*CompleteMonster: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Murchison]] is the elusive director of [[MegaCorp Unified Pharmaceutical Corporation]], the manufacturer of the supposedly life-saving drug Absolon, [[OneNationUnderCopyright through which he controls both the global government and economy]]. Having actually exploited the "Neurological Degeneration Syndrome" (NDS) pandemic--which is already over--to [[PhlebotinumDependence manufacture a dependency]] on Absolon, when the drug's creator discovers a cure for the dependency, Murchison [[HeKnowsTooMuch has him assassinated to silence him]]. Discovering that Detective Norman Scot has been given the antidote, Murchison has Scot framed for the murder of multiple World Justice Department Agents and sends people to kill him. Eventually deciding he wants to profit off of the cure, Murchison orders the raid of a lab where the cure is being processed, forcing Dr. Claire Whittaker to extract Scot's blood before Murchison intends to detonate the lab.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Just about everyone in this movie is acting like they didn't realize this would be a DirectToVideo movie. Lou Diamond Phillips in particular plays his part so seriously one could be forgiven for thinking he was a [[PoesLaw parody]] of the tough-as-nails Federal officer archetype. The only exception is RonPerlman, who as usual seems like he's having a ball.
