Snipes worst film period, 26 December 2008
3/10
Author: scorpion-52 from United States

How come people give this lousy film so many good reviews but superior Snipes films like Art Of War II and The Marksman get so many negative reviews? This has got to be one of the most boring thrillers i've ever had the displeasure of sitting through, there's long stretches of boredom without anything interesting happening. Plus to make things worse the terrible serial killer subplot is shoehorned in and takes away the focus from the main story with Snipes character. These have to be the most pathetic and least intimidating serial killers ever, they just look so ordinary, but maybe that was the point? Well I like serial killers to be threatening and they failed miserably at that here, and they're torture methods aren't so much disturbing as confusing, exactly what the hell did those helmet things do to people? Didn't look so bad to me. Snipes along with his female companion at least look they're trying to make the best out of lousy film but the awful performances from everyone else make it a lost cause, even the half-way decent finale dosen't make the film worth watching. It's surprising how bad this film is, considering it was directed by Mario Van Peebles, who's proved to be a talented director, I certainly hope his next film has more thought and effort put into it then this crap fest.
