But I doubt it'll be high on anyone's "re-watchable" list. Say it ain't so! This is instantly forgettable (except I'm forcing myself to remember for the purposes of this review) and if you watch it, try to find it amusing in an A-Team kind of way. People getting kicked twenty feet through the air and sundry other ludicrous acrobatic nonsense. And then when it gets to any kind of one-on-one physical stuff, we get treated to a shabby Matrix rip-off, without the benefit of bullet-time. Yet somehow they miss? Even the A-Team would cringe at this foolishness. I mean, when someone runs down a narrow corridor and you fire a sub-machinegun at them, there isn't a whole lot of places the bullets can go other than down the corridor and into the target. It was also ranked 19 on Rotten Tomatoes 100 worst films of the 2000s.
HALF PAST DEAD FILM CAST MOVIE
The movie gained negative reviews from critics and holds a 3 rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was the last theatrical release to feature Steven Seagal in many countries until Machete was released in 2010. Instead we got people firing guns a lot and not hitting a whole Hell of a lot. Half Past Dead was released on November 15, 2002. But all through the movie I kept hoping for that one great, defining fight scene. He's even witty in a way that Jean-Claude Van Damme will never be. Or how about the prison itself, which has an armoury that contains heavy machineguns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers? You also have a helicopter (bearing a striking resemblance to a Huey) with some kind of video game machinegun mounted in the nose. The plot holes are stupendously, glaringly large - for example, prisoners who, when the jail is invaded, fight the invaders rather than attempting to escape.
An action movie so ridiculous that it at least made me smile right the way through. Finally, add in a main star who's getting saggy around the midriff and doesn't appear to be able to do his own stunts anymore. Throw in a bunch of people with really bad acting ability and who don't have real names. Then get a writer/director to pen a plot even Ed Wood would be ashamed of and who's too big a fan of The Matrix and John Woo movies for his own good. This film can be summed up as follows: Take an episode of the A-Team, remove the lovable and roguish characters such as Murdoch, Hannibal, Mr T and Face. We might even get to see him have a stick fight with somebody! Excellent! However, I was in for a rude awakening. I was thinking.A Steven Seagal movie! Cool! We'll get to see him kick people and flip people and break bones. But with a film like this, a bit of fun is what pulls you through the film.Oh dear! What can I say about Half Past Dead? I was really disappointed in it. It is not advisable with a good film because then you would rather that everyone is quiet. Only reason to watch this one is in this corona time: Virtual Movie Theater, with this you can watch the movie with your friends at the same time while talking about the movie. It's funny at times, but it's a shame that not even a single action scene is worth it. The intro is hilarious with Ja Rule flying out of the car, but it is of little use and after that you get a kind of The Rock for the retarded with a touch of Die Hard and an attempt to hook up to the Matrix hype. Quite strange also how unnecessarily complicated the scenario is. Don Michael Paul (has a great profile picture on IMDb.) is a crappy director and screenwriter. They are rarely better in terms of scenario, but have just a little more eye for the action. Too bad this movie didn't have an Asian action director. Maar bij een film als deze is een beetje geinen wel wat je door de film heen trekt. Het is bij een goede film niet zo aan te raden want dan wil je liever dat iedereen stil is. Het is slecht gedraaid en gemonteerd.Įnige reden om deze te kijken is in deze corona tijd: Virtual Movie Theater, hiermee kun je met je vrienden de film tegelijk kijken en ondertussen lullen over de film. Het is bij momenten wel geestig slecht maar het blijft jammer dat zelfs geen enkele actie scene de moeite is. Crew: Camera (Deluxe color), Mike Slovis editor, Vanick Moradian music, Tyler Bates music supervisor, Michael Lloyd production designer, Albrecht Konrad art director, Andreas Olshausen set.
De intro is hilarisch met Ja Rule die uit de auto vliegt, maar heeft amper nut en daarna krijg je een soort The Rock voor zwakbegaafde met een vleugje Die Hard en een poging om in te haken op de Matrix hype. Best apart ook hoe nodeloos ingewikkeld het scenario in elkaar steekt. At the beginning of the film, Sasha Petrosevitch (Steven Seagal) is briefly seen wielding a stainless or nickel-plated 1911-type. Don Michael Paul (heeft een geweldige profiel foto op IMDb.) is een waardeloze regisseur en scenarist. Die zijn qua scenario zelden beter maar hebben net iets meer oog voor de actie. Jammer dat deze film geen Aziatische actie regisseur had.
