About
You may enjoy this if you like trashy, gory dystopian action with a goofy sense of humor, especially in the vein of The Running Man or Death Race; Not for you if you want polish, subtlety, or smart satire.
Pros: fast-paced energy; campy dark humor; silly cult appeal | Cons: cheap effects; weak acting; loud, dumb satire
