2.0 out of 5 stars Diggin' up a demon, April 29, 2007

By 

Amaranth "music fan" (Northern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guardian (DVD)

Nope,this isn't the male-bonding Coast Guard film starring Kevin Costner&Ashton Kutcher.It's Mario Van Peebles as a Gulf War veteran who must fight an evil unleashed during that conflict (yes,a demon named Tlal who was imprisoned for 3000 yrs,but was inadvertently freed)There's the "Chaos" drug,dirty cops,and a little boy prophet named David.

The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese.There are slow-motion battle scenes,and Van Peebles' female counterpart looks&dresses like Trinity,Neo's girlfriend in the Matrix trilogy.Poor Mario spends most of the movie baffled-until he gets possessed by Tlal.The boy prophet David from Iraq (who's supposed to bring unity between Muslims and Christians) says the magic words,Mario falls from a great height to his death,destroying the demon,and his wife awakens from near-death.Huh?Did I miss something?Oh yeah,the plot.

4.0 out of 5 stars VERY ENTERTAINING ACTION/HORROR MOVIE, December 16, 2003

By 

MICHAEL TAYLOR "SNAKEFIST2" (RICHMOND, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guardian (DVD)

A COP [MARIO VAN PEEBLES] INVESTIGATES MURDERS THAT'RE LINKED TO A DEMON. IT'S A GOOD ACTION/HORROR MOVIE. IT'S COOL HOW THIS MOVIE KEEPS YOU WATCHING. HAS SOME GOOD MURDER SEQUENCES. I REALLY THINK ICE-T SHOULD'VE SURVIVED MUCH LONGER IN THIS MOVIE.
ICE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN MORE SCREEN TIME IN THIS MOVIE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS A GOOD ACTION/HORROR FLICK THAT SHOULD PLEASE FANS OF THE TWO GENRES.
