First of all, it gets a 3 just because of the effort, the actors and camera work were pretty decent for some low budget movie, so I am recognizing their work.
The other missing 7 stars are just because of the awful script. it's so bad that you will be shouting at the TV in some scenes. For instance, the main good guy has the chance to kill the main bad guy in the first 20 minutes of the movie but refuses it, although before he killed some of his henchmen trying to escape from his prison institution. And all this just to kill the bad guy for real at the end of the movie (duh!).
Yep, the writing is that bad. 4th grade kid's homework bad.
Another thing that bugged me was the special effects, pretty cheap for this day and age, even low budget.
My recommendation is to spare yourself the losing of one and a half hours of your life and just watch (again) the much better "Scanners" made by the genius of David Cronenberg.
