Attack Farce
Hi all
Sorry if you've all covered this movie before, but jeeeez!
I watched it for the first time last night and thought "What a mess!" I mean I'm as die-hard a fan as the rest of you, but I watched about half of it on fast forward.
What was with his voice? I mean I've seen past efforts where the dubbing has appeared in a couple of places, but to be dubbed straight from the off for the first two or three minutes!
Again it was another dark, European, all set at night, over-complicated, muddled plot! These days the films seem to land you straight in the middle of the story without any build up of story or characters.
The fighting was so-so and the close-up shots of Seagal fighting the 'Boss' looked like he was trying to swat away a rather angry mosquito.
Please Mr. Halpin, look to the fans and get him back to US soil and a more back to basics formula. Lose the firearms and lose the weight and do what you do best - Aikido.
Look at 'Casino Royale', they stripped that back to basics and look at the result that had. Not only did it satisfy the doubting legion of Bond fans but won a whole new set of Bond fans in the process.
I'm sorry that this is a little negative, but we deserve more, HE deserves more. We know what he's capable of and what we want, I mean at the time 'Fire Down Below' lokked like a bit of sub-standard Segal movie, but compared to this new lot, it looks like 'Ben Hur'!
Keep the faith fans
Have a good weekend all
Take care
