Timelock (1996)
6/10
Besides, the ship won't fly without this!

This film is not merely watchable, it's genuinely entertaining. It has its flaws. It has many many flaws. It's like someone brought a bag of flaws into the cinema, opened it with too much gusto, and they went EVERYWHERE!

But, like stormtroopers, all of them miss and none of them matter. Despite the best efforts of those flaws, this film is not just watchable, but genuinely entertaining.

All of the actors can act. Not only that, but all of them can act with, at least, a modicum of screen presence; something you almost never see in post-milennial B-movies. Each one is a character acting and each scene is a character comedy vignette. They never quite manage to be laugh out loud funny; but, crucially, they are engaging, and they are able to create convincing chemistry between their characters. It's a solid six.
