1.0 out of 5 stars Haven't I Seen This Film Before?, June 12, 2006

By	Brian E. Erland "Rainbow Sphinx" (Brea, CA - USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Suggestion. Instead of buying or renting 'The Detonator' from '06 why not watch Wesley's earlier '00 film 'The Art of War' instead. Why you ask? Why because it's virtually the same movie that's why. Oh there are a few differences, Wesley Snipes is now a C.I.A. agent instead of a U.N. agent, he's in Poland instead of New York and the beautiful woman he's protecting this time is Russian instead of Chinese. Other than that it's EXACTLY THE SAME! 'Detonator' Director Po-Chih Leong even had the nerve to copy the supposedly surprise ending used by Christian Duguay in 'The Art of War.'

Positives: Silvia Colloca adds some feminine charm to an otherwise dreary film and Matthew Leitch is excellent as tough guy Dimitri.

'The Art of War' is a very good movie, 'The Detonator' isn't. Trust me on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars AS EXPLOSIVE AS THE SNEEZE OF A SQUIRREL, May 27, 2006

By	Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

When I was watching this movie, I found myself going through a mental list of what I needed to do the next day, what we were going to have for breakfast the next morning and hoping this movie would end soon. Wesley Snipes is about exciting as watching the rinse cycle on a washing machine, the plot is so convoluted and incoherent, and the action sequences look like they came out of a movie catalogue. Ho hum, indeed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this movie, July 11, 2009

By	Alan A. Cummings "AAC" (Port Angeles, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Do not, do not purchase this movie. It is so strange and the plot is so screwed up that I turned it off after 15 minutes as I didn't know what was going on. If this is what to come of Wesley Snipes I'd give up on purchasing any future movies made by him unless you wan't to be disappointed. The same thing happened to Steven Segal. His first few movies were great, but as he got older, they went down the tubes. Just needless violence and profanity. Once again, unless you want to waste your money, don't purchase this movie.
