So bad it's good

My brothers and I make it a ritual to rent a B movie from Redbox on the weekends... the worst looking direct-to-video movie we can find. "Treasure Raiders" is easily the best... and by best, we mean so bad that it's entertaining. This movie is all over the place... "The Da Vinci Code" meets "Fast and the Furious" with a little "Indiana Jones" thrown in?

And what's with all of the random exploding cars?

Best moments...

1) When Wolf is looking for the girlfriend on the rooftop. He's already subdued everyone, but he does this long pose where he points both his pistols sideways and it watches him make this "action hero" face in slow-mo. It takes FOREVER, and it's so after the fact. It just looks like they threw this in because it might look cool, yet it makes no sense.

2) The fact that no Russians actually speak Russian, even to each other.

3) Dr. Pablo Ramirez's dialogue not matching his lips. Watch his scene, as it goes on, they don't match.

4) The car blowing up by being shot once by a pistol, and not even in the gas tank area.

5) The fact that Stephen Brand is a horrible driver, loses money all the time, but doesn't care.


I honestly hope there is a sequel, but a note to the filmmakers, please, make the second one with the same lack of attention to detail as you did the first. That's what made it worth watching!
