Medical thriller with a reasonable story and some nice scenes starring former coke addict Eric Roberts (sister of Julia and father of Emma), who with his typical acting style (and 80s haircut) has elevated the film to almost cult status. Movie reminds me of Coma.

Best of the Best reunion with Eric Roberts and James Earl Jones. Jones is fine as a detective (especially watch that great death scene), but a maniacal Roberts steals the show. It's almost inevitable that the man was heavily on alcohol or drugs.

Guerrilla filmmaker Cohen chose to let the grimey New York speak for itself and made a delightful pulp film with a hilarious premise.

While sister Julia played the whore with a heart in Pretty Woman and became a superstar, Eric just kept messing around. But it never got as cheesy cool as this or Best of the Best.

3.5* and

Eric Roberts as a comic artist gets into all kinds of trouble after he tries to track down a suspicious ambulance that kidnaps people and performs all kinds of medical experiments on them in a hidden location.

It's a pretty nice concept as a plot but it's executed very strangely with a bizarre kind of humor culminating in a bizarre role by James Earl Jones as a police inspector.

The atmosphere is good at times, but the bizarre humor spoils a lot.
