Jack Moony (Bob Hoskins) is a vice detective, but he is also an intense and crazed, racist lout. Jack has had a brief fling with a hooker named Crystal (Chloe Webb), but Crystal left him for Napoleon Stone (Denzel Washington), a suave, handsome, cosmopolitan lawyer, who becomes the object of Jack's rage, not simply because he has stolen his girl but also because he is black. Jack, who lives on cheeseburgers, beer, and whiskey, has a heart attack. This occurs the same night that Stone is killed in an un-accidental car crash. Thanks to a quick organ transplant, Jake ends up with Stone's heart. But to Jack's horror, he discovers the ghost of the lawyer has returned to earth to follow Jack around -- offering Jack nutritional advise, giving him tips on solving his murder, and suggestions on how to get back together with Crystal. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Soon after wrapping, the makers of this incomprehensible horror cheapie must have realized that they were creatively in over their heads, since they saw fit to add some laughable, Ed Wood-style voiceover narration to explain the story as it attempts to transpire. What can be deciphered of the plot involves bizarre cryogenics experiments and mad scientists performing electrical neurosurgery on kidnapped subjects, who are subsequently transformed into homicidal zombie automatons. A spate of axe murders ensues, featuring some of the cheapest gore effects outside a Herschel Gordon Lewis epic; a subplot involving the cop investigating these killings only muddles things further. The grating electronic score should compound this film's total annoyance factor beyond the limits of viewer endurance. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
