Dollar store version of a James Bond movie
AlsExGal31 December 2022
In this spy thriller from United Pictures and director Franklin Adreon, American secret agent Justin Power (Jeffrey Hunter) is teamed with Hong Kong agent Kitty Tsu (France Nuyen) to thwart a Red China terror group known as the Dragon from detonating a hydrogen bomb in Los Angeles. They must find the location of the mysterious crime lord Big Buddha (Harold Sakata), who is also an operative of Dragon, before it's too late.

This dollar store version of a James Bond movie is insipid, slow, and occasionally mildly amusing in its ineptitude. The film's big gimmick is the hero's use of cutting edge time travel technology to jump a few seconds or a couple of weeks forward or backward in time. He's warned by Donald Woods, playing the film's Bond boss M stand-in, that overuse of the time tech (housed conveniently in Hunter's wristwatch) could lead to a "time slip", a simplistic plot device to explain why time travel isn't used repeatedly to solve every little issue the hero comes across. Regardless, we never do see any suffer a time slip, unfortunately.

Harold "Oddjob" Sakata is an unusual boss villain, appearing in a motorized wheelchair, having all of his dialogue dubbed by Paul Frees, and, in one extended sequence, appearing shirtless. Lee Kolima, who looks a lot like Tor Johnson, plays big henchman Genghis, the kind of role Sakata usually played.

Dimension 5...lots of familiar faces in different spy angle
gcrespo14 December 2006
I just pulled out my copy of Dimension 5 the other night and looked at it....as with other United Pictures films it was filled with B actors in starring roles, Jeffrey Hunter, France Nuyen, Donald Woods and Harold "OddJob" Sakata. B plot that doesn't make you think much but it kept the pace going. Many of the United Pictures films were quick paced, "Castle Of Evil", "Destination Inner Space" , "Panic In the City, "Money Jungle" and "The Destructors" so if you get a chance to get any of these, they are good for any sci-fi buff's collection...not the top of the heap but not as bad as things like Astro Zombies. Other familiar faces were Kam Tong who was "Hey Boy" In "Have Gun Will Travel", Deanna Lund who went on to be in "Land Of The Giants", Robert Ito who was in "Quincy ME"

Lesson # 9: you don't have to go out of your way to see this one.
Hey_Sweden6 December 2017
The swinging 60s strike again in this mildly - make that VERY mildly - amusing espionage nonsense about a supposedly top notch intelligence agent, Justin Power (Jeffrey Hunter, "The Searchers") who is partnered with a Chinese-American female agent, "Kitty" (France Nuyen, "South Pacific"). Their mission is to foil a criminal organization dubbed The Dragons, which are headed by wheelchair-bound "Big Buddha" (Harold "Oddjob" Sakata, who is dubbed by Paul Frees). The Dragons plan to detonate a bomb in the City of Angels, but the good guys have a secret weapon: a time travel device that can be worn like a belt!

"Dimension 5" is low-tech and minor league, and it's also pretty short on action. Therefore, it's never particularly exciting, but it still has its moments. The give and take between our hero and heroine is enjoyable enough; she's Americanized enough to prefer steak and potatoes to more traditional Asian dishes. He's confident and has a fair amount of swagger. That said, neither of them are THAT smart - he needs to be saved more than once, and at the end, when she has the villain dead to rights, she doesn't kill him when she has the chance. Hunter and Nuyen are both very good looking, which should help to make their characters palatable nevertheless.

They're assisted by a fairly good bunch of supporting actors, including Donald Woods ("The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms"), Robert Ito ('Quincy M.E.'), Jon Lormer ("Creepshow"), Bill Walker ("The Long, Hot Summer"), Tad Horino ("Galaxina"), and Robert Phillips ("The Dirty Dozen"). The filmmaking isn't overly slick but it's passable; this was made by many of the same people behind the previous time travel sci-fi flick, "Cyborg 2087", including director Franklin Adreon.

A watchable, forgettable diversion for an hour and a half.

