[EX Q]: plot :
jet li is a chinese cop asked to help some french policemen nab a bad guy .
but one thing leads to another , and the next thing you know
, li 's being chased by the same french cops with whom he was supposed to be working .
a lot of ass - kicking , face - whippings , gun fights
and . . . okay , a little more ass - kicking ensues .
critique : very cool !
now here 's a movie that gives you exactly what you 're looking for
, if what you 're looking for is kickass action , a palpable good cop / bad cop story line , some hardcore stunts and jet li slam - dunking everyone in sight !
the film also moves fast ( a mere 95 minutes ) , develops a certain " cute " chemistry between fonda and li , has nice surroundings
( paris , baby ! )
and gives us one of the best bad guys that i 've seen all year .
tcheky karyo is the devil incarnate in this film .
he is pure evil .
they should have called this movie bad lieutenant 2 as keitel has nothing on this man .
what a great , great monster !
my favorite line of tcheky 's was when li was explaining the whole " kiss of the dragon " thing to him
and he cut him off by saying " kiss my ass !
" pure action movie poetry .
anyway , other than him , jet li also handled his " acting " pretty well in this film , with very little real dialogue to say , but enough to make us believe his character .
actually , just looking into the man 's eyes generally tells you a lot .
fonda was also pretty good , despite playing one of the most trashy and abused women that i have seen in quite some time , but i still felt kinda bad for her
, so i guess she did her job
okay .
but in the end , nobody goes to see this kind of movie for oscar performances .
we go to see jet li movies because we want to see jet li kicking a lot of ass from side to side , and this film delivers gangbusters on that front .
and yes . . .
they have no wire - fu in this movie .
. .
i say again . . .
no wire - work , no bullshit stunts with li floating around in mid - air for over a minute .
it 's all straight action , fist to fist , boot to face and all around cool stunts .
if that 's what you 're looking for ,
i do n't see how you will be disappointed with this film .
yes , it 's not very original in plot ( just take luc besson 's own la femme nikita and mix in plenty of his own the professional et voila ! ) , does have an annoying hip - hoppy soundtrack that just got on my nerves after a while ( i also would have gotten rid of the whole acupuncture thang . . . ) and will have anyone not willing to restrain their disbelief , rolling their eyes all over the place .
but was i entertained ?
thoroughly .
does the film feature more gunplay , martial arts and over - the - top kills that most recent action flicks ?
yes , again .
does this sound interesting to you ?
well , the answer to that question is entirely up to you .
one thing that i would definitely recommend is , as jet li pointed out himself on his website , that you leave the kids at home for this one .
in fact , you might even wanna
leave yourself if you ca n't handle the more violent of sequences .
all in all , a rippin ' , roarin ' fun time !
where 's joblo coming from ?

[EX Q]: plot : a rich guy who does n't believe in love , orders a mail - order bride for himself .
that very evening , the couple is married and fall madly in love soon thereafter .
but what 's this ?
one of them might not be the person they are pretending to be ?
wow . . .
a sin , indeed .
critique : easily
one of the worst movies that i 've seen all year .
too long , too boring , too predictable and too ridiculous for anyone interested in watching a good movie .
what the hell were they thinking when they made this thing ?
( it 's no wonder that the film has been sitting on the racks for about a year ) this felt like a really bad tv movie of the week , with some nudity stuffed in from time to time , just to wake up the audience .
have you ever switched channels and fallen upon one of those ridiculously melodramatic tv movies , one that you just could n't help but switch back to from time to time , just to make sure that it was n't part of some sick joke ?
well , this movie is exactly like that , only it is n't a joke , it is n't on tv
and you are asked to pay money to see it ! !
i say again . . .
what the shite were they thinking ?
okay , so where do i start ?
first of all , the trailer of this film gives away the movie 's main plot twist , the betrayal .
so for the first half hour of the film , you 're basically just sitting there , watching these two " lovers " go through the motions until the " betrayal " occurs .
whoopee , big surprise .
second of all , angelina jolie is horribly miscast in this part .
why ?
well , it 's like this : not for one second
do you ever believe that she is not a nasty backstabbing woman !
i mean , it 's like all of those people who complained about jack nicholson being psycho from the start of the shining , well , the same goes here .
every look in jolie 's eyes screams " psycho " !
then of course , you have the case of the " patsy " husband , a man who just ca n't seem to figure out anything in time .
i mean . . .
how boring is that for the audience ?
you 're watching this guy screw up time after time after time , and somehow , we 're supposed to feel sorry or care about this dude .
no , thanks !
