The post-apocalyptic future: Humankind is condemned to live in ugly
dirty cities, and granted an escape only after years and years of loyal
service. Cop Bone (Peter Nelson) has his sufficient years of service
almost down, when he's fired from his job - which leaves him desperate ...
and open to an offer from shady Jason (David Carradine) to commit a few
heists in exchange for an alternative escape route. So Bone hooks up with
Helen (Sherilyn Fenn), who soon becomes his girlfriend, too, and they
commit the crimes suggested by Jason. But he's playing both sides, and
it's soon found out that he's actually a cop. Still, he isn't Bone and
Helen's biggest problem, actually helps them from time to time. Creon
(Michael Shaner) on the other hand, who has once been Bone's friend, now
thinks Bone is betraying him, and now he tries to do everything to stand
in Bone's way and eventually hijack his means of escape. To make a long
story short, Bone and Helen do escape in the end, Creon dies, and Jason
... well, he does catch up with Bone and Helen, only to then let them go
... Rather lame low budget heist movie with a science fiction
theme tagged on - but somehow that doesn't work because the film lacks the
proper visuals to back up its sci fi theme. Add to this a pretty stupid
story that's simplistic, convoluted and illogical at the same time, and a
very tired directorial effort, and you're left with ... pretty little,
actually.
