'Killer Buzz'? I wish. You can't blame me for trying. I must've downed 16-17 beers attempting to get through this movie. And all that got me was a "killer" hangover and deeper depression from having spent more time on this crud than the length of the preview. I've read this was originally called (much more appropriately) 'Flying Virus' as the advertised bees (hence the title & cover) share approximately 15 minutes screen time out of an exhausting 95 minutes. I love "When Animals Attack" films, even bad ones, but this is a cheap Rambo-less low-budget jungle action movie. At least half of it is. The other half should've been called 'Airplane III in 3-B.' When I was young, I might as well admit I was infatuated with Gabrielle Anwar (including her wonderful Tango scene in 'Scent of a Woman') and I thought Craig Sheffer might go someplace outside 'Some Kind of Wonderful.' (Rutger Hauer has no excuse he would've ended up in the same Mickey Rourke retirement home had it not been for 'The Wrestler.') Unfortunately, they ended up in this cheap Sci-Fi reject, which spent some of its $50 budget on explosions and stuntmen jumping all over the place and less on a wire-held plane. I was hoping the mostly absent bees to reach civilization sometime. They almost do they all buy coach seats and terrorize Sheffer and nobodies on a plane making 'Snakes on a Plane' look like a masterpiece. The other half involves get this for being original corporate greed & using mutated bees to get oil. Some people watch b-movies for a good laugh. I promise you two, but unfortunately, you'll have to wait until the closing. #1 Sheffer's rope act and #2 the line "let's get out of here." Where were they going? Hilarious.
