S.I.S.

It's pretty obvious that this was a pilot to a tv-series that never was picked up but released on DVD as a movie instead. It even has logo-stops every 15 minutes or so with the SOS flashing up signifying it's time for advertisement. It's surprising that it's from 2008 because it feels extremely dated, although I suppose it could have been shelved quite a while before the studio decided to try to make use of it. Feels and looks like any random mid 90's cop show. Originally I was going to be nice and give it a 2.5 as I found some enjoyment in the cheesyness of it all and had it been picked up as a tv series (in the 90's at least) chances are I'd watch it every now and then. (Although it's pretty obvious why it wasn't picked up). But I noticed just now that JOHN HERZFELD directed it
