Hey, dont’ you dare give me that look. It was hot as hell in Hollywood and I don’t have air conditioning in my apartment. Yes, I did see this piece of crap. How bad was it?
Jesus Christ, it’s a B-movie that’s just bad. It’s not fun enough to be good nor is it bad enough to be fun. It takes itself too seriously on every level. The acting, the plot, the writing, the direction… oh holy lords, the writing and directing!
First, every bit of subtext doesn’t need to be stated; we get that he’s seperated from his wife and we know why without it being spelled out. As for the directing, have you ever heard of a wide shot? Dude, it’s a kung-fu action movie. Let the stunts play out. When you cut it like a music video we can’t tell what the hell is happening. Talk about frustrating!
No, frustrating is the Entertainment Weekly review. Did you guys smoke crack before watching this movie? That “twist” that any blind simpleton could have seen a country mile away was right at home in the POS.
But I will agree that Van Damme playing twins would have made this better. Then it might have had a chance at being so bad it could possibly be fun.
And just so you don’t think I’m being all indie-film high and mighty, here are two bad b-movies I love: DREAMCATCHER and BELLY. Put them in your Netflix queue, hit the bong (trust me, it’ll help) and enjoy these crap-tastic movies.
