All Amazon Customer Reviews (So Far) On Out Of Reach.

[yudansha]

Thanks, Clement. I've seen the first two, but not the last one...

I liked that last review... I still don't know what to expect from OOR as there are very mixed feelings about it. I won't be expecting much from a DTV dvd once I actually sit down to watch it.

Thank you Clement

This guy hit the nail on the head, I couldnt agree more

Well lets see......(SPOILERS), July 28, 2004
Reviewer: Kyle (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Here we have the newest Steven actioner. The premise is basically that Steven s Billy Ray Lancing. A former agent who is now a survivalist working with animals. He is sponsering a girl named Irina. One day he receives a letter saying that Irina is no longer going to be able to correspond with him anymore. He thinks this is strange and goes to check it out. Matt Schulze plays Faisel(the bad guy). He is the boss of a human tracking network. The kids are being sold all across the world. Billy discovers whats really going on and tries to bring the network down.

As for the premise thats pretty much covers it. I liked the story in this one! Made more sense. The movie had a budget of $20 million, but it felt more expensive then that. All of the polish actors did a good job. The girl was good because she had emotion in her. The action SURPRISINGLY was average. There wasnt that much. But it was enough. People who have seen Belly of The Beast will maybe be dissapointed because the action scenes are not as fast. Matt was great as the villian! I would defenitly like to see Matt and Steven work together again. I will list the fight scenes in order:

1. Steven comes to his cabin with 6 men try to make him to go a van. He then says hell go quietly and then uses his aikido to defend himself.
2. Steven is leaving his hotel room when he sees 2 men coming down the hall. He then punches 1 of them and kicks him. The other he throws out a window.
3. Steven and his partner go to a house. When they get inside a assasin shots at them. Steven then pushes and slaps the guy around, but then escapes.
4. Steven and his partner go to a big room. They hide and wait for the bad guys to come. They have a shoot out thats is pretty fast.
5. The last scene is with Matt and Steven. They slap eachother then go to a sword fight.

All in all the movie was a good one, but dont expect a fast paced thriller like Belly of the Beast.

Cool, atleast we have a few people who like OOR. Thanks!

 

[Serena]

Thanks for that positive review, Reservoir Dog. Good to see another one.

 

[yudansha]

Thanks for another review Res.Dog.

Well, at least Seagal is improving with his DTVs (I mean do you remember the days of The Foreigner? ... compare that to now...)

 

[Clement3000]

Thanks for that positive review, Reservoir Dog. Good to see another one.

I think from now on Serena we should start two threads each time Seagal has a new movie. One would be positive reviews, the other negative reviews, then I could live in my own world and read only positive things about Seagal, because that's what I like to hear. LOL. Just a thought! (Big Smile on My Face)

Big smile on your face.

Nah, no separate reviews. Just mix in a few good ones with the bad and I'll be happy. That's what optimists do. They can see both sides, but prefer the glass half-full.

btw--You must never have read my review of Out for a Kill. I must have used the word "terrible" about 30 times--in one paragraph.

Serena I'll keep that in mind, I actually really liked Out for a kill, now the Foreigner is a different story, and I know you liked that one. So it's funny how everyone has such different opinion. But I'll stay away from your Out for a kill review, lol (Clement still with big smile on my face)

That's funny, because as I've mentioned here several times in the last few weeks, the more I've watched Out for a Kill, the more it's growing on me. Or my tolerance is getting better. Go figure.

Keep that smile, Clement!
As the old saying goes, "It makes people wonder what you've been up to."

It Was Definitely Out Of Reach, August 8, 2004
Reviewer: Arty Kicker "72 Year Old Thug" (MD United States) - See all my reviews

I was super excited to see Lord Steven's newest offering, 'Out Of Reach', especially when I saw that he had yet again teamed with a director from Hong Kong. After last year's fabulous 'Belly Of The Beast'(directed by Ching Siu Tung), I figured there was no way I could be disappointed. I was wrong. Lord Steven is just looking sick in this movie. He's bloated and his hair is extra nappy. The action is pretty weak and the script pathetic. But the worst part is that at least fifty percent of Lord Steven's dialog has been dubbed over by someone(I'm pretty sure its the main bad guy in the film)else's voice, who sounds nothing like Seagal. Its pathetic. The entire film is pure doo doo. Very disappointing.

Coming from a "Thug" means alot!

Thanks Res.Dog for the review. I am looking forward to seeing OOR now! (LOL just kidding ... no matter what anybody says, it won't discourage me from seeing the movie once September comes around)

 

[Clement3000]

Such Positive Reviews

Good attitude, don't let other people influence your opinion of a movie before you've seen it.

 

[yudansha]

I think that's the only way to go...

Why should I have others make decisions for me?

 

[Clement3000]

Why should I have others make decisions for me?

You shouldn't let anyone make decisions for you. I find that sometimes negative reviews will change my opinion of a movie. For example if someone mentions something specific that irratated them about a movie, I would probably find it irratating myself. But having not read about it, proabably wouldn't have noticied it myself. I'm going to do what Suzi did for OOR, I'm not reading any reviews of his upcoming movies before seeing them.

 

[yudansha]

I never read actual movie reviews before the movie either!

NEVER! ... if I catch a comment or two that are negative, my expectations change, but not my decisions of watching it...

 

[Littledragon]

I think Out Of Reach was an ok average movie. I liked the no wire fight scenes but I thought the movie just moved to fast and it lacked good actors as well as a good plot.

For a Seagal movie I'd say moving fast is a good thing. I think the only thing OOR lacked was more fight scenes. I just watched it again with my parents and didn't really mind the voice overs anymore and I only had to watch it 5-6 times.
