I usually follow the maxim passed down through the ages that "all Sci-Fi Original Movies suck". But I decided to watch Painkiller Jane and frankly, it's just not up to the task. The effects need to be take down several notches. Some of the effects in this movie are actually reasonable. It's certainly not up to the man in a monkey suit Sci-Fi standard.
The acting is tolerable, and the script, while formulaic, makes at least some semblance of sense without following into the usual fan rat holes that are a trademark of Sci-Fi Originals.
It's so disappointing to see a Sci-Fi Original Movie that treads into the region of almost good. Clearly this is a setup for a series, and I find myself in the unenviable position of hoping it becomes one.
