Comeuppance - 2009-10-05

I didn't know the movie actually ever came out. I first heard about this from Nintendo Power.

"Ecks vs. Sever is one of the earliest first-person shooters for the Game Boy Advance and was developed by Crawfish Interactive. Based on an early script of the film Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, it is the first video game developed and released before the film it is based on had begun production."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecks_vs._Sever

The game was highly praised.

The game is actually pretty good, especially for a GBA title. Plus the plot gives us a glimpse at the original concept for this film, which seems like it would have been much better than what we got (not that it would have been GOOD, mind you, but it would have been one of those competent action movies that you remember years later and think "heh, that was a servicably fun ninety minutes." Like Broken Arrow. Remember Broken Arrow? Yeah.)

Well now we know lucy lu will do anything for money, and that gives me hope.


Riskbreaker - 2009-10-05

That's relevant to my interests.

Ahem, oh yeah, this sequence was so dumb it almost makes Ultraviolet look good.


Almost...


Charles - 2009-10-05

Dude. I haven't seen Ultraviolet, but I have seen this, and from what I can tell, this movie is LOADS better. It still sucks, yeah, but at least I was entertained by it.


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2009-10-05

This movie is an abortion of explosions and exposition. Lucy Liu is basically a female McBain and although I don't think it's the worst movie ever made (that award goes to Swept Away) I do think it's the very most unintentionally hilarious action movie made in the last twenty years.


splatterbabble - 2009-10-05

This movie really isn't as bad as a lot of crap that people love these days. If it had a Transformer or some other beloved icon from people's childhoods in it, people would line up to watch it. I think it's pretty indistinguishable from Michael Bay's work.

At least it's not Uwe Boll.


Robin Kestrel - 2009-10-05

As I read the Wikipedia page for Swept Away, I wonder what's that cheesy music that is playing? and then I realize that this clip has failed to hold my interest. Five stars for making car chases/explosions/gun-battles boring.


ztc - 2009-10-05

Even the title of this movie is fucking stupid.


Riskbreaker - 2009-10-05

Now that i think about it, has Antonio Banderas ever done a good movie in his life? I saw some of his spanish flicks and they were really nothing to remember.


Caminante Nocturno - 2009-10-05

The Addams Family.

... Wait, that was Raul Julia.

Shit, am I racist now?


Comeuppance - 2009-10-05

"Do you know how to use that [sword]?"
"Yes! The pointy end goes into the other man."

C'mon, that movie was pretty good.


Doctor Arcane - 2009-10-05

Desperado.


bongoprophet - 2009-10-05

Desperado


MrBuddy - 2009-10-05

That's one of my favorite lines from any movie ever Comeuppance! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was an action sequence that should have been exciting but wasn't.


snothouse - 2009-10-05

Once Upon A Time in Mexico


Godard's Drinking Problem - 2009-10-05

Philadelphia


memedumpster - 2009-10-05

Four Rooms.


Sick Man - 2009-10-05

It's just one big, dumb series of explosions after another. If you haven't seen it, see it.


Nikon - 2009-10-05

Please don't pay to see it.


Caminante Nocturno - 2009-10-05

The sensible driving speeds and respectable space cushions kept the chase scenes from getting too exciting, thus keeping the audience's attention focused on the music.

The music sucked.


Nikon - 2009-10-05

Caminante nails it right on the head. Every shot screams "made for tv movie".


Riskbreaker - 2009-10-05

I was going to comment on that too, this is probably the "safest/slowest" most boring "chase" scene i have ever seen.


BHWW - 2009-10-05

Specifically a late-90's made for TV movie, all that's missing is a car going up in a very badly done CGI explosion.


Sick Man - 2009-10-05

"Nails it right in the head." Urgh.


Nikon - 2009-10-05

Yeah, I should have typed "hits the nail on the head". That was pretty bad. Thanks for pointing it out.


Camonk - 2009-10-05

It's like the action consultant was your grandmother. "Now, dear, I want to make sure that the man who crashes his motorcycle is okay. Oh and when the car goes in front of Anthony Bendas,"

"Antonio Banderas, Nana."

"Yes, him. The car shouldn't be moving. That's dangerous."

I can't think of any other way to make "guy rides exploding bus through traffic" boring.


chumbucket - 2009-10-05

car choreography


Time Travel Mishap - 2009-10-05

That was a hell of a gun to have hanging in a prison bus.


Rafiki - 2009-10-05

Based on how far that bus slid down the road, it must have been traveling at about 450mph. Thank god the director slowed the action down enough for us to see it.


Jellyneck - 2009-10-05

I saw this movie in the theaters. I got up to go to the bathroom and on my way back someone asked me what movie was playing and I couldn't remember.

great movie!


FABIO - 2010-05-27

Holy shit. This was the second thing the director had ever done, the first being some obscure unknown.
