Khaela You know sometimes you have this weird idea that tell you : it is a long time i did not watch this movie. So you watch the movie again. Sometimes you see new things, laugh at a joke you did not remember... For this movie, the only question is : why I did not trash the movie? On the paper, it seems not bad : Lucy Liu, Alisa Soto, Antonia Banderas, Gregg Henry... but forget theory, the fact is that this movie is one of the worse one I ever watched (including the facts that the characters are not so bad played). Without the quartet, I can not even imagine the abyssal disaster this movie would have been.Let's face it : the initial idea is not bad.The filming is a nightmare (slow motion a 4 years old child would not have tried). The editing (way the story is tell, sorry bad English) is a complete mess. Explosions are silly, the shooting would make laugh anyone.A complete disaster... I put 4 (one for each of the actors, as a compensation to have this movie on their resume :) ).Personnal joke : the animosity between Lucy Liu and Gregg Henry started in Payback (1999) :) As I said, almost good to watch with pals at 04:30 AM (after a very very long day) and with anyone in the bag.
MartinHafer "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" is not just a dumb title for a film, it's also a really, really dumb film. It's the sort of horribly written film chock full of non-stop action that seems to be written for folks who found the Rambo films too intellectually taxing. One stunt after another after another after--all strung together with conspiracy film clichés--that, in a nutshell, is this film.The film starts with the jaded FBI agent (Antonio Banderas--who seems half asleep in this role) being forced to rejoin....oh never mind, you know how this crappy clichés will go. And ultimately, he'll be force to join his old nemesis, the super-dangerous Lucy Liu (!!) to fight the powers of not-niceness that threaten to control the destiny of the Free World. And so, to do this, they punch and kick, blow up stuff and kill. This is punctuated by kidnappings, mayhem and conspiracies--none of which seem anything more than plot devices.Overall, not a lot to provide interest to anyone--even stupid people. Silly--just the sort of action film you might expect Jethro Bodine to make--if he was real and had his uncle's millions to finance this dud. I could imagine him directing this thing and shouting "Hoo-Wee--we gots lots of double-naught spies!!".
utemetsu I'm not entirely how to say this while staying civil, but don't waste your time and the two dollars you'll spend getting ahold of this utter piece of bat feces. Let's face it. A director named 'Kaos' is bound to make bad movies, if only because the man makes no sense. Filled with lines which make no sense, actions scenes which make you feel like you're watching 18-20 old women beat each other with their purses and vacuum cleaners in slow motion, you'll spend more time going to the bathroom, getting snacks, and doing other things than actually watching this, checking back every 20 minutes to see if the plot actually progresses (which, I'm sad to say, doesn't). It cost me two dollars and and hour of my life. Antonio Benderez, I want that money and time back. Now.
MuggySphere I liked this.Not a bad film, and in some ways quite good fun. I can't understand the bad reviews on IMDb. Which reminds me another movie for me to write about on there..... I've done over 50 reviews on there.81 minutes can go slow or it can go fast and this went fast. For the most part it was fun and only bad point was the rather muted audio for when characters were speaking and some of the music not cutting out when scenes changed mood or location. A lot of little bits reminded me so much of one of my favourite TV shows La Femme Nikita and I nearly jumped with surprise when they started talking about canceling targets and such, and going "off profile" which was so much of the lingo used in LFN.. I miss that show. (Note to self must complete LFN set) I think I'll give this 6/10 It's not perfect but it's not bad either.
