Between explosions there is enough room left for only minimal character development.
Top CriticDirector Wych Kaosayananda -- or Kaos, to you -- is stupendously inept, unable even to properly light a combat sequence.
Before seeing this film I couldn't understand why the producers had given it a subtitle; afterward I realized Ecks vs. Sever was probably the full script.
Ballistic is a generic blur of metallic blue and fireball orange set to the contrapuntal sounds of throbbing techno and eardrum-puncturing noise.
One of the worst movies of the year.
Enough to make a critic go ballistic.
This explosion movie is a complete bomb.
Liu and Banderas are wasted in a film that felt like a cheesy low budget action flick, leaving a sour taste with plot holes galore, clichés, senseless violence, and an incoherent script to top it all off.
Banderas mopes through this hideous and unintelligible enterprise like a bloodhound with a hangover, while Liu elects to look cool in leather in lieu of a performance.
For all the sundered families, bereaved mothers and mourning spouses, there's not a shred of genuine feeling in the entire film.
Sadistic: Gratuitous Vs. Arbitrary.
Como descrever um filme que se preocupa apenas com suas explosões, e não com o roteiro, com a direção, a edição ou as atuações? Já sei: é uma bomba!
A career low for both Liu and Banderas.
The backyard battles you staged with your green plastic army men were more exciting and almost certainly made more sense.
Wanton gunfire and witless good guys saturate this sadly scripted waste of hard-earned movie money.
One of the worst films of 2002.
Antonio Banderas, Lucy Liu, have you no pride? Have you no standards? Have you no shame? Don't you pay attention to what's written on the papers you're signing?
Kaosayananda's approach to this thunderous and over-indulgent stylish stinker is quite simplistic: load up on excessive explosions that's meant to give a personality to a straining and exceedingly moronic martial arts motion picture.
