Maximum Velocity (2003)

DULLSVILLE

MAXIMUM VELOCITY's script is so shoddily written and so many plot devices unexplained, one has to wonder what in the world it was made for. Seems like perennial bad guy Michael Ironside and the US AIR FORCE have developed a Storm Fury program that can generate devastating hurricanes, and has been designed as a weapon of destruction. However, when a black comet passes through the earth's atmosphere, it causes a superstorm with the potential to devastate the entire east coast. Now Ironside seems to be doing good when Storm Fury is reinstituted to destroy this storm. The script is so wishy washy and unfocused that what little tension or suspense is generated is wasted on the muddled governmental interference. Dale Midkiff (Pet Sematary) is wasted in his good guy role, and the rest of the cast merely does their shtick. A disappointingly dull movie. September 18, 2005
