Don't get too excited about it
Alyssa's nudity here is the worst of all her skin flicks, so get this as your last resort if Poison Ivy 2 or Embrace... isn't available for some strange reason.
Storywise, it's your run-of-the-mill, ho-hum B-movie murder mystery which takes place at a Catholic school for girls (there's the real nudity!) and Alyssa ostensibly plays a nun in it, so how nude could she possibly be? ;)
David Keith is the detective on the case and yes he and Alyssa eventually get very friendly, but the bulk of the sex and nudity comes from one particular horny little schoolgirl and her repeated midnight rendezvous with a boyfriend.
There is a minor plot twist involving Alyssa, but it's pointless. It does, however, explain why she put out for David so easily even though she's supposed to be a nun.

good value, good movies
Four movies for ten bucks is a great deal. One of the movies --DEAD BY DAWN---is excellent and was recently on HBO. The others are all pretty decent. If you like mysteries or thrillers with some eroticism and nudity, this is definitely a good purchase.

Good value, good movies
Four movies for ten bucks is a great deal. At least one of the movies is very good and was recently on HBO. If you like sexy thrillers, this is definitely worth your while.

cheap and nasty
Four movies at this price is great,some violence,some nudity and some bad langauge.Buying this 2 disc set is cheaper than renting!Average quality copying with little digital clean-up required or done.

Alyssa Milano is so hot.
This movie was really good and Alyssa Milano is my faviorte actress. I have all of her movies And if you she gets naked in it I have to have it. ...The movie rocks. ... Read more

Born to Run review
If you're a race fan this is the movie to have. Forget about those hi-strung imports, this one is All American muscle. I have watched it over and over, it never gets old. My blood pumps a little faster every time I see it.

racing galore
filled with cool racing scenes and Grieco's wanna be James Dean attitude. though I think Grieco ripped off Dean's red jacket. some scenes are lame as hell. the lead actress is hot(fogot her name) but she is hot hot hot. Born To Run is for the dragracing fans and fans of the cars and the ladies, yeah. fun for a while. the ending is good to.

If you like car racing : yes; otherwise: no
This is a very polished high gloss movie with Richard Grieco as a racer kid. The storyline to me was quite boring. Maybe you like it more if you are into car racing. Grieco still has one of his better appearances in this one.

A very good movie for people who like hotrods?
This movie was action pack and keep me on edge of my seat! I wish they would make a sequel to it? So people would know if they built another beautiful car? This movie was excellent a must see movie?

wog the mennie
i love this movie..i thought it was a great popcorn flick. we pick up some hotdogs form the vendor and raced right home to watch this movie. i think there are too many referneces to satan and the power of politications in this moive. ... Read more

Forgettable
Some movies require detailed reviews, examining topics like direction, plot and characterization. This is not one of them. The purpose of this movie is to show things exploding; everything else is merely a justification to get from one explosion to another. On this level it succeeds, although it is not enough to sustain interest. It is like watching someone else play a video game; it may be worth watching briefly, but after a few moments, you want a little more involvement (this awkwardly-titled movie may very well be a extended video game commercial). At least the movie doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is, so it gets two stars, but it is not recommended watching.

Awesome Martial Arts Action
This movie has it all to make it a classic among the best martial arts action films of all time. For those who whine about the plot, I guess they think Chuck Norris films are great dramas--- LMAO! Lucy Lui is impeccable in this film. The photography and action sequences are superb. The plot is okay, in my opinion. I've seen a lot of martial arts film from old to new, and none of them are plot greats. But that's the not point. Lucy is in top form in this movie and the brilliance of her abilities really shine forth. Many of the action scenes are surprising and don't turn out how you would expect. This movie has excitement, solid martial arts footage, suspense, drama, and gee... it even has a decent story. For those who whine about the plot, it really sounds like they don't appreciate a movie where the heroine is a competent female who outsmarts and outmanuvers the men. I chalk their opinions up to sour grapes and recommend this movie to anyone who wants to spend an hour and half being throughly entertained.

Suspend disbelief first
This movie is about family values. It's about Ecks (Bandeiras) defending the family he doesn't know he has, and about Sever (Liu) defending the family she doesn't have.

Get it? No? Me neither.

Oh, and there's a deadly nano-thingie making the rounds. That has something to do with the plot, too. Uh, let's just skip the plot.

This is actually an enjoyable guns'n'fights movie. Liu does the super-spy-babe thing very well, and with less facial expression than Keanu Reeves. Come to think of it, the bad guy doesn't have much in the way of facial expressions either, mostly a big evil grin seemingly held in place with botox and superglue. Lots of things blow up, and blow up in the bad guys' faces. That part was a bit puzzling, though: after the explosions, everyone just gets up and plays again.

If you want lots of gunfire and running around, it's a pretty good movie. Still, I was glad that I had a book in hand while watching it.