and if we do n't care about him , and we really do n't care about her ( she 's a beeyatch and as confused as we are about her actual motivations in the film ) , who the hell are we supposed to care about in this film ?
well , i 'll tell you .
the only thing that i was worrying about the whole way through this picture was whether or not i 'd actually fall asleep before the end credits rolled .
no suspense , no chemistry between the leads , no real love or passion , no sense of surprise , plenty of plot holes for everyone and an extra moronic ending
.
so why am i even giving this film a rating of three points ?
well , it 's actually pretty simple .
i liked the locations in the movie and the groovy score , but my primary reason for slipping three notches onto this bedpost is for the gratuitous shots of jolie 's boobies ( that 's two points right there ! )
and another one for antonio 's ass ( hairless , just for the record ) .
everything else in this movie was pointless , boring and just plain stupid .
try imagining a soft - porn movie .
. .
but without the plot !
that 's pretty much what you 've got here .
a low point in the careers of both stars .
oops , i almost forgot to mention the crappy dialogue . .
.
god
oh mighty . .
. make it stop ! !

[EX Q]: the booming introduction music finishes , and the camera sweeps over red mountains .
we see two figures looking over a barren , and very red landscape .
they kiss , then walk on .
one of the characters ( schwarzenegger ) slips , and falls .
the glass on his mask cracks .
his face scruches up , and his eye 's begin to pop . . . . .
then doug quaid , played by schwarzenegger , wakes up .
it 's all been a dream .
he wakes up next to his beautiful wife , played by stone , and the film begins . . .
total recall is a typical sci - fi film wrapped around an intresting ( if far fetched ) plot .
quaid , who has never been to mars , keeps on having dreams of the planet , which has now been colanised .
one day , while riding on a train , he 's see 's a ad for a company called ' rekall ' , which implants memories of a holiday , instead of you actually going there yourself .
quaid chooses the ' secret agent on mars ' memory , and then the s
*
* * really hits the fan .
the implant goes wrong , and quaid really thinks he is an agent on mars for about two minutes , until he goes back to normal and ca n't remember a thing .
however , everyone he knows ( his workmates , his wife ) turn against him , saying how ' blabbed about mars ' and ' blew his cover on the mission ' a strange man , called richter , played by ironside , wants to kill him .
quaid , now hopelessly confused , follows the advice given to him , by a ' friend ' .
he get 's his ass to mars .
mars is ruled by cohagen , played by cox , who charges people for air .
against him are the rebels , who are mainly mutants .
the rebel 's need quaid to defeat cohagen , because quaid knows ( but ca n't remember yet ) about a reactor that produces air .
eventually , quaid kills cohagen , turns on the reactor , saves the planet , and goes away with a beautiful girl , just like the guy at rekall promised him .
throughout this plot , there is huge explosions , thousands of deaths ( and i mean a lot of death ) swearing , sex , and everything else that make
's a good verhoeven ( director of basic instinct and starship troopers ) movie .
naturally , there 's some pretty imaginative deaths , with arms getting ripped off , someone getting drilled , and heads exploding .
as you can tell , it 's violent stuff .
but it 's done so stylishly , and of course arnie tones it down with a one liner
, that 's it excusable .
the acting is variable .
arnie , of course , is useless , but he goes has some good lines , and in the first twenty minutes , he even act 's like a normal bloke , not like some action hero .
stone , of course , is useless , making a pretty poor wife , and a pretty poor action hero .
but , she does sex scenes alright .
ticoton ( most recently seen in con air ) , again , is ok , doing some good action , but getting her emotions all wrong .
one minute she hates quaid , the next she loves him , and she never gets this tranisition right .
so , the good guys are awful .
but , the bad guy 's are excellent .
cox is basically reprising robocop , but he 's still great in this , and he delivers the best line in the whole film near the end .
ironside is superbly evil , with an utterly emotionless face .
the supporting cast are fine , and not even the comedy sidekick ( this time in the form of a taxi driver ) is annoying .
one disappointing aspect , though , are the special effects .
ilm and dreamquest
do some good work ( such as a subway station scene ) but the model work is not so good .
some of the model heads look appaling fake , and quatto is a major disappointment .
another irritating thing is the product placement .
there are a lot of plugs ( and a good mars today gag ) however ,
the sets look great , and the special effects at the end of the film are n't too bad either .
there 's also a good soundtrack running through , by jerry goldsmith ( the omen ,
poltergeist , star trek : the motion picture ) overall , then , total recall is a hugely violent , yet hugely enjoyable , action fest , with a reasonable plot thrown in there too , some great bad guys , and some imaganitive death .
for a schwarzenegger movie , this is not bad at all .
in fact , it 's very good .
