An Air Force pilot (Matthew Broderick) joins a top secret military experiment involving chimps, but begins to suspect there might be something more to the mysterious "Project X".
I really thought I was going to love this. 1980s Cold War paranoia, Matthew Broderick, Helen Hunt, etc. I mean, this couldn't be a bad movie, could it? And while not "bad", it really never gets all that interesting. It just exists, and I don't know why.
Hunt is alright, but Broderick seems out of place. His voice makes me only think of a laid back, slacker teenager. Yes, this is obviously because of "Ferris Bueller". But I didn't notice a big change here. I would think a pilot would take himself a bit more seriously, but that was not the impression I was left with.
