Advantages: Ooh look at the pretty lights! Disadvantages: The rest
"Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever" is a strange action movie. Strange because it is packed full of thrills, spills and one big explosion after another which is exactly the kind of thing which should keep any action movie fan on the edge of their seat for the entire running length and have them leave the theatre happy and yet...it's all so damn unsatisfying! I’m trying to think of something which doesn’t get shot at, blown up or nuked in this movie which ... ...fair (hell, even the two stars get blown up a few times!) so why then will it leave you feeling so deeply unsatisfied and quite possibly bored as I was? The answer is simple...Ecks Vs. Sever misses the point of what has made the numbskull action genre so popular over the years - it forgets that all this killing, nuking and general mayhem is meant to be, above all else...FUN!!!
Ecks Vs. Sever simply fails to inject any sense of fun into the mayhem ...

Advantages: It's action-packed and short Disadvantages: It's pants
Universally reviled action movie which might well have the stupidest plot in history (and not deliberately so, either). It's not quite as bad as you might infer but make no mistake, it's not good. What there is is plenty of action, plenty of explosions and some girls-with-guns action. I sniggered my way quite happily through it though that isn't enough to recommend it.
>>> Plot teaser
Jeremy, though he'd probably prefer you call him Agent Ecks ... ...ten minutes from the end), is coerced into tracking down a ruthless mega-kidanpper Asian babe. Because he is so brilliant he doesn't bother with detective work and instead waits for the next shootout in a mall. That'll be her but before he has a chance to put her down, he is told that she is the key to finding out what happened to his wife, killed some years earlier. Oh, did I forget that he was an agent-with-a-past?
>>> Principal cast and crew
