One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (28 April 2004)

Wow where to start.... I don't normally do reviews for movies but this one deserves special attention as I think I'm morally obligated to warn the world about this complete POS. SPOILERS....... My list of problems with this movie: 1) The name Creasy gets pretty old pretty quick 2) Denzel's rediculously high threshold for pain/ability to take gunshots to the chest/ability to bleed non-stop for ages without keeling over.... wow this was just absurd 3) Absolutely painful camera work for the entire show, especially during the kidnapping... a scene that might have actually worked otherwise. 4) Stupid characters with lackluster acting, especially found the mother annoying. Walken with a machine gun could have redeemed a lot here.
5) He accomplishes very little to actually stop further violence against the girl/mother/anyone else in Mexico. He's bent on killing off each and every one of the people involved in the kidnapping, and he lets the ringleader behind the kidnappings go? 6) Rediculously long and painfully drawn out scenes for the first hour... ok the girl and him are getting along... we get it. 7) Father commits suicide because his plan that his daughter would be fine backfires and she's dead... OH WAIT no she's not... OOPS I guess I just shot myself for no reason.... Dumb dumb dumb. 8) All the drinking / bible nonsense... they didn't flesh out any of this very well. Nothing came off as plausible. 9) The exchange at the end... originally they said it was a 1 for 1... but now he has to include himself? WHY... he's no good to them why not just kill him? 10) Cresy's ability to launch an RPG from the 2nd story, WALK downstairs, and the other cars don't drive away in time? 11) Mexico City, "A very special place"... that last line pretty much summed up the stupidity that runs throughout. The list goes on and on and on......
