You may have read the word "simmer" in a recipe or two, but what does it really mean?, Up to 41.5% of captive boas test positive for eosinophilic inclusion bodies. Leave him out and it would have been quite watchable.Females commonly exceed 10 ft (3.0 m), particularly in captivity, where lengths up to 12 ft (3.7 m) or even 14 ft (4.3 m) can be seen. Oh please, please go away! That's what really ruins this thing, the typical Sci-Fi Channel obnoxious lead character.

Then he demands to know "the whole story".

Didn't they give him 100 thousand and tell him to go away? He even punches the guy for getting him into the whole mess, but wait.

What follows is the snake attacking these folks numerous times, and the truck driver whining and complaining about being put in danger. They even paid him the whole 100 grand, for doing nothing, and yet he still sticks around. So they get to the base and find that the 85 foot, 12 ton snake has escaped its refrigerator sized box, and since it's now obvious that they won't simply be hauling it back on a truck, they tell the truck driver to go away. So they do something that this audience member really regrets: they hire an American truck driver to accompany them. Yeah, you know, all that training, all those weapons, all that organization, and a 100 thousand dollars to throw around, but no truck. A team of commandos goes in to get it, but they need a truck to haul it back with. In this flick, a giant snake is loose in a really small Russian military base. This movie follows the same formula, but overlays it with the Sci-Fi channel formula of having the characters behave obnoxiously and fight amongst themselves for reasons of, well, apparently they saw people doing that in a real movie once. And then there's the half day of work they pay the pyrotechnics crew for, which is the last scene where the monster is destroyed. The good guys shoot the creature numerous times, but considering it's obviously added via CGI in post-production, shooting it never seems to have any effect. The movie always seems to end up in a dark basement full of pipes. There's a certain paint-by-numbers formula that these creature movies follow: the creature is always created by the military, which never makes any sense but we can live with it if the movie's good.
