I don't know why we own this movie.  I don't know how I sat through the whole thing.  That fast-forward button was calling my name.

But I suffered through it, perhaps lead only by my hope that it would improve.  It did not. 

The plot - about a scientist who gets maimed but knows how to create fake polymer skin that only lasts 99 minutes - is lame.  The effects are also lame, in a very Sam Raimi Evil Dead kinda way.  Which worked for Evil Dead but not anywhere else.  Liam Neeson's cool, but this is not his best work.

That is all...