People actually gave BALLISTIC 0 stars?!
That was my first reaction even before I saw ECKS VS SVER, but I had read reviews of it, and I was appalled. No movie with Lucy Liu in it could ever warrant a ZERO STAR RATING FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

I will agree that the film's plot exists only to perpetutate the action, which consists of motorcycle chases, blazin' gun wars, and several great martial arts battles, which include the opening sequence, in which the Chinese "good" assasin Sever (Lucy Liu) "kidnaps" her ex-employer's son, a sequence during which Sever beats the bejesus out of Agent Jeremiah Ecks (Antonio Banderas), whose searching for information on his "deceased" wife, and the final fight, in which Sever takes on Ross, whose after a new "invention" she has hidden, and who is played by none other than the great Ray Park!

Notice how many quotation marks I used there? That could explain some of the film's unpopulartiy. By the halfway point, BALLISTIC:ECKS VS SEVER has had so many plot twists, it makes THE SIXTH SENSE's one big big plot twist look silly (well, okay, let's not go nuts here, but you get the idea.)

I am not an especially big fan of Antonio Banderas, but he comes across as a good male lead. It was really Lucy Liu that drew me to this film. Trust me, she is the only one of CHARLIE'S ANGELS who is a REAL martial artist, and she gets her chance to prove it this time around, with none of the over-the-top, pushing-the-envelope type of wire-fu (I'm looking at you, FULL THROTTLE)

Basically, BALLISTIC:ECKS VS SEVER is not half as bad as it is made out to be. Anyone looking for some good action should check it out, and you'll love to see Lucy Liu throwin' some real nice high kicks and just looking like a beautiful ANGEL. (If your'e still not impressed with Lucy, be sure to check out KILL BILL VOL. 1, when she gets to be the villianess.)

Not the worst movie I've ever seen.
"Not the worst movie I've ever seen" is about the best I can say about this, and I'm a big fan of Banderas and Liu. I often wonder why they're not bigger stars (especially Banderas) and I start to formulate a reason when I see a movie like Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. Either they're picking the worst scripts that are offered to them, or, sadder, these are the best roles they're getting and it's the industry that doesn't know what to do with these two. How you can take two such charismatic people, both with excellent physical and comedic timing, and plop them into these lifeless roles is beyond me.

The "plot" is right out of a late night action flick you'd see on cable TV back in the 80s. There's some vague reference to super technology, but it's all mired in heaps of pitiful plot twists. People are mistaken for dead, their children are taken away from them, identities are changed... A story this implausible should at least be FUN so that the viewer can overlook the faults. Another Liu movie, the first Charlie's Angels, at least understands this.

Liu does have some good moves as Sever, though, and Banderas mumbles his way through depression well enough. There are also some decent musical choices. Not great, maybe not even good, but like I said... decent. It's enough to keep me from giving it a single star. ... Read more

Entertaining sci-fi action flick
As Arnold movies go, this one has a relatively good story. It is somewhat reminiscent of "Total Recall" with its futuristic sci-fi bent and guess-the-identity plot, but it is better because it broaches some interesting ethical considerations regarding human cloning. Of course, this IS an Arnold movie so it doesn't bother to weigh itself down with profundities, but it adds a little intellectual meat to his stock in trade, and that is a plus. The script is a bit predictable with numerous tip-offs as to which is the real Adam Gibson and which is the clone. However, there are enough interesting subplots to keep the viewer engaged.

Director Roger Spottiswoode ("Air America", "Tomorrow Never Dies") strikes a good balance between drama and action and paces the film well. Arnold fans might find the action sequences a bit tame by comparison to some of his other films, but there is plenty to keep the average action junkie happy.

The cast is generally solid. Arnold is the same old Arnold, flexing his biceps and constantly flashing his well-spaced front teeth charmingly between action sequences. His acting in this film is better than usual, giving his character both strength and vulnerability with a hint of tongue in cheek humor thrown in. Michael Rapaport provides most of the comic relief in his bits with the virtual girlfriend. Tony Goldwyn is hatefully nefarious as the manipulative magnate who runs a rogue cloning factory. Robert Duvall is excellent, as always, as the scientist with a conscience.

Overall, this is an entertaining film with an interesting premise. I rated it a 7/10. The area of cloning is fertile ground on which to build a more serious story, but it serves as a good backdrop for this basic good v. evil action film.

Arnolds back!
In the not so distant future pilot Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has been illegally cloned by the Replacement Technologies corporation owned by Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn). Shortly after they realize that they have cloned the wrong man and sent assasins to kill Adam and destroy the evidence. Soon he is caught up in a race to save not only himself but his family.

I am sorry to say that I was one of the many who missed this film in theaters. I bought it as soon as it came out on DVD and was not disapointed. As with all Arnie movies the action scenes and special effects are excellent. Also all of the sets were awesome, had plenty of eye candy and cool gadgets. However it was two of the co-stars Robert Duvall and Tony Goldwyn whose performances stole the show.

