I like action but gimme a break................ ............


I knew what I was getting myself into when I rented a Stone Cold movie, but great goodness this was bad. I spent most of the movie wondering where have all the good action movies gone. I felt the fight scenes were terribly constructed and a lot of the camera angles were enough to make you sick--especially the bizarre looping views of the "motorcycle chase." I am a chick and I thought the most thrilling part of the movie is that Grace was smokin'. I am still trying to figure out Cold's body shape and he appears to be a muscular version of Sponge Bob's buddy Patrick. I digress. I was a Dirty Harry than Lethal Weapon type of gal and Stone Cold just doesn't follow the mold. How that man disappears so easily I do not know and the end stumped me because he is far to obvious to vanish into thin air right under the nose of the FBI. Maybe he is really a ninja in a muscle suit. I would recommend re-watching some of your older action favorites as opposed to devoting any time to this cinematic mess. The extras are pretty funny because they always have so much faith in their creation and the director describing the climax is hilarious.

I agree the direction was horrible and choreography was blatantly bad, don't get me started on the editing.
But other Stone Cold movies have been decent, this one the directing and editing kept me from getting into it. Also now I have a headache.

Damnit Stormy what time is it?
I said it's Dodgeball time, bitch!
