It's not that bad!


I decided to ignore the bad rating of this movie, and watched it. I don't regret that! Of course, it's the kind of story that has been used a lot before. But the dramatic elements, good action scenes and well acting performances of Seagall and especially Tom Sizemore, who played his role very well made this movie an entertaining and watchable product.

Come on, do you guys really hate it that much?

I don't see any arguments for your opinion here. Don't have them or don't wanna share them?

In fact it is that bad, but that's what makes it so damn good! I can't remember how I first saw this, I think on cable late night. I was floored by the bad acting and silly ass plot, but in a good way. I found myself laughing from scene to scene. Sorry, but I even laughed at Nas' death scene because it was just one of the most cliched death scenes ever and Sizemore's reaction is almost funny (like all of his other reactions in the movie). Seagal is priceless as the head of the bomb squad who's always bringing up the "zen" of things. He provides many laughs, intentional or not. At times, the film feels like a comedy or a joke that all of these guys are playing. Nevertheless it's entertaining for that reason. The action is hilarious and the villain (played as over the top as possible by Dennis Hopper) bounces back and forth from having an accent to not having one at the speed of light. The lover of cheezy badly acted action films will love this. I urge those people to check this out right away. You may not believe it. I had to have my own copy and share it with friends. I can remember passing this out to buddies along with Battlefield Earth for a night of a thousand laughs. I honestly watch the acting in this movie and ask myself "is this really happening?". Sizemore and Seagal compete for who can take this film less seriously. It's that good! In an over the top, really dumb way! Honestly the best performance in the movie is by Jaime Pressly. What is that telling you?

The movie is friggin terrible. Watching Nas act is embarrassing, for all of us humans. The Irish accent comes and goes on Hopper. It's like they just threw together a movie and didn't care how it came out. God, I'm watching it now and just laughing at how corny it is.

it's pretty atrocious. I love segal, mostly all of his films, but not even him nor the other impressive-sounding cast can do anything to save this ticking timebomb of poop. horrible script. horrible acting. editing that left me not knowing what had happened and why this person was dead and who were they? ugh, not fun lol, lucky i'm a vhs collector thats the only reason i'm keeping this =P
