When Amy Barrett (Danielle Harris, HALLOWEEN 4) wakes up in a Florida Keys hospital, she discovers it empty as emergency broadcasts and loudspeaker announcements call for an evacuation of the hospital and the island. As she searches for an exit, she finds the staff members and patients who carry on as if things are normal appear to be unable to see or hear her. The ones who do, on the other hand, seem intent on violence, and she witnesses unethical and unhygenic surgical procedures carried out on innocent victims. The only other people who seem "normal" are sheriff's deputy Ryan (Jeff Denton, FRANKENSTEIN REBORN) and Jennifer (Katie Keene), a party girl in protective custody, both of whom were also involved in the same freeway pile up as Amy as people were fleeing the island. As the other two are captured and dragged off by the hospital's less than compassionate staff, Amy wakes up again in her hospital bed in the same shape as before, in the first of a series of "cycles" as the hospital in the eye of the hurricane seems to have stirred something up that is thoroghly malevolent. As Amy tries and fails to escape the hospital with Ryan and Jennifer, they come to realize that if they do not escape the hospital before the hurricane passes, they may never leave it at all. Starting out like the usual she's-really-dead-and-in-limbo-or-in-a-coma-and-out-of-body, especially with the opening sequence in which she seems to have been deemed a hopeless case by the attending nurse and physician who apparently abandon her in the hospital evacutation followed by her waking up without any apparent injuries only to seem to suffer them progressively as she runs the hospital corridors, INOPERABLE goes from TWILIGHT ZONE-ish vignette to THE OUTER LIMITS-type sci-fi goosed with some gory practical effects - by the new company of former KNB Efx Group head Robert Kurtzman (THE WISHMASTER) - and plenty of the usual threats of unnecessary surgery and shock therapy. Although the novel concept may not be explored quite to the satisfaction of the more cerebral viewer, the film remains an entertaining diversion with good central performances. Sadly, the film is let down in the last ten minutes or so by seemingly not knowing when to quit with the twists.
