Assault on Dome 4 (1996 TV Movie)

"My father died dancing.... at the end of a rope"

[5/10 · 14 October 2021]

The film 'Die Hard' has a lot to answer for including this dire film set on some planet somewhere where the sky is a poor blue special effect and the wind howls continuously. The Bruce Willis figure in this case is 'Chase Moran, Peace Keeper' played blandly by Joseph Culp. He goes to Dome 4 to surprise his wife on her birthday and when terrorists arrive chaos breaks out. It's a routine movie. Except of course for Bruce Campbell as the lead terrorist Alex Windham. The movie only comes alive when he is onscreen and fades when he isn't. His sly and witty villain is a wonder to behold. The rest of the cast are forgettable. Mr. Campbell was the only reason I watched the movie throughout. It was a shame he exploded at the conclusion.
