Twisted Justice

You have to admire filmmaker David Heavener. Sure, he makes awful movies, but at least he's making them and not just dreaming about it. And he makes them his own way (here he is the star, director, writer, producer, and musical composer!) And you have to give him extra credit here for managing to round up a dream B movie cast (Estrada, Tweed, Brown, Van Patten, Stroud, and Black) - though most of these people have little to do here. Anyway, if you know Heavener, you know what to expect with this movie - an ultra low budget enterprise. It's pretty cheap-looking (though it could have been worse, I suppose), with a futuristic setting that at no time looks advanced in technology or anything else. Poor audio and bad continuity also make the movie suffer, though what really sinks the movie is how lifeless everything is. It's slow-moving, and there's no passion even in the action sequences. I guess there's occasionally an unintended chuckle, but generally it's as dreary as Heavener's other movies.
