Zone sinistrée

The first twenty minutes of Crime Zone is pretty good with a ( Ridley Scott Blade Runner) feel to it. The total darkness , lighting and mood, of the movie then took me down. (Peter Nelson) as Bone certainly looked the part of the leading man, but I was distracted by his soft and high pitched voice. (Sherilyn Fenn) played the nasty girl Helen and instead of making her look foxy by accentuating her petite figure they put an Ellen DeGeneres hair cut on her and parted it on the side like a boy. This is Sherilyn Fenn, Just let her where her natural hair for heavens sake. Everybody else besides (Carradine) were not great to be charitable. There is a number of twists and turns with no reason given to like or root for any of the characters. I watched the whole thing and was glad when it was finally "The End".

This video was (literally) collecting dust on the shelf of the store where I work. I dusted it off & took it home to watch, hoping it might be either a) a cheesy and unintentionally hilarious grade z flick or maybe b)an undiscovered sci-fi classic. It certainly wasn't a) and I'm beginning to suspect it might be quite close to being b). Peter Nelson (v.good, and broodingly handsome) and Sherilyn Fenn (also great) had real chemistry as the lovers in Soliel, the repressive 1984-style society, and the action sequences were genuinely thrilling. Pity about the hammy support by Michael Shaner, but it doesn't undermine the rest of the movie. If you like Blade Runner and 1984, give this film a chance.
