Ballistic, unfortunately, is one of the latter. Oh,
it has lots and lots and lots of action and stunt scenes,
but in terms of anything else the movie shoots itself in the
foot.
The plot is acceptable, but mishandled, and Ballistic wavers
on that line between good action yarn and let's-throw-in-all-the-explosions-we-can-to-cover-up-the-gaps-in-logic.
Don't get me wrong, Banderas is good as a worn-out agent
Ecks, it's just that the scripting fails him badly.
Lucy Liu is super-badgirl Sever, who is out for revenge against
the controllers who ruined her life. Her attitude is bad -
the acting not much better - and she fails the kick-ass test
of believability.
The video transfer is very good and the sound even better.
Now I found Ballistic disappointing, however, if you
want a no-brainer time in front of the screen then it may
just suit your mood.
There are better movies around.
Conclusion: 65% Extras: 50%.
