Cast: Radha Mitchell, Vin Diesel, Cole Hauser, Keith David, Claudia Black
In the terrific opening scene a space ship crashes to a mysterious planet that has a few surprises in store for the crew. What follows is a formulaic Alien-style cat and mouse game in which the survivors are offed one by one in an increasingly gruesome manner and, by the end, in complete darkness. VIn Diesel's breakthrough.
