the romance is drippy and dull, there's no suspense to the slapdash thriller storyline, and the two elements fit together with the same clumsiness as the chemistry-free stars
the plot is limp, especially when the production tries to make sense of hazy motivations and characters. "Dead Reckoning" isn't a mess, it's just bad, also missing a critical level of camp value which would help the viewing experience
