Review
If you couldn't tell, this film is a 80s flick, and it shows. It's a cheesy flick, trying to be dramatic, but the weirdness of the film (especially the Volleyball scene) sever the film down. The action's pretty fine, and the acting is decent, but the film suffers from age, cheesiness, and just being weird.

Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
