I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
It is a performances centric movie
Better Late Then Never
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Suspect Device is not a good movie, but it's not a *bad* bad movie. It's surprisingly riveting as you're watching it, but when the credits start rolling, you suddenly realize nothing you've just seen made any sense whatsoever. It barely stops once it starts, that's why. It's obviously riffing off of Terminator 2, with a sort of Fugitive vibe.C Thomas Howell, a staple in these films, stars as a business worker for the government who is plagued by violent dreams of people around him getting killed, and one day he wakes up and they are. What you must do is run with this movie, and don't stop and question the plot holes or the whole film caves in.**1/2 out of 5
It's standard stuff for the first half or so, with a plot that's a pretty blatant rip-off of THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR. Then suddenly we get some twists in the plot that are so silly and/or jaw-dropping, you can't help but get sucked in. And it had a very memorable ending. Film suffers from typical Roger Corman cheapness (including ripping off footage from a famous made-for-tv movie), and the action scenes sometimes get pretty dumb, especially when you see wimpy C. Thomas Howell attempting to be an action hero. Verdict: if you like B-movies, and you don't mind them a little cheesy, you'll probably like this.
This one's a mind-blower! Constant suspense and action, along with some of the wildest and most entertaining plot twists I've ever seen in a TV-movie. Especially noteworthy are Stacey Travis and the actor who played the hippie mad scientist. Just when you think you've seen it all, the filmmakers throw in a nuclear blast just for fun! This is a four-star popcorn movie if there ever was one! Great writing makes this one a winner!
Lot of potential in plot but somehow it didn't flow as it should have (poor direction?). Good acting by C. Thomas and lead actress.
