Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
View MorePlot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
hyped garbage
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
View MoreMan, I remember when having Snipes on screen would give you chills ... in this move everything is so forced ... it makes you vomit :( Snipes, what happened to you man, you used to be not only high kicks but a good screen plan (to some extent). This movie is just forced :/ People that are not fans on Blade will say that blade was A LOT better ... and that says a lot that cheesy vampire flick is better than this.So, if you like a movie that carters to conspiracy theorists that claim that system is corrupt, you like corny c*** where main characters are cardboard cut outs of stereotypes, a movie where even action scenes where you should run for you life looks like somebody is speed walking - watch it.And yes I din't understand people that give more that 1 star to movie that has no value ... to have some value you need to go beyond large CG muzzle on pistol (specially one with suppressor, for f*** sake)
View MoreI have just had the most miss-fortunate of experiences that I felt compelled to write a review of this film, my first ever. I have been a Wesley Snipes fan from the first film that I saw him in. He has always, I believed been a good indication of a quality film. And so having found a film that I was not familiar with I sat down to watch in anticipation on a Sunday evening. The start of the film left me a little confused as to the plot, but never the less I gave it time and watched on. It seemed that his confession would be either heart felt or not at all. This I put down to screen writing. But still I ploughed on. This was beginning to drag I thought to myself. Before long I found my mind wandering and it was time for coffee. That would break the monotony. The acting was wooden. The pauses between the dialogue cavernous. The cinematography and editing was bad and confusing jumping from colour to black and white to slow motion with some weird pastel effect. The fight scenes were unrealistic. There seemed to be an endless supply of bullets. Not once do I recollect seeing anyone in the film reload a gun, and only once did anyone run out of bullets right at the end so that the final fight scene could take place. An obvious convenience. The end deflating.
View More(46%) A fairly reasonable direct to DVD outing for Snipes, that is better than most of what Seagal can usually churn out without necessarily being up to cinema standards. There's a touch more effort put into the writing, even if it is pretty ropey at times, and the slightly slower pacing allows itself to build at least some sense of character absent from almost all movies of this type; there's also a coherently told plot adding another string to its bow. What does let this down more than a little though is the distracting direction that feels like the director made his way through every annoying effect preinstalled in his camera. With added help from famous faces of Robert Davi, Ernie Hudson, Zoe Bell, and fair share of decent action, making this is a decent watch, if not entirely anything that needs to be seen.
View MoreI guess you guys didn't notice that it was stated that the hospital wing was mostly empty because they had moved the patients and staff to a newly built wing? Anyway, I liked this movie. Even though the plot was simple, they kept it moving (no pauses to reload guns ;-) and it was suspenseful because you couldn't be sure what might happen next. Excellently choreographed and performed hand-to-hand and foot-to-foot combat. Wesley has the moves, wow. His deadpan suited this movie, too, I feel. Just enough humanity was included by way of innocent bystanders, but not too much so as to distract from the urgent intent of the protagonists. The unusual photographic effects here and there added to the edginess, in my opinion. Pure adrenaline rush, if you stay with the flow.