Five out of 10.

forgotten, even by "Star Trek" fans!
Judexdot130 April 2004
KTLA, in Los Angeles, used to excavate this moldy bit of time-travel weirdness, fairly often. I got interested from the cast, uniting Jeffrey Hunter, (at about the same time he would have been filming the original "Star Trek" pilot, "The Cage"), with future "Star Trek" guest, France Nuyen, ("Elaan Of Troyas"). The SF is very low-budget, very typical of its time, but still manages some interesting comments on time-travel, and its ramifications. (similar in some ways to a classic bit of SF, also pretty forgotten nowadays, "Cyborg 2087"). The time-travel belt is astoundingly cheap, yet every kid I knew wanted one! (ah, the old days before marketing took over!) Hunter gives this more than it probably deserved, and his performance brings most of the worth to the proceedings, while Nuyen tries to look Chinese, (and Communist!). The production was obviously quite cheap, and I have my doubts this ever played theatres. Saw it for years on Independent TV stations around the country, but it's pretty rare anymore. Skiffy ran it once or twice (I think), back when they survived on old movies, and never since they got "respectable", yet it's really no worse than much of their low-budget offerings. It's good cheese, and I wish it would poke its head out now and then.

Talky Stiff & Lackluster...Below Average Bond Spin-Off
LeonLouisRicci15 January 2022
Dumped Along-Side Piles of Low-Budget James Bond Trash.

This Embarrassing Miss-Fire with Jeffrey Hunter as a Blue-Eyed Lady's Man is Juvenile Junk that Meanders Along with Hardly a Scene that isn't Worth-Less.

Hunter as Justin Powers Super-Spy, Complete with a Time-Travel Belt that Looks like it Came From the Toy-Section at K-Mart.

The Snazzy Adornment with its Multi-Colored Dials is a Cumbersome Gadget that also Comes with a "Ring" Accessory.

None of this Means Much Because it is Underused and Unimpressive when it is Used.

There are a Myriad of Jet Airliners Taking Off and Landing and Helicopters Hovering Here and There.

A Couple of Fight Scenes are as Boring and Dull as Possible in a Film that Struggles Consistently to be Anything More than an Episode of a Mediocre TV Show.

There are Bond,eh, Powers-Babes Sprinkled Around Winking, Fawning, and Pitching-Woo, because that's a Trope of the Genre.

Beefcake and Oiled-Up Harold "Odd-Job" Sakata Shows Up as, get this, "Big Buddha", but for Some Reason is Confined to a Wheel-Chair.

Abysmal, Atrocious, and Skippable this is 1 Bond Knock-Off that is a Complete and Utter Fizzle.

Justin Power seems AWFULLY stupid to be a hero!
planktonrules20 October 2015
Justin Power (Jeffery Hunter) plays a guy who's supposed to be a super-smart secret agent. Then why is it once he's partnered up with Kitty (France Nuyen) he repeatedly blunders and is rescued time and again by this lady? It's especially amazing considering how often he acts like he is the super-spy and she is his acolyte?!

When the film begins, you learn that the Americans have a cool device that allows agents to jump back in time to the immediate past! They're using this to battle the ever-present Communist Chinese agents who seem bent on destroying America. Eventually he and his fellow agents learn that the Chinese have smuggled in parts to a nuclear bomb. Where in the US it's going to be detonated and by whom is something Power is going to need to discover--paired up with the Hong Kong-based investigator, Kitty. Can they stop the dreaded Big Buddha (Harold Sakata)?

I didn't mind seeing Hunter's character being out-thought by the female agent, but too many times he just seemed arrogant and really dumb...too dumb to live dumb! This is a weakness of the film. While she's obviously smarter than she is, at the end, Kitty is also a complete moron. And, so was Big Buddha for that matter!! However I did like how realistic and pragmatic the Power was, as he was not above slugging a woman or nearly twisting her arm off to get the truth--which makes since considering the Dragon organization is contemplating mass murder! And, I did like Big Buddha's style-- especially when one of his subordinates has the nerve to TELL him what he should do next! Overall, it's a film that had great promise but it really needed some editing to make the characters less like caricatures. I see this as a time- passer and not much more due to the inconsistent writing. In many ways, this plays like an old movie serial than a film that expected the viewer to take it seriously.

By the way, I saw this on YouTube and the print is badly faded--with the print looking sepia hued instead of in vivid color.

