As Good As It Gets

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Steven Seagal wears a jacket for most of the film so that you can't see the bulge of his fat sticking out and getting in the way of the lack of credibility in this film. It's a comedy to watch Steven try to pretend like the cameras will hide his lack of quickness while everyone with guns watches him make his way to do his "moves" in slow motion.Even if you're fan of this no talent clown you will want to skip this on cable and on DVD, that is unless you want to mock the man for how seriously he takes himself. It's hard to believe he was ever anything of worth at all in the martial arts and I wonder how much was actually true and how much was fabricated legend like most of his career and alleged dealings with the mob.This is really a horrendous film.

Roel Reiné's 'Pistol Whipped' is A Passable Entertainer, that has some arresting moments & hardcore action scenes working on its advantage.'Pistol Whipped' Synopsis: Matt is an elite ex-cop whose life has gone down hill since he was kicked off the Force. After a rough encounter with a mysterious henchman, Matt is brought face to face with his only chance at reclaiming his life and clearing his gambling debt markers.'Pistol Whipped' is fairly entertaining, with some arresting moments making it reach the safe zone. J.D. Zeik's Screenplay is fairly decent. Roel Reiné's Direction has potential. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are average. Action-Sequences are very nicely executed.Performance-Wise: Steven Seagal is still kicking-butt, which is obviously good. Lydia Jordan does a fine job. Lance Henriksen has a brief role. Arthur J. Nascarella is decent.On the whole, 'Pistol Whipped' is Passable Stuff.

I didn't expect to see Casey Ryback, but I wasn't disappointed either. Steven Seagal seems to be doing better than his last direct-to-video efforts.He's an ex-cop with an alcohol and gambling problem, and is also neglectful of his daughter. He has a chance to get his life back together.His quest for the bad guys leads him to a place where he didn't expect.The action is hot and heavy with car chases and a final cemetery scene that ends in a blaze!Seagal is back!

Well I was looking forward to seeing it and I finally got the chance to watch it and let me tell you I was not disappointed in any way. This movie I don't understand why it went direct-to-video in my opinion it deserved to go into theaters but any way let me tell you why this movie is so good. The storyline this movie follows is really good and very well written, The characters are very well developed and are very interesting. The acting is pretty good some of the acting though is a bit bad but other than that it is pretty good, obviously Steven Seagal is the best actor in this movie. The action is non stop and for the most part looks very realistic. The special effects are well done although some of them look fake but for the most part it look very realistic and is well done. So make sure you you rent or buy Pistol Whipped because it is awesome.Overall rating: ******** out of ********** **** out of *****
