- Rating: ★★★☆☆
Plot:
- Lenny is a small-time sensation peddler who gets involved with the murder of one of his friends in the two days before the year 2000. Mace is his much-too-competent and likable friend & bodyguard, and Faith is his much-too-unlikable old-time fling.
Notes:
- Mace, shooting her way out of a once-flaming car underwater
- Camera sex with Faith. I now feel that I've had sex with Faith
- Lenny's hang-dog expression through most of the film. On the positive side, he also wears black leather pants throughout the entire film.
- Small part by Glenn Plummer as the new messiah, Jericho One. And if anyone has to be the future doomed messiah rapper, I'm glad it's him.
- Michael Wincott, who's always fun to watch as a bad guy...
