He really gets in over his head when one of his friends is killed. And of course, he gets blamed for the murder. However, he knows who committed the crime, so he's on a mission to clear his name. He won't get help from the Skulls, as they're the ones after him. He doesn't know who to trust, but he must survive.

If this sounds cheesy, it is. "The Skulls" is full of cheese. Sometimes really bad stale cheese. The script is dreadful. You'll find yourself cringing after a few lines. The characters are thin, the camera is wildly out of control, and the finale is flat.

Any redeeming qualities? Well, there's a few small twists and turns in the plot, and Jackson is decent in his first lead role. That's not enough to make this film watchable.
