McCinsey's Island (1998)

Sadly Over-hyped

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The acting in this movie is really good.

A former secret agent finds a treasure map and decides to find the loot. But he is not the only one. McCinsey's Island is no different than any other Hulk Hogan movie since it's just as stupid as all the others were too. Unfortunately this time Robert Vaughn (Superman III) and Grace Jones (A View to a Kill, Conan The Destroyer) somehow agreed to star in this abomination and i don't see how? If you like Hogan just watch him as Hogan in his WWE stuff and not his movie stuff cause he is probably at his worst self once again in this flick too. (0/10)

i was the "henchman" in the black shirt and backwards ball cap with a hellraiser box tattoo, close up when the grenade went off, and I'm about to laugh cause it was so cheesy, but hey it was an easy 225 dollars,but i knew it was a straight to USA network movie when i saw it...but the Germans probably liked it a lot more, it was filmed in new port richey, florida, in basically someones field, the city was so proud that there was a movie being filmed their, that they treated the cast and crew like royalty, and threw them a big party (i.e. free drinks and chicken fingers). even the crew realized what a turd this movie was....one guy just walked off the set, and i had to double for him, look for when the kid falls of the back of the boat and two guys haul him out of the water, they switched us mid scene, because they were to lazy to do a reshoot, and i look NOTHING like the guy i switched with...I'm at least 60 pounds more than him and a half a foot taller...i was the only extra that would get in the water without a fuss, i worked as a plumbers apprentice once...a little water doesn't bother me

I'd spent the Saturday night awake, chatting to friends online, and so consequently I was feeling a little tired on Sunday morning. I was staying at a friend's house so there were two of us crashed in his room in front of the computer. We switched the TV on and crashed about 15-20 minutes into this movie.At first I thought that the movie was a creation of my own tired, over-imaginative mind; OK this is a dream, I'm dreaming this, I can handle this, I ought to lay off the peanut M&Ms.But no. The more we watched, the more I realized this was real. Very real.Hulk Hogan was Hulk Hogan, usually sporting a wry little smile that suggested to me "yes I know this film is pants, I'm not taking it seriously". Robert Vaughn was trying desperately to act (doing rather well too). The remainder of the cast (yes Grace Jones, I'm mainly thinking of you) would probably have failed an audition for a Nativity Play on this performance.But it doesn't stop there. Maybe because we didn't see the start but all kinds of plot lines didn't appear to make sense, nothing seemed to follow on from each other, I never felt any tension in the movie and upon watching the scene near the end with Grace Jones water skiing (?) onto the beach I was left wondering ... "WHY???". The dialogue was pretty poor [IMDB lists no "memorable quotes" which in this case would also make a good plot summary].I'm left with the general thought of "why was this movie made", except as an example on how not to make a movie.Closing thoughts. It is the worst movie I have ever seen (and I saw "Robocop 3" at the cinema!), I can't explain it any more than I already have done, you will never complain about movies again. That alone makes this movie a "Must See"!!It is August. I'm hoping they go on to show "Santa with Muscles" at Christmas.

Hulk Hogan and Robert Vaughn are two bright points in this otherwise forgettable movie. A retired secret service agent (Hulk Hogan) is solicited by his Sherlock Holmes like partner (Robert Vaughn) to recover a boy, McCinsey's tresure, and an evil war monger (Grace Jones)all in all two stars
