As perfunctory straight-to-video Luxembourg tax shelter projects go... surely some are better than this?

Muddled hacker-ish "thriller" leavened by Rutger's wardrobe of bow tie + leather jacket and Tara Fitzgerald's "American" accent. And an appearance by Michelle Gomez (Sue White from Green Wing).

Long, limp facsimile of a Godzilla movie ripping off also Jurassic Park, Aliens etc while including as much corporate promotion as possible. Broderick, in particular, underwhelms.

Godzilla 98 is the Woodstock '99 of monster movies.

Why have Chuck Norris in a movie and NOT have him Chuck Norris the hell out of the baddies??? There was ONE punch in the 1st hour, and ONE actual fight scene in the last half-hour.

Parody of films like 'Top Gun', from Jim Abrahams of 'Airplane' fame. Not quite the same standard but a lot of LOL moments.
