The film stars Byron Thames, Larry Thomas, James Vallo, David Faustino, Joe Estevez, and Ed Asner.

Their shocking movie is tentatively titled "The Umpire Strikes Back", due to the "created" narrative revolving around a baseball ump (Reggie Bannister), who goes on a killing spree which includes a rip-off of the iconic black-and-white shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, but with a bat replacing the infamous knife.

Many of these cutaway scenes feature the bickering, and at times outrageously violent, cop duo Hines (David Faustino) and Sterns (Joe Estevez), who are trying to find the killer ump.

They felt the scenes with David Faustino showed promise, but were importunely and repeatedly interrupted by the plotline returning to the three leads arguing and debating over production and marketing in the restaurant.

The one scene the reviewer admits to enjoying was the appearance of Ed Asner holding a knife in a manner reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.

[9] Mondo Digital felt the film was less respectable that others in its genre, though "certainly more star-studded,"[2] writing it was "an exercise in random spoofery most notable for its roster of supporting actors: Ed Asner, Robert Z'Dar, Erin Moran, Larry Thomas (aka the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld), Reggie Bannister, Joe Estevez, and David Faustino.

"[4] The performances described as easiest to digest were those of David Faustino and Joe Estevez as bumbing cops and their inclusion of "some much needed comic relief.

Some samples conclude that "the acting is good, the movie looks nice, and it has a few chuckle moments, but the concept isn't all that intriguing and the thing feels more like a broke-ass episode of Family Guy the way it jumps to flashbacks and the movie-within-a-movie".

Given that much of its running time is conversation, a lot of sharp writing chops were necessary to give us characters and dialogue to keep our attention, since this isn't a tits-and-gore affair" but also noting that the title and packaging are "misleading, more likely to draw fans of the dumb, endless parodies rather than the kind of viewer such a thoughtful film requires".
