In between the successful GODZILLA and RODAN, director Honda made this dull film, which lacks the inventiveness that made the other two features so enjoyable.

For the US release, Carradine and Ankrum were added in new scenes, resulting in little improvement. leave a comment

James Caan and Josh Duhamel really have this father-son-type chemistry down pat. And is there anything better than finding out something about Sam's mysterious past? Don't answer that. But come on, admit it: Her brother shows up (half brother, I get it Sam) and the girl vibrates all kinds of nervousness over her coworkers finding stuff out about her. That's enjoyable!
