Once again, good thing I didn’t pay to see this piece of excruciating shit! I am still in awe, of how horrendous this movie was. I still can’t believe this movie actually had a budget of 15 Million!! How or why Seagal signed aboard this mega junk is beyond me. From what I’ve heard, since his feud with Julius R.Nasso, Seagal can’t find a studio that will pay him the 16 Million Dollar salary he was getting when working at Warner Bros. You know what? I don’t blame the unenclosed studios; who would want to hire this fat ass, that can no longer fight nor do any of his stunts. He is constantly requiring for a stunt double, studios having to re-dub his lines- which reminds me, this movie breaks the record of Seagal’s voice being dubbed; about 75% of the entire picture is dubbed by another actor. According to producers of the film, they claim that a large portion of the audio was lost in post production, and Seagal refused to show up for the re-recording sessions; again a lazy fat ass that no studio wants to hire. Yet, luckily for him, Sony pictures hired him for 2 million. No wonder he does 5 or 6 of this shitty movies a year; has no other choice, the only way he can climb back up to the 16 Million figures to maintain his bad eating habit lifestyle.
But aside Seagal’s lifestyle, let’s get to the movie, Seagal plays Commander Marshall Lawson, after his crew gets killed on a wild night of booze and chicks, it is up to Marshall to investigate what happened to his team members-oh by the way, it’s so hilarious how he reacts to when people die, especially those close to him. He barely has any emotion whatsoever. In one scene he pushes a door slamming one of his team members (who was already dead) doesn’t even check the pulse and just leaves the scene; what an unsympathetic bastard! Later we find out that the hooker that killed the 3 teammates was in fact working for some pimp who used to be a scientist; he created a DNA altering drug called CTX. The drug turns people in to vampire like people, being also highly addictive. This scientist/pimp wants to dump the drug into the water system and get everyone hooked on the drug. Why? Fuck I don’t know? This shit was just freaking retarded.
Like I said earlier the whole thing was almost entirely dubbed by an another actor, who sounds nothing like Seagal; to think the fat ass has no respect for a movie he in fact produced, shows how much workmanship he has. The movie also has some of the most ridiculous fight scenes, this one amped it up in the “patty cake” department. There’s one scene of many where Seagal waits for his team to fight this bad ass chick, she is supposed to be so powerful and shit, due to the drug, so, she can single handedly just beat anyone she pleases…except one person…that’s right the egotistical fatty bloke of Seagal. She fights the fatty and all they do is freaking patty cake. Also, there is a double for almost every other scene, more so than the other ones I reviewed before. There is one particular scene where Seagal is talking on the phone, it’s so god damn obvious it’s not him, gee, could it be cuz I am not seeing the back of the double, but in fact his full much thinner face.
I also read somewhere that the original plot was to be about aliens, but last decision was to cut that idea out and reshoot almost the whole thing. Seagal, being the fat fuck he is, decided not to show up and just let the director and producer handle the thing to their best judgment, again, good workmanship Seagal, good job a-hole. So instead of Aliens they changed it to the whole DNA altering/ Vampire Drug. I wonder if the movie be any better without the altering, I’m assuming it was the same shit. Lastly the cover of this movie just cracked me up, it so bluntly obvious that it’s a Photoshop picture of some random guy, and then super imposed a picture of Seagal in to the double, to make him look thin. Even more ludicrous is the matrix-like letters in the background that are not relevant to the plot of the movie. With true honesty, as a diehard fan of Seagal, avoid this shitbag.
Bottom Line:
This movie so shit! That I am not even going to get into the aspects of video and audio, it doesn’t even matter to be honest with you. Pretend I never spoke of it, you will live a much better life not seeing this mega crap, trust me on this one.