A strange, little, genre confused film
bensonmum210 August 2017
Dimension 5 is a strange little movie that combines several different genres. At best, I'd call it harmless enough as it does provide some small degree of entertainment. At worst, I'd call it a mess of movie that attempts to mix sci-fi and romance elements into what is basically a spy movie. The results are underwhelming. The sci-fi is missing from 3/4 of the movie, the romance isn't very believable, and the spy parts are too easily solved or handled.

Dimension 5's plot is a difficult one to summarize. A group called Dragon plans to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles if the US doesn't draw down its forces in South East Asia. Agent Justin Power (Jeffrey Hunter) is put on the case. He has at his disposal a time travel belt. He uses knowledge from the future to effect events in the present. He is assigned a partner, Ki Ti Tsu (France Nuyen), from Hong Kong. She is familiar with Dragon. Together, they'll have to discover the mastermind behind Dragon, how Dragon intends on bringing the device into the US, and put a stop to the plan.

Here's a laundry list of issues and observations I took from Dimension 5:

  • I recently wrote about the lack of on-screen chemistry in Thor: The Dark World. If it's possible, Hunter and Nuyen have even less spark. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd rate their on-screen chemistry at about a zero.


  • The build-up to the big reveal that Power's new partner is a woman was painful to watch. I'm not sure how many times Power's boss said something like "your associate" or "your partner" without once using a pronoun. Maybe a female agent was surprising in 1966, but I found the whole exercise tedious.


  • The time shift belt is featured in the first 10 minutes of the film and is all but forgotten until the final 10 minutes. There are plenty of other instances where the belt would have helped our heroes. And, at one point, we are treated to some rather lengthy scientific mumbo- jumbo about the dangers of getting stuck in a time shift. But I'm not sure why all this time is wasted on foreshadowing that goes nowhere. That movie, where the characters are caught in a different time arc, might have been more interesting.


  • Why is Harold Sakata in this movie? You hire a big bruiser like Sakata and then put him in a wheelchair. What were they thinking? Also, what was the deal with Sakata's dubbing? The dubbing was horribly obvious. The sound quality was completely different from anything else in the film. However, I will give Dimension 5 some credit for hiring actual Asians like Sakata, Nuyen, and a host of others to play Asian parts. A lot of studios and producers would have hired non-Asians and (as I call it) "yellow-faced" the parts. I appreciate the effort.

Chasing the Dragons
richardchatten25 December 2019
Belonging to that period after China successfully tested it's first atomic bomb on 16 October 1964 and diverted the West's attention from the Russkies to the menace posed by Red China; with the result that thirty years before Michelle Yeoh in 'Tomorrow Never Dies', special agent Justin Power (sound familiar?) is assisted by resourceful Asian babe France Nuyen in mopping up a gang of sinister orientals led by a wheelchaired Oddjob (Harold Sakata, plainly dubbed) planning a Christmas surprise for Los Angeles.

The goodies are equipped with cool gadgets around their waists like Willy McBean's Magic Machine (a bit like the device later employed in Michael Crichton's 'Looker') that enable them to run rings round the bad guys; although their training evidently didn't extend to anticipating the most intelligent use of the enormous tactical advantage this gives them in the field.

Awful
januszlvii20 January 2019
This might be the worst spy movie I ever saw ( bad spoofs like 'Casino Royale' included). Looking at Linda Ho and seeing what she does at the end of the movie, is the only reason to watch. France Nuyen ( Kitty) is nothing to look at ( Linda Ho and the ladies at the spy agency were a lot hotter). The name of Justin Power ( Jeffrey Hunter) may have been an inspiration for Mike Myers Austin Powers ( substitute the A for the J in Justin and add an S to the end of Power and you get Austin Powers). However, Power is so lightweight, he makes Austin Powers look like George Smiley from 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.' ( not to mention no women coming close to Elizabeth Hurley appear in tbe movie).Did I forget to add that the stupid gadget that changes time is low tech and does nothing for the movie. The best thing you can do is watch on YouTube and skip every scene not featuring Linda Ho. This is an awful movie that deserves just one star. That for Linda Ho.

