About this deal

The abysmally unimaginative direction attempts, and sorely fails, to be saved by an editor who has just discovered the effects panel in Final Cut Pro. Either that or he fell asleep on the keyboard. Constantly.

Example - In one scene the good guy SAS MAJOR strolls into the room in a a uniform with two stripes on the sleeve, REALLY??? Surely someone in a film crew of this size must have known that this is the rank insignia of a corporal, SURELY??? I could ramble on about how utterly f**king dire this movie is but you get the idea. The 1-dimensional villain is played by Simon Phillips - some guy who wants to be an actor and so produces films and puts himself in starring roles. His spectrum of characters vary from being a fat bloke with a beard to a bearded bloke who is fat.

No Results

Punches don't connect, fight choreography is all over the shop, the hero spends half the film in the toilet, and Phillips is better suited to pantomime, as his performance is just bonkers.

Seriously, the script sounds like it was written by a teenage boy as a last-minute homework assignment. If any script consultants are ever used by this "writer/director" I would be astounded. But, Hans Gruber wannabe Alexander Holt, escapes from prison and plots the kidnap of the PM, there's only one man to turn to......and John McClane was last seen in Russia..... I watched this primarily out of pure morbid curiosity to see if it could actually be worse than the prequel and from that point of view alone it didn't disappoint.

Similar Moives

More in the style to which we've become accustomed from Press On Features - a production company that sounds more like an attribute for a sanitary towel than a purveyor of cinematic works o' fart.
