Best movie ever!
Admirable film.
I honestly liked this film even though it was not the best.Wesley plays Dean Cage, a black ops soldier who encounters other CIA officials that mistake him for someone else. Dean is in for a very long night as he's pursuers relentlessly try to take him out.It's been a while but I remember seeing this back in 2006 on TV and back in 2009, I watched it on order through the library and I remember liking it, even though it wasn't the greatest.The movie from what I remember had some decent action scenes, you know, It's your standard direct to DVD action fair but I liked it.Overall a decent little action film, It's one of those movies you can watch on a rainy day.I give it a 5/10. Somewhat forgettable but enjoyable. Give this look.
"Unstoppable" is another assembly-line action movie from Snipes. This time around Wesley plays Dean Cage who is (of course) a CIA agent. A long time ago, he was kidnapped and tortured in a prison camp. He's mistakenly the target of Sullivan (Stuart Wilson), an evil drug maker. Cage is then injected with a drug that makes him hallucinate. If you look into Snipes' eyes, you can see he doesn't care about the movie.He still puts in a professional performance though. It looks like he's forced to do his martial arts. The explosion on the highway is obviously green screened. Overall, it's not a bad movie, it's just lazy.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
Wesley Snipes play the part of an ex-soldier that is going to marry his girlfriend, but, in a bar, he is confused with another person and a group of traitors to CIA inject him a powerful drug that mixes reality and memory. He and his girlfriend have to fight in order to find an antidote and to crush the organization that has attacked Wesley. A typical bad action film, with all the clichés that can be found in this kind of films. Directed poorly, with scenes not very well-done and a lot of unbelievable moments of mastery in aiming. Neither the actors nor the plot are very good so the film is quite bad. On the other hand it has any moment of breathe and the action does not bore the spectator, (unexpected) which is a (little) good point. Ideal for TVfilm (it was originally thought as one), for seeing and forgot, but a little enjoyable if you like action films
Before I start about this movie, I know many of you would like to direct your blame at Wesley, maybe not for just this movie but a lot of turkeys he's been making recently (Zig Zag, 7 seconds, The Marksman, Liberty stands still). Anyway he deserves blame in this film for not having more involvement on the script, which gets a bit silly. The movie is by no far means the worst movie I've seen; you just have to see another Snipes movie, "7 seconds" to do that! And at least unstoppable has strong performances from Snipes himself and the gorgeous Jacqueline Obradors. Its just the budget of this movie is clear to see, and the storyline is wafer thin with many loose ends not explained, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje plays an agent for the CIA named Junod, you may all remember him as Adebisi in the greatest TV show ever, OZ. Here he portrays a high ranking officer within the CIA with the worst American western style accent ever heard; there are even pauses during his dialogue for him to put the accent on. There are a few good fight scenes, like the scene in the Diner when Dean Cage (Snipes's character) beats down his attacker, and the chase to hunt him down is mildly enjoyable hence the generous maybe biased 5 out of ten I gave it. Stuart Wilson does a good job as the bad guy, but why he doesn't kill his bumbling henchmen especially Kim Coates character puts a big question mark on his characters ruthlessness. The story stumbles into the final scenes with so much predictability you feel like Deja vu. If you haven't enjoyed a decent performance from our dear friend Wesley since Jungle Fever or even Rising Sun, then don't expect it here, in fact who knows if we'll ever see another classic Wesley Snipes movie, now that he seems to make low budget straight to video fodder........watch only if it's on TV and nothing better is on
