Bloodhounds II is a good potboiler.
Bloodhounds II is a good flick for a Saturday afternoon. Corbin Bernson is pretty much standard issue as Harrison Coyle, the writer bedeviled by a vengeful murderer. Nia Peebles has her moments as Coyle's partner in the search. Ian Tracey does a fine job as the man living a double-life. His martial arts ability is terrific to see onscreen. All in all, this is a must-see for any who enjoy a good murder mystery. ... Read more

5* Movie With An Ethical Message on HMO's.
Excellent Film! Told the sad truth about corporate greed, exploitation of US Managed Care, HMO system for corporate profit. Unethical deneial of critical medical services to patients. Highly recommend this film. Laura Dern deserves ***** for this movie. Showtime and Pamouunt Network Television deserve ***** for making this film.

5 star movie
Peeno is a physician and a renowned critic of the way US health maintenance organizations boost profits by depriving patients of care. She has provided evidence for American patients suing HMOs; testified to the US congress; and spoken to the Romanow Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada.

Having had my own personal horror of the HMO system. This movie cuts right to my heart. A doctor inform with a heart transplant he was sure he could have saved my mom's life. Her HMO, refused to approved the claim...6 mths later she died.

And it saddened me for some to call it a chick flick. To look down on Peeno stating it took her long enought to come forward....but,the bottom line is.... she did... how many others have had the courage to do so? I salute you, your voice and your movie Dr.Linda Peeno.

Fighting the good fight
Laura Dern stars as a doctor who married and had kids before she was ever able to practice medicine. Her first efforts to return to the work place lead her to becoming a medical reviewer for a large HMO. There she is told she will help to stop the practice of doctors ordering (and making the insurance companies pay for) unneeded tests and procedures. It becomes clear that in fact she is there to rubber stamp denials and add an aura of legitimacy to a the practice of denying people the services their premiums paid for. Despite her stress and unhappiness her husband has her stay on in order to supplement the family income. Only after she has to make a life or death call does the lead begin to realize that the system itself is flawed and cannot be fixed from the inside.

As she expresses her concerns publicly the family starts to fall apart and the increased stress almost make Dr. Peeno give up the good fight. Her moment of truth comes with the help of two people - a nun and a former nurse now a victim of the system she once worked for.

This is a chick flick based on real events about the most naive person ever to graduate medical school. It was hard to believe that it took so long for the light to dawn on Dern's character about so many things in her life. But when she started to take action she proved to be capable and interesting. ... Read more

THIS IS A BORING MOVIE
AN EX-CON [STEPHEN BALDWIN] HELPS THE POLICE GO AFTER A SERIAL BOMBER. HAS A COUPLE OF GOOD ACTORS IN ITS CAST, BUT THE STORY IS POORLY PACED AND THE SCRIPT IS WEAK. NOT TO MENTION, THE ACTION SCENES ARE ALSO BAD. THIS MOVIE IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. THIS MOVIE AIN'T NO BETTER OR DIFFERENT THAN ANY OF THE OTHER DIRECT TO VIDEO ACTION MOVIES THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE ACTION SECTION OF YOUR LOCAL VIDEO STORE.

not too bad
This movie reminded me of the movie "Speed". It wasn't anything real exciting, but it wasn't too bad. ... Read more

Good entertainment if you like sci-fi
I have seen Virtual Assassin about 3 times on T.V. and for some reason I like it. I wouldn't call it fantastic, or even a great movie, but it is good entertainment for anyone who likes sci-fi and cyber-based stories.

Michael Dudikoff plays an ex-cop janitor at a computer technology firm who is thrown into an undesirable situation when a crazy cyber-villain takes over the building in order to get a sort of AI-based virus. The villain's actual goal is to incorporate the virus into his own mind, to become a sort of cyber-organism. The janitor Dudikoff must put his skills to work to protect the computer firm's employees (including a girl he likes) and destroy the crazy villain.

The acting is decent, the story is okay, and even though the movie is a low-budget sci-fi flick, it is good to watch if you have some free time. Every now and then it airs on the Space channel, so maybe you can see it soon and decide for yourself how good it is.

a so-so sci-fi movie.
while i am a fan of michael dudikoff, this movie was mediocre. it had the potential for so much more.

Good For A Low Budget Sci-Fi Movie
Virtual Assassins is about an ex-cop turned janitor, at a high-tec research building, that gets over run by cyber terrorists. Dudikoff is good as the hero. A must see for Dudikoff fans, aswell as Sci-Fi Fans. ... Read more