Original Espionage Movie
claudio_carvalho23 July 2007
The unofficial agency of the American government Espionage Corporation is assigned to investigate the Chinese organization The Dragons when the government is advised to remove the American troops from Asia, otherwise The Dragons would destroy Los Angeles with a Hydrogen Bomb. The chief Mr. Kane (Donald Woods) asks his best agent Justin Power (Jeffrey Hunter), who is testing a time converter belt, to be in charge of the mission with the Chinese agent Ki Ti Tso (France Nuyen), aka Kitty. The intelligence agency unravels that parts of the bomb has been imported by the smuggler Big Buddha (Harold Sakata) and Power and Kitty seek the hidden place in USA.

"Dimension 5" is an original, but dated, espionage movie and quite underrated in IMDb. I bought this DVD because of the name of Jeffrey Hunter, the unforgettable Captain Christopher Pike of "Star Trek", and I did not dislike this type of 007 with time travel. There is one specific scene that is shamefully bad, when Justin Power finds that Kitty has not died in the car and hugs her and the DVD released in Brazil by Classicline distributor presents many scratched images, but in the end this movie is a reasonable entertainment. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Dimensão 5" ("Dimension 5")

Not so super science
dave13-17 June 2023
In science fiction there is a sub-genre known as the "super science story", wherein new technology appears that fundamentally changes how the world works. In this movie, spy characters are given devices that allow them to instantaneously travel anywhere in the world and even to any moment in time! Just thinking of the possibilities of such power as applied to the spy game is dizziness-inducing, and yet in this movie the devices simply function as a get out of jail free card for whenever the script gets into a tough corner.

The fact that Donald Woods and Jeffery Hunter, the supposed big brains in America's top spy agency have not (or cannot) use such tech to jam up her Cold War enemies on an epic scale shows just how little thought went into this aspect of the story. The movie plays like an episode of To Catch a Thief but with a cheat code. One suspects that the creators wanted a gimmick to distinguish themselves from the tidal wave of James Bond knock-offs that followed after Goldfinger, but lacked the courage to take this key story device to its logical end point. As if they wanted to be different, but not that different. There is a short scene in the early part of the film in which Jeffery Hunter tests the device by carrying out a series of re-does to repair a botched mission, yet fails to take a similar approach to the main mission! The picture has a deus ex machina device on tap but wants to pretend it does not, not really...

This is the key failing of the film, and it dwarfs all other considerations. Jeffery Hunter and France Nguyen make an attractive pair of principals, and their scripted banter, while nothing special, passes the time acceptably; the production values seem adequate, albeit well below the Goldfinger standard; the stakes are high, with the main story concerned with thwarting a nuclear detonation within Los Angeles. Okay, supposed super spy Hunter has to be bailed out multiple times by junior partner Nguyen, which makes him look like a bit of a boob, but slightly different handling could have turned this into a fun running gag. There are elements here to like. And none of that matters, since the viewer has a leisurely 95 or so minutes between the credit sequences to contemplate just what a single field agent with TIME TRAVEL TECHNOLOGY could do! Looting every secret file in Moscow and Beijing would be child's play. Mike Hammer in Complex 90, if given such gadgetry, would have ended the Cold War in about three days. Such a ridiculously potent story device either has to be employed fully, which would radically alter the rules of the spy game (and thus, the spy thriller) or left out. Using it by half measures makes the characters seem not very clever or competent, and the writers seem unimaginative and cowardly.

The viewer is left with the inescapable feeling that a better thought out version of this idea should be possible. But what we get here just is not it. What a pity.

Praise for effort
kinetica30 July 2001
This movie was interesting to watch. The time-travel concept was very consistent within the frame work of this movie. Jeffrey Hunter was his usual magnetic self, and the supporting cast was fine. It has been a few years since I actually saw this film.

Unremarkable
neil-47611 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Secret agent Justin Power is tracking down a dastardly plot by a secret organisation to explode a nuclear device somewhere in the USA. He is helped by a gorgeous exotic mysterious woman and a device which can move him a short time forwards or backwards in time.

The potential in this conventional spy story derives entirely from the time-hopping device, which is both underused and unimaginatively used. The rest of it is very much typical of TV series of the time (indeed, it was originally intended for TV) in terms of production values, excepting only its widescreen presentation. Direction is dull and Jeffrey Hunter, as Power, does not make a thrilling protagonist. France Nuyen is an attractive mystery woman, but Harold "Oddjob" Sakata shows why he never had a great big screen career after Goldfinger.

Verdict: feeble. However, it is on Youtube if you're interested.

