We are not chasing it, it's chasing us. Split Second is directed by Tony Maylam and Ian Sharp and written by Gary Scott Thompson. It stars Rutger Hauer, Kim Cattrall and Neil Duncan. It was filmed in London, England, predominantly at the Hartley Jam Factory in Southwark, with Clive Tickner the cinematographer. London, 2008. "After forty days and nights of torrential rain, the city is largely submerged below water, a result of the devastating effects of continued global warming. The warnings ignored for decades have now resulted in undreamed of levels of pollution where day has become almost endless night..." and something is stalking the watery city and tearing hearts out of its victims... Plot follows a familiar course, and in truth there's no surprises here. A psychic link between Stone and the killer is sadly never fully formed, which is a shame because it had the potential to make the film more interesting. To offset that though, is that there is some nice babble involving astrological and satanic matters which are thrown up during the search/investigation. In its favour as well, is that Maylam and his team sensibly keep the perpetrator hidden for most of the film, instead choo
Read the whole review on TMDBDark, absurd, and deeply scary I came here for Rutger, not gonna lie about that. However, what I got was a comic-book like horror-story with great visuals, characters that felt believable and distressed, and a badguy you don't get exposed too too early, too clearly or so much that you you get bored with it. It has funny moments as well, a great cast overall, and great effects and gunplay. It is one of my favorites, even if Rutger had not been in this.
Read the whole review on TMDBTonally awkward at times and mismatch of various genres with apocalyptic-future science fiction horror mixed with buddy cop comedy, but for all its flaws, found this to be an absurdly entertaining film thanks to Rutger Hauer's charmingly gruff performance. Some interesting production design clearly inspired by Blade Runner, especially early on, and the brief moments we see the creature looks like a cross of the xenomorph and Venom. **3.0/5**
