The Sender (1998)
4/10
Watch it only for the car crashes and explosions
2 May 2022
This is an odd movie, where the cheapest CGI imaginable is coupled with a plethora of very decent car crash mayhem. In fact it's hard to reconcile the "no budget" 1980s PC game level graphics with how much all the explosions and demolished vehicles would have cost to stage.

Meanwhile the plot has high concept aspirations which it completely fails to deliver on, due to the inadequate, threadbare dialogue. Nothing for the actors to work with here, so Michael Madsen appears to have given up all hope and Shelli Lether daydreams about being somewhere else. Robert Vaughn is an old pro who has accepted his fate and R Lee Ermey can still deliver his trademark "angry Sgt Major" routine, no matter what dialogue he is given.

Mid table for a movie with Michael Madsen at the top of the bill...which isn't saying much.
