**** – The following facts became very apparent to me early on: (a) shot on a single set, (b) shot on video, (c) cost less than $200,000, (d) directed like a TV commercial, and (e) the most noteworthy names involved are William Katt and the guy who played Tom Smykowski in “Office Space”. Well, this movie is about as good as a movie with the above-mentioned characteristics can be, and that is largely because of the outstanding story. This is essentially a sci-fi film without any FX about a guy who tells a group of co-workers that he is a 14,000 year old caveman. While the acting isn’t the best I’ve ever seen in all cases, the ensemble cast of nobodies and has-beens did a good enough job to do the story justice. This is certainly worth 90 minutes of one’s time. Is it wrong that I kept waiting for Smykowski to say “He made a million dollars”?
