AVOID AVOID! 1 of the worst!
This is undoubtedly one of the very worst Seagall movies, I think only the LA bomb squad one was worse than this piece of *beep* Now Im all for Seagall, let no man say otherwise, but this garbage is simply an insult to any kind of audience.
What is good? Seagall himself has grown older and gotten sort of fat through his cocain addiction (body builds up liquid), and I think that look suits him. But thats where the praises ends.
Seagall doesnt do his own fights anymore, probby due to the aforementioned snorting habbit, he now uses a bodydouble which means there just about no fights and absolutely zero cool moves. The producer tries to compensate with gun fights..but these are so sloppily and unrealistically made that they come off laughable at best! From the very first scene where a trained marksman cant hit a clumsy cow (the leading female part) at point blank range using single fire shots from an automatic assault rifle, this movie is an insult to all reasonability.
Now I could go on and on, but I will only mention two more things, simply because they are so annoying that they by themselves could and would ruin any movie.
First, the leading female part. One may only wonder what she has done how many times to how many people to get this part. She couldnt act if her life depended on it, in fact her performance is so poor there is not one single scene featuring her that isnt toe cringing! I cant possibly describe the magnitude of the error in casting her, it simply has to be witnessed to be believed, but then again, you can live without the experience..believe me.
Second, this moronic American patriotism that we have seen so often, and that can best be coined "patridiotism", shows its ugly face once again. Throughout the movie we are seeing crimes perpetrated by US officials and are having crimes against humanity by US officials explained as "okay" and "neccesary", and yet(God help us)when the acting cow described in the paragraph above recieves "the American president's" congratulations by third party over a phone in the end, her face lightens up in what will go down as the most moronic facial expression ever caught on film. Now Im about as anti-islam and Aryan-looking as the next guy, but *beep* I hope somebody burns your rotten nation down to the ground!
America and its corrupt government of capitalist scum and warcriminals and state terrorists is the biggest threat to humanity and freedom since Stalin. The entire world knows this, even some Americans, and yet they have the audacity to make *beep* movies like this..AVOID! AVOID!