A complete bore
boydwalters6 August 2019
Saw this stinker in the cinema as a kid ... Couldn't remember a thing about it apart from Harold Sakata who played Oddjob in Goldfinger was in it ... Oh and the poster ... Managed to watch ten minutes of my life on this 3rd rate, mishmash of sixties spy film cliches wrapped up in a bad instalment of The Man from Uncle and gave up before any sign of Oddjob :( ... It was just too boring to waste any time on ... Much the same as I thought as a child 50 years ago ... Still remember Mr Sakata and the poster though

Colorful but routine spy movie with fantastic gadgets , noisy action , emotion , crossfire and fights
ma-cortes11 January 2022
A thrilling rip-off with unstopped action , intrigue , explosive women and breathtaking ending . The unofficial agency of the American government Espionage Corporation commanded by Kane (Donald Woods) assigns his best agent , American intelligence operative Justin Power (Jeffrey Hunter) a dangerous mission in which is aided by a Chinese-American female agent Ki Ti Tso, aka Kitty(France Nuyen) . The Dragons threaten to bomb US in case they don't move troops from Asia . Along the way , Power with a converter belt , and Kitty seek the hidden place in the United States . From Out of the Depths of the Fifth Dimension - The Most Amazing Spy Thriller of All Time - as the law and a time machine battle evil in a desperate race to save a city from Atomic Destruction!

Run-of-the-mill spy movie with usual seasonings : gorgeous girls , pursuits , fighting , betrayals , fantastic gadgets , strange artifacts , and moving as well as thrilling final . It develops a silly , simple and fantastic plot in which an intelligent secret agent in charge of the mission who uses a time-travel belt and a magic ring to take on a Chinese organization : ¨the Dragons¨ that would destroy Los Angeles with a Hydrogen Bomb if the government doesn't remove the American troops from Asia , otherwise the feared terrorist organization with the explosive to be blown up in Los Angeles , that's why nasty enemies are attempting to import to L. A. scraps of materials to make an atomic bomb . Really influenced by James Bond series , Eurospy movies and maybe ¨Get Smart (1965) series¨writers watched this movie before making their series , as the whole feel of the film - it all screams James Bond . Stars the early deceased Jeffrey Hunter who had a splendorous time when he was signed by 20th Century Fox , where he remained under contract until 1959 , and within a month was sent on location in New York for Fourteen Hours (1951). Hunter was kept fairly busy in pictures, working his way from featured roles to starring roles to first-billing within two years in Single-Handed (1953). His big break came with John Ford's classic, The Searchers (1956), where he played the young cowboy who accompanies John Wayne on his epic search for a child kidnapped by Comanches. Hunter got excellent reviews for his performance in this film and justifiably so, as he held his own well with the veteran Wayne. In 1960, Hunter had one of his best roles in Hell to Eternity (1960), the true story of World War II hero Guy Gabaldon. That same year, Hunter landed the role for which he is probably best known (although it's far from his best work), when he played Jesus in producer Samuel Bronston's King of Kings (1961), which due to Hunter's still youthful looks at 33, was dubbed by irreverent Hollywood wags "I Was a Teenage Jesus." He's well accompanied by the beautiful France Nuyen , both of them set out to thwart Chinese operatives. The cast secondary is formed by unknown chinese actors , exception by Harold Sakata as the smuggler Big Buddha , he will forever be remembered as the villainous "Odd Job" in the ultimate Bond film, Goldfinger (1964), with his lethal martial arts and steel-brimmed bowler hat .

The motion picture was regularly directed by Franklin Adreon . It has some flaws and gaps , as it does tend to get a bit corny , but it has big fun , so it cares . Andreon was an American second-feature director and screenwriter . A former bond salesman, he had entered films in 1935 with Nat Levine's Mascot Pictures. As he handled Republic westerns , including films as Canadian Mounties vs. Atomic Invaders , Man with the Steel Whip , Panther Girl of the Kongo , Trader Tom of the China Seas and serials during the 1950s before moving on to episodic television. As he made a lot of TV episodes from notorious series , such as : Lock Up , Rough Riders Tombstone Territory , Gunsmoke , Men Into Space , Pony Express , Frontier Doctor , Mackenzie's Raiders , Lassie ,Colt 45 , Sugarfoot , Maverick , Everglades , Bat Masterson, among others . Rating : 5.5/10 . Average , but passable , acceptable and with big fun.

