homecoming8 Wesley Snipes. The man of Passenger 57, Demolition Man, U.S. Marshals, The Blade Trilogy.. But also films like Murder At 1600, The Art Of War and Game Of Death are among his best but we've also had to endure a lot of trash (see almost everything else in his filmography for that).His latest success was his performance in the flawed Expendables 3. With "Armed Response" he really hit a new low. That also goes for Anne Heche (why is she in this movie ?). I read the bad reviews but watched it anyway because I was prepared it was not just an action movie, but an action/horror movie. Well, it wasn't either. No scares, no action, no fighting, no thrills, no tension. Just one single location and one 'special forces' team trying to figure out what's going on for the entire running time of 90 minutes. You'll get bored out of your mind because nothing happens. Dialogue and script are laughable. The first sign is the moment when a soldier reports back to squad leader Snipes that he found one of the missing men who's dead. Snipes'response is simply "okay". He doesn't even ask if and how he's killed. Seems trivial because no one knows what's going on and what they're fighting at that time.. More people show up dead and then they're (rather easily) trapped.It really isn't worth your time sticking around waiting for the revelation because it's just stupid.
subxerogravity So this is not an action movie starring Wesley Snipes, this is a horror movie with Snipes in it. I went to see if cause the way Snipes was all over the movie poster (all by himself) I was hoping for a decent action film with hopefully one stylish Snipes fighting scenes. What I got instead was something I can see people having a hard time advertising.Snipes leads a team of marines into a prison where a secret government interrogation tool is being held in order to find out why they lost contact with the first half of the team. As the movie progressed, I'm thinking it was going to be some hi-tech, who-done-it mystery as the crew used surveillance to find out what happen to the first team but as Wesley's team gets picked off one by one, I'm seeing it as a completely different demographic. Even though it's not scary, it still had all the elements,similar to how the action movie, Aliens is a horror movie about marines battling monsters, and how Predator is the same thing. This movie is no where near as good as Aliens or Predator, but it is a very good suspense drama about war. The area where the action takes place is a huge prison that looks like a video game. Plus gene Simmons of Kiss ( who now has a bald head) is in it. Confused cause I did not get what I came for but it does not disappoint.http://cinemagardens.com
Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) What was WWE Studios, KISS' Gene Simons and Wesley Snipes thinking producing this mess? Did they read the same screenplay I just watched and say "let's do this"? OK I get it, Wesley Snipes must've pushed this film because he was to star in it (although not the main character), but what was everyone else smoking? This is the first (and hopefully last) attempt at writing from Matt Savelloni. This film was total nonsense, with more plot holes, missing plots and confusing dialogue than each of the 93 minutes of run time. And of that 93 minutes, I'd say at least 15 mins where the same series of empty corridor shots with dumb bright beams coming from the windowed walls - totally pointless. Someone got bored tying the screenplay and copy- pasted "freeze camera at empty corridor #6 for 1 minute". And the dialogue - worst I've seen in a long time.The only decent aspects of this film were Matthew Irving's cinematography, and (being very generous here) actor-turned-director John Stockwell's directing - although if he ever does the multiple fast zoom-in zoom-outs (during the war conflict scene) again, he should just stick to acting.Oh ya, the acting... terrible. This was Anne Heche's worst acting, as if she dreaded being in any scene. And as for Wesley Snipes, he looked so bored in every scene, even the only fight scene he was in was boring.Had more effort been put into the concept (hired a professional writer to give the screenplay a huge face-lift - for starters), and had the director cracked the whip a little more, there certainly was room for potential. Instead, I had to watch a film with trained military walking around solo (not in pairs to watch each others '6') with the same gun and flashlight held up, constantly startled, pointing the flashlight around and entire room over and over, and saying "who's there!?". Or someone laying dead with half their skull missing and his buddy crouched over top of him calling his name (as if asking "are you OK?!") expecting him to answer. Seriously, OK an amateur wrote this garbage, but who wasted their money to fund and yet approved this garbage?It's only a generous 2/10 from me only for the decent cinematography and a few good acted and intense scenes here and there.
Michael Ledo Something at "Site 9" interrogation center eliminates everyone there. A team lead by Wesley Snipes is tasked to find out what happened. Joining the team is Gabriel (Dave Annable) the designer of the "Temple" computer system which can also tell if you are telling the truth by examining minute changes in a person's temple. Gabriel has been able to work his way into a bottle after his son died...the lone character build up feature. Once the team gets inside, they discover the people killed in the opening clip plus an unexpected guest. They struggle against the electronics. There is action in the flashbacks as to not slow the pace until the real action takes place. The science fiction aspect enters the feature late. I would hesitate to classify it as "horror." Fairly decent action film, similar to some low budget indies. We really don't have any real clues as to what is going on until well into the story. Dialogue could have been better. BTW If a person leaves a classified government facility their access is removed from system and codes are changed. Just saying.Guide: minimal F-words, no sex or nudity
