Trivia
Despite some decent word of mouth and an exciting ad campaign, Split Second underperformed at the US box office due to the fact that it opened during the weekend of the L.A. riots. See more »Goofs
Although supposedly set in 2008, the opening shot of London shows a landscape bereft of both the O2 Arena (Millenium Dome) and the several skyscrapers that surround the solitary building shown. Such are the perils of setting a movie in the near future, but displaying an already changing landscape to set the scene. See more »Quotes

Split Second is great at what it does delivering fast paced action filled b-movie sci-fi / noir. The acting is actually quite good, the plot interesting and well constructed and the action sequences just about deliver the goods on what was no doubt a tight budget.
Rutger Hauer does OK as the tough guy cop Harley Stone without ever really excelling, congratulations should go to Neil Duncan who brought humour to the movie as the irrepressible Detective Dick Durkin, Kim Cattral makes a pre sex in the city film appearance and does OK with the limited scope she's given.
It's an entertaining bit if sci-fi fluff the influences are obvious Blade Runner, Predator and Alien instantly spring to mind It never scales the heights of those films to transcend it's genre and as such is unlikely to appeal to anyone who doesn't go for this kind of B-movie style entertainment. However it does provide a good hour and a half of solid entertainment in an interesting environment, the rain lashed semi flooded London is an interesting premise and is explored as much as budget allows.
If you want good plot, fine acting and very big guns wrapped in a nice bit of trashy sci-fi then this could be the one for you. 7/10