See The Newly Remastered Print Only
StuOz9 January 2022
30% science fiction film, 70% 007-ish film.

The mix of genres (sci-fi and spy stuff) is generally regarded as the main issue with this flick. The film's title sounds spacey, the intro is spacey, but then it jumps into James Bond ground for about 60 minutes!

Adding to the confusion, today star Jeffery Hunter is mainly known (by me) as the lead actor in the first Star Trek pilot, so seeing him in this, with that sci-fi start to D5 - in the early stages some viewers are in a fantasy zone right from the word go!

This is sounding like a negative review so I will move on - the flick is okay! But you must see the newly remastered wide screen print. There are things to look at (nice cars, nice sets, nice girls) and these all require a nice clean print - not that faded copy that was doing the rounds for decades.

The humour sometimes seems a bit forced at times, they make light conversation after just discovering LA is about to be bombed off the planet!

This review is probably sending out mixed signals, but despite the endless flaws in D5 - I found it okay.

Dimension 5
BandSAboutMovies5 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Directed by Franklin Adreon (who also directed the similar Cyborg 2087) and written by Arthur C. Pierce, Dimension 5 is about time-traveling secret agents Justin Power (Jeffrey Hunter) from Espionage, Inc and Ki Ti Tsu (France Nuyen). It was going to be a TV movie but ended up being released to theaters.

Together, the two agents battle an Asian crime ring, Dragon, led by crime lord Big Buddha (Harold Sakata), who will destroy Los Angeles if the U. S. doesn't leave Vietnam. However, Power is able to preview time, which allows him to keep people safe from Dragon's killers.

Kitty has her own reasons for wanting to battle Big Buddha, as he was the executioner during the Nanking Massacre who killed her parents. The bad guy plans on building a nuclear bomb in the U. S. by placing it inside owl-shaped incense burners and Christmas decorations.

Nuyen is great in this, but man, Jeffrey Hunter was sleeping or so it seemed. Maybe he could use that time travel to get a few extra hours of nap before coming back and being the superspy in this movie.

Average Bond's variant spy-science fiction!!!
elo-equipamentos9 September 2020
There are some many landing and take-off of Pan Ann airplane that somehow suggest a sponsored movie, aside that Dimension 5 is a variant of the Bond's movies, an American independent spy Agency that helps the USA against their enemies, they were contracted by USA for an ardous task to face a powerful Chinese organization called Dragons, who is willing drops a H bomb over Los Angeles if the US's Army withdraws all soldiers from the military installations spreading on Asian territory, the skillful agent Justin Power (Jeffrey Hunter) was assigned to the case, he has a special belt device that allow goes ahead or back in time to predict what's the next move of their enemies, there are so many gorgeous girls like Bond's movies, however too much coy behavior, aside the Chinese double agent Kitty (France Nuyen) who enter in the plot just for personal reason only, the belt device which Justin calls Dimension 5, becomes useful as announced beforehand, having in the cast a remarkable actor Harold Sakata the iconic OddJob and his flying sharp hat on Goldfinger, an average science-fiction and spy movie that needs an upmost restoration, glad to see Deanna Lund of Land of the Giants in early steps in smallest role as Mrs. Sweet!!!

Resume:

First watch: 2007 / How many: 2 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6

Not bad at all!
RodrigAndrisan23 February 2023
Well, it's not as stupid as most of the people wrote among those who signed reviews here on IMDb. Seen by me on YouTube today February 23, 2023, a very clear version for the age of the film. The film has a well-organized action, not like many other films of the same bill from the same period. I say that the director Franklin Adreon did a very good job, it is filmed intelligently, even spectacularly at times (the car chase at the beginning of the film, the aerial filming from the helicopter). And, the most precious thing, the performance of the actress France Nuyen, who is young, very beautiful, full of charm, her character, Kitty Tsu, is the most interesting and successful. Jeffrey Hunter is a mediocre actor, nothing exceptional about him, but here he is quite decent. Harold Sakata, as a villain immobilized in a wheelchair, does a much superior and more credible role than the one he did in the movie "Goldfinger" from the James Bond series. Once again, Frances Nuyen's delicious performance makes the film worth watching.
