Starring Mario Van Peebles and Bruce Payne, the story is set in Los Angeles where the police department has assembled a unique squad of officers who possess the ability to turn into werewolves.

Max Dire is a Los Angeles detective who is feeling the strain that his profession entails when his wife of two years, Liza, accuses him of bringing his work home.

[2] The script writer Richard Christian Matheson stated that "most monsters have a sort of grudge against humanity, but I don't think Garou does: he simply dislikes crime.

[3] Matty Budrewicz of UK Horror Scene stated that Payne's performance was 'completely electric..., unleashing a turn of magnetic and seductive evil'.

[6] Gary Collinson stated that 'what Full Eclipse lacks in logic (and humour) it makes up for in John Woo-esque action sequences and a reasonable budget to unleash a decent amount of destruction'.

[8] In Dan Lopez's view although Full Eclipse 'is initially exciting and interesting, it decays into an overly simplistic, badly orchestrated horror film about midway through'.

[9] Garrett Collins stated that the film was a 'pretty pleasurable hour and a half, which is also infused with a real listenable, almost John Carpenter-ish score by Gary Chang' and that 'Peebles is watchable enough, and Payne (Passenger 57) is a slimy bad guy'.