The DVD transfer is excellent and the picture and sound are top notch. There is an average amount of options like trailers (Final Fantasy, Hollow Man, Gattaca and The 6th Day), Talent Files and a RePet infomercial. But the DVD does not contain the 10 minute making of featurette listed above. All in all this movie a solid purchase for any sci-fi, action or Arnie collection.

"Total Recall" meets "I Robots" meet family friendly viewing
Contrary to a lot of people's beliefs, this movie is not a rip on Total Recall, just merely along the same lines of internal conflict. People who have recently seen the outstanding "I Robot" will no doubt see where some of the inspiration came. Just as Will Smith is wary of the robots, Schwarzneggar's Adam character is wary of a pet-cloning company called RePet. The plot goes that the president of the most powerful cloning company is assasinated by anti-cloning radicals in a helicopter with Adam's friend, who was identified to be Adam. Because of this, the President and Adam are both cloned and Adam comes home to find his clone celebrating his own birthday through the window. Arnie then goes on a hunt to track down the cloning operation and get to the bottom of the huge mess that has been thrust into his life.

Like "I Robot", the movie has a great amount of twists and turns, and like "Total Recall", Arnold wonders who he is (6th day- Am I a clone? Total Recall - is this real, or just part of the Recall program?) The movie is also fairly family friendly (save for a few violent but bloodless/suggestive scenes) and is PG-13, an absolute rarity for an Arnold action movie, especially considering the graphic and gratuitous violence of "Total Recall". Arnold also plays an average joe, not a killing maching like in "Commando", which is refreshing. Having said all that, this is a great rental movie for average viewers, and if you liked "I Robot" or "Total Recall" (or love Ah-nuld, hey, who doesn't? :-) then this is well worth the price of admission.

2 Arnies?? Its like a 2 for 1 deal!!
I thought this movie was stupid when it first camem out. Who wouldn't, its about Arnie getting cloned. But after seeing it, I realised I was wrong. This movie is cool. Its about arnie being hunted down by assasins becuz he found out they clone people. The assasins must kill him so no one else will find out.
This is cool for all sci-fi/action fans. Its not arnies best but it is still good.

Very Underrated!
I really enjoyed this movie after I watched it again. I remember seeing it a long time ago and hating it. I don't see what makes people hate this movie so much.

The characters are nice. Arnold is really cool and is a great guy. You will probably like the cast. The badguy does a good job. He is evil. Arnold is pretty cool. The action does a fair job of being fast-paced. I enjoyed it. Enjoyable. Thats how I would describe this movie. Very Enjoyable. ... Read more

This is actually on the par of those made for Cinemax or Showtime movies, actually better. There's a degree of comedic interplay between Dudikoff and Howard that's entertaining enough to raise the basic material.

Movies this bad are sometimes funny -- not in this case.
From the opening credits, where LAPD police cars race down huge empty straightaway streets I was wondering where they found huge empty streets in LA in broad daylight. But still, I had high hopes; Dennis Hopper & Michael Madsen -- it's got to be worth watching, there's going to be some seething, twisted intensity somewhere.

Well, there wasn't...There was, however: cut-and-paste characters, all of them one-dimensional, all of them saying things that seem right out of other movies; a multitude of short, pointless scenes that don't add to the plot; some strange pre-adolescent ideas of how relationships work; and a 'surprise' ending that isn't.

This is a very amateurishly written and put-together little mishmash.

The story is: Good guy cop ("Steele" --just the name gives you some idea of how much thought went into this) in a new, tough division discovers all his new workmates are corrupt. Does he report them to internal affairs? Does he take the money and become one of the gang? Or does he think about it for just long enough to fill out a movie?

(choose #3...which includes a large number of hasty, moronic talks with his dad, Charles Durning, a retired cop who really shouldn't wear trousers with pleats).

Dennis Hopper as Captain of the division puts on a worried/angry expression and leaves it there. Michael Madsen who plays leader of the baddies is so relaxed--no matter what the scene may call for--that he seems to be relieved that he's paying off his credit card bill, or whatever bizarre reason he had to appear in a terrible film like this.

I think the filmmakers were trying for something like "The Choirboys" that had a good amount of comedy and camaraderie to lighten its drama and violence. Here, though, there's no comedy, the camaraderie is false, the drama is silly, the violence is gratuitous, the characters are laughably simplistically drawn, the plot is old and overused--and with nothing new brought to it.

Low budget shlock
You would expect an action movie with good stars like Hopper and Madsen to have something going for it...NOPE! This video is a serious letdown. The plot is amatuerish and hackneyed, the dialogue is pathetic, and the story on the whole is dissapointing and BORING!!DON'T waste your money on this piece of low budget trash like I did. Shame on Madsen and Hopper!! ... Read more
