We are not chasing it, it's chasing us. Split Second is directed by Tony Maylam and Ian Sharp and written by Gary Scott Thompson. The film stars Rutger Hauer, Kim Cattrall and Neil Duncan. Filming took place in London, England, primarily at the Hartley Jam Factory in Southwark, with Clive Tickner serving as cinematographer. The story unfolds in London, 2008. "After forty days and nights of torrential rain, the city is largely submerged below water, a consequence of the devastating effects of continued global warming. Warnings that were disregarded for decades have now resulted in unprecedented levels of pollution where day has become almost endless night..." and something is stalking the watery city and tearing hearts out of its victims... The storyline follows a predictable path, and truthfully, there aren't any unexpected turns here. A psychic connection between Stone and the killer isn’t fully realized, which is unfortunate because it could have made the movie more engaging. However, there are some interesting elements involving astrological and satanic themes that surface during the search/investigation. To its credit, Maylam and his team wisely keep the perpetrator hidden for most of the film, opting instead for occasional glimpses of a clawed hand or a murky torso moving across the frame, while the decision to only show the bloody aftermath of a kill has more impact than if we had actually witnessed it. The visual style is perfect for an apocalyptic sci-fi setting, with lots of greys, silvers and dim lighting, and the low budget production design works well within the film's overall tone. There’s even some cheesy dialogue reminiscent of Schwarzenegger, the kind he would have been paid millions to deliver around the time Split Second was released. The killer, once revealed, might disappoint many, mainly because it looks familiar, but its appearance does matter during the finale set at a flooded tube station. The music (co-scored by three different people) is also ideal; it sounds very tinny and distinctly 1980's. Based on the critical reaction to it, some people seemed to be taking it too seriously. Hauer delivers a performance that’s just right, with a sense of humor, a weathered character, and a swagger matching the glint in his eyes; he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. He plays a burned-out cop named Harley Stone, whose partner, who is completely different from him, is called Dick Durkin! It’s not something to be taken seriously! Cattrall is simply there as a love interest, to scream and display some skin for the discerning viewer, while her haircut—a black dyed German Helmet style—is totally unflattering. Duncan does a good job playing the nerdy police officer, using humor in his interactions with Hauer, and there are brief appearances from great British actors Alun Armstrong and Pete Postlethwaite. We also see song man Ian Dury and Michael J. Pollard in small roles. If you leave your worries behind, you have a decent chance of enjoying this low-budget British sci-fi film. 7/10
