This film has an interesting plot. A race car driver (Emelio Estevez) is about to die in a spectacular crash during a race, but a split second before the car disintegrates, his body is stolen from the car and transported to the future to be used by another person who is dying (played by Anthony Hopkins). Estevez escapes his body snatchers and is now lost in the future. One of the snatchers is portrayed by Mick Jagger (yes, the Rolling Stone). Jagger is not, repeat, NOT, an actor, although his performance in this film is much better than I expected. Estevez is (supposedly) an actor, yet I found his performance to be almost poor. Jagger actually out-acts Estevez in this film. Hopkins gives his usual wonderful performance, although his is actually a minor role in the film. Jagger, Estevez and Rene Russo as the previous (and maybe still?) girlfriend of Estevez are the major stars of this film. There are few special effects, most of which are merely OK. I believe that this film had a very low budget and it shows, yet it falls into the "definitely not bad" category.
