October Horror Challenge - Split Second (1992)

Day 28's prompt was "Sci-Fi Horror."


Plot
In a flooded dystopian London, a burnt-out cop, Stone, obsessively hunts down the thing that killed his partner years ago.

Review
Rutger Hauer plays the lead in this one. He's nuts and as always, just cool. Neil Duncan plays a detective assigned to keep an eye on him. He starts out nerdy but ends up just as crazy as Stone. Kim Cattrall plays Stone's love interest and the film also features a few British actors I typically see in supporting roles. 

I read that this one was a sci-fi/action/horror flick. It feels way more sci-fi action. Honestly it's just a weird flick and kind of slow. Hauer and Duncan are entertaining and the flooded London setting is cool, but otherwise I feel this one is just kind meh. Really not too much to say about the film. Its fine for what it is, but unless a friend wanted to watch it while we were hanging out, there are many other flicks I'd rather watch.
Your Game 
The creature in Split Second might be supernatural or it might just be some kind of mutant.
