4.0 out of 5 stars Good action film., April 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Crackerjack [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film moves along well and was alot better then I thought it would be. It is about a cop who goes kinda nuts after his wife and kids are killed. He goes on vacation with his brother and his family. While on this vacation some thiefs take everyone hostage except him. He fights them (kills several) and ends up saving the day. I really liked it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A LOW RENT DIEHARD, February 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Crackerjack [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie plays out like a very low-rent Diehard. In this case Thomas Ian Griffith is Bruce Willis, Christopher Plummer is Alan Rickman, and Vladimir Kulich (he's the reason that I bothered to watch this film in the first place) is Alexander Gudonov. Instead of a wife, Griffith's character has a brother, sister-in-law, and their newborn child. Nastasja Kinski, the entertainment director at the hotel, turns into a love interest for Griffith's character. Plummer plays a former mob hitman who assembles a band of mercenaries to take over the mountain-top resort where his former mob boss is staying in order to get his hands on a fortune in diamonds belonging to his former boss. In order to cover up their theft, they intend to bring an entire glacial field down on top of the resort to wipe it out. There is a scene in it where Griffith's character is supposed to be making a menacing threat to Plummer, and I swear, Griffith is smirking his way all the way through it. I think that he should go back to the world of soap operas where he came from and maybe get a little more acting experience. The acting in this movie is ... and the storyline is such a lousy ... of Diehard it's hilarious. This movie isn't just bad; it's R-E-A-L-L-Y B-A-D!!! It's the kind of movie that you want to get together with a group of friends to watch so you can sling insults at the screen. It would be perfect for the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 treatment.

1.0 out of 5 stars crackerjack or crackerjerk, February 24, 2002

This film is awful. I love martial arts and was hoping to find some here. Unfortunately no. Thomas Griffin is a horrible actor. His character in this movie is poorly written - as is the movie itself. Perhaps the only redeeming point of the entire film is christopher plummer as the bad guy. Save your money, there are hundreds of better movies out there, including your neighbors summer vacation movies he's been wanting to show you.
