Split Second

An Alien or Predator rip-off starring Rutger Hauer which takes place in the post global warming world of 2008. London is knee-deep in water and a killer is on the loose eating hearts and carving astrological symbols in his prey. You never really get to see much of the monster, so the action is mostly characters shooting at and reacting to things that are off-camera. The dialogue is horrific but the actors seem to be having fun within the constraints of this awful story. In the hands of a more energetic and skillful director this could have been a good B-movie. As it is it’s mostly boring.
