers sunken treasure. He hooks up with a marine researcher to haul it up. But the researcher betrays him.
The violence within The Last Hour just made me dislike it's stupid antics. Shark might have earned a soso had this bad dog not been on the disk. Mafia plot mixed with TERRIBLE acting just made it a fast forward wonder. Avoid at all costs.

No Amazon link for the Last Hour.
I did put this in the DVD player and watch about 10 minutes skipping around. I couldn't find a point to it so I just switched it off. That's all I am gonna say.
