This film is actually Terminator in a different suit; the suit of a priest. The terminator here is Satan (or his agent), diffidently played by Gabriel Byrne, hot to make a baby on New Year's Eve. Arnold has the Kyle Reese role, and does his best to protect his 'Sara Connor'. The movie is not as bad as folks would have you believe. Just don't try to wrap it up as a sophisticated intelligent movie. It's escapist fare at best.
Perhaps the worst thing this picture does is completely waste Rod Steiger in a role that could have been played by a chimp. He might have made a more interesting Satan. All in all, I'm glad I watched it on DVD.
