Now, while none of the genres exactly mixed well together, I did generally like Rutger Hauer in the lead here, huffing and puffing his way through as the grizzled offbeat detective who is certainly going a bit crazy, to the point I wonder how valuable his character being the best man on the force would have gotten him off suspension. Both Duncan and Cattrall serve well for the story and do what they can with the thin character development, although the Japanese version of the film does show Derkins’s domestic life with his girlfriend (the actress is credited even though her scenes were entirely removed). In terms of the supporting cast, Alastair Duncan (credited as Neil Duncan) had some fun quips opposite Hauer and never a bad thing at all seeing Kim Cattrall whose character isn’t terribly fleshed out but she does provide that 1990s eye candy. And by the end, for the few moments we see the monster, which is prominently shown on the poster, goes a bit Alien or, for a more recent example, Venom even. Not sure what the budget was for this, but they tried their damndest to, at least early on, replicate (no pun intended) Blade Runner given how the DP shot it, before it took a right turn into 48 HRS territory with the gruff veteran cop having a young buck following him around. Part dystopian science fiction, mixed with some buddy cop comedy and a bit of horror thrown in for bad measure. Quick Hit Review: Split Second is a really weird hybrid of genres. Teamed with rookie detective Durkin (ALASTAIR DUNCAN), Stone must stalk the edge of his own sanity if he is to destroy the rampaging Evil on the outside and banish the very real demons within. Even in the future, there aren’t guns big enough to stop the creature’s deadly force, but Stone has no choice. Maverick cop “Harley” Stone (RUTGER HAUER) lost his partner to the beast, and now it looks like his girlfriend Michelle (KIM CATTRALL) is next on the killer’s list. Swift, sharp-clawed and deadly, something moves among them on the streets, in the alleyways, on the rooftops, tearing out human hearts and devouring them.

Plot Synopsis: In the year 2008, the cops are better armed than before, but nothing has prepared them for this.

Split Second is a sometimes cheesy, even messy, low budget cross between science fiction, buddy cop comedy and horror that works thanks to Rutger Hauer’s committed performance and at least some interesting cinematography copying the aesthetics from Blade Runner.
