I'm going to go ahead and give this a 10, but, mind you, that is a 10 on the insomnia scale.
Even back when I was a little kid, and I caught this first on HBO when I was about 12 or 13, I've had issues sleeping at night, or in the day, or just issues sleeping at all. And, honestly, this is the kind of movie that is custom made for people like me that are stretched out on the couch looking for something we can ignore enough to lull us to sleep, but interesting enough to keep us vaguely entertained when we can't.
There are a lot of odd things that seem unrealistic, have little to do with the plot, and were added in for reasons that can't be explained... and for insomnia fair that is always appealing.
And the plot is just bad enough to keep you amused and just good enough to keep you from turning it off... again, perfect for a late night alone in the living room film.
Movies like this, they aren't made to be good. They aren't made to be prime time. They are really just made to play late at night for people to only vaguely pay attention to.
And in that respect, it wins.
