kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** The movie shows just how far people in power will go to get their way even as far a murder. Thats's what junior VP of Mickelson Pharmaceuticals Jessica Slate, Jamie Luner,did to get this drug Ezporine approved by the FDA after it was discovered to be fatal to anyone who uses it. It was the honest as the day is long Dr.Don Renfro, Gary Hudson, who got the news from Gena Ferris, Sophie Gendron, that her picture of health husband Mike suddenly dropped dead after using the drug.With the news of Ezporine not exactly cracked up what its said to be the wonder drug of the 21th century Jessica is desperate to get it approved by the DEA and make a mint off it before its found to be fatal to anyone who takes it! Jessica has no trouble getting these two sniveling "Girly Men" as "Arnold the Terminator" calls them to do her dirty work for her. By having Paul Winslow, Brett Watson,who works for the DEA to get the drug approved in her blackmailing him as well as getting her co-worker the gutless coward Cameron Finney, Linden Ashby,to whack Dr.Renfro before he makes his findings about Ezporine public. There's also the matter of Jessica's mom Hannah, Lois Dellar, who threatens to expose her shady past, in murdering her step father when she was 12, unless she paid her off with a new car and house in the country.***SPOILERS*** It was Cameron who after whacking Dr. Renfro with a tire iron in an all night Bowling Alley who was spotted by a local hooker,Cinthia Berke, who later described his rented red car to the police and Dr.Rebfron's daughter Renee, Ashley Leggat, who tracked the car down to have been rented by Cameron that spelled both his and his boss Jessica's doom. Interrogated by the police Cameron facing life at best and the death penalty at worse broke down and spilled the beans on what Jessica was all about to get a much lighter, 25 years with a chance for parole,sentence. Giving her big pitch about the drug Ezporine to an overflow audience of wildly cheering Mickelson employees Jessica slapped with a pair of handcuffs and taken away by members of the FBI and local police. That's for her to stand trial not just for ordering Dr. Renfro's murder but participating in the drowning murder, in her bathtub, of her mom Hannah's as well.

punishmentpark I watched the trailer on 13th Street and was looking forward to a bad film that would still have a true milf in it, namely Jamie Luner. It turns out they put in only the most becoming shots of her in the trailer, because mostly she looked very tired throughout the film. Tired, as in: not such a good nip and tuck job. And there a couple more such people in the film, none of them being very good actors (understatement).For the rest of it, this wasn't the bad TV-movie as expected, it was way worse. Boring, silly, unbelievable, those kinds of adjectives, and lots of them. I don't know how exactly Canadian tax dollars are involved here (read that in another review here on IMDb), but that would truly have been unfair to the hard working people of Canada, for sure.2 out of 10, because of my sympathy for Jamie Luner in spite of it all.

rps-2 This is not a bad film. But I have given it a low rating because it is yet another of these Canadian conceived, Canadian produced, Canadian shot, Canadian tax funded movies that cravenly ARE SET IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!! It is demeaning, embarrassing, frustrating and self- defeating. It is one thing when American companies come up here to shoot their own movies. But it is INFURIATING when Canadian film makers do not have THE GUTS to set their stories in Canada. They and the government justify it by claiming that it creates work for Canadian actors and film makers and that it is necessary if a film is to be sold in the US. NONSENSE! The Australians seem to turn out some pretty good product that is set in Australia. In this case, Ottawa was used as a set for a sort of ill defined New York City with American cops, American license plates, the American FDA and that surefire giveaway: American flags all over the place. Why didn't these billious wimps have enough self confidence to set their story in Toronto where there is indeed a sizeable pharmaceutical industry. (The story is about FDA approval of a dangerous new prescription medicine.)

jimmerw As a Canadian, I am used to seeing these awful movies that our tax payer dollars pay for.But after my 47 years on this earth, I don't think I have ever seen a movie worse than this.Everything is bad. The main characters are abysmal actors. And the supporting cast is even worse.At first this felt like an after school special meets a soap opera. But then it just got worse.It isn't even visually pleasing. The main character looks like a squinting duck. And she is cast as the attractive one. What enrages me is that my tax dollars went to make this visual abortion. I clicked on 1 star, only because that was the lowest I could rate this. I don't know how this movie could have been worse. It is the poster child of how not to make a movie. I want to meet the film maker, and beat him. My tax dollars made this. Why??????? I am disgusted that my tax dollars went to make something worse than a high school production.
