This movie opens on a prison on the moon. Billy Drago is Adrian Dunn, a former cop turned criminal who is serving time. He gets into a circular saw fight with another inmate and wins that battle only to be infected by an alien virus and dying.
His body is sent back to Earth and he comes back to life as an almost indestructible killer and his former partner takes on the case. This is Boston in 2009 and detective Cameron Grayson (Roddy Piper) takes no crap from anyone.
What makes this case even worse is that Dunn is a rapist and is spreading a fatal disease thru the city.Grayson will stop at nothing to destroy Dunn, and there are several great confrentations between the two of them. Drago is always a great villian, and Pipers' character is a great play off of that.
Th world depicted in this sci-fi film is a dark and bleak world of very little sunlight due to a strange dust surrounding the planet, and the cities are dark and dirty, much like they are today anyway.
Piper gets to show his acting chops once again, but this time there is more depth as we see him with many different emotions and he carries the film along with Drago.
The rest of the cast includes the beautiful Jayne Heitmeyer, Tyrone Benskin, Richard Raybourne, and Karen Elkin.
If you get a chance to see this and you're a sci-fi fan you need to seek it out. I can recommend this one highly.
