Movie Review: A 4 star Wesley Snipes movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Going against popular opinion but I thought this was a very good Wesley Snipes movie and for me his best since Blade II. It's better than Blade Trinity where Snipes was reduced almost to a side kick and a few steps up from the messy Unstoppable and dreadful The Marksman. If you liked Drop Zone, Money Train, Murder At 1600 then you should have no problem enjoying 7 Seconds. It's a good thriller with Snipes in top form with some good action sequences and 3 nice martial arts fight scenes by Snipes. I can't understand all the negitivity for this movie. Seagals latest movies get better ratings than this and most of the movies he makes these days are embarrassing!
Movie Review: You guys are way too hard on this movie...
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a standard Wesley Snipes movie... average acting (in most cases), good action sequences, a couple of car chases that were very cool but could've been done better (and more realistic) and in general was a decent watch. I wouldn't rate this as an allt-time favorite, or even one of Snipe's best movies -- and certainly it could've been better if they had more budget, but it was definitely worth the few bucks to watch.Movie Review: PRETTY GOOD
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked pretty much I like the euro feel to the film. Action was really good and martial art were good and the plot no big deal either.Some plot twist that's good,but the film needed more romance just a little but the (PSP) version is really decent.I like to see Wesley Snipes on the big screen sometime soon.Movie Review: Dont listen to most of these people see it for your self
Summary: 4 Stars
Why people panned this movie on here I have no idea its a great action movie fast paced good scenes and shot great Snipes is the manMovie Review: Wesley still has a kick or two left in him!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been a big fan of Wesley Snipes for the last fifteen years, since his film, Passenger 57. When I saw Wesley in that movie, using his martial arts skills for the first time, I thought to myself that this guy fights just like the late Bruce Lee. After that I followed every action movie that he did just so I could watch him do his martial arts. Of course, his "Blade" trilogy series is perhaps the most memorable of all the films that he's done. The role of Blade fits Wesley like a tight glove, plus it gives him the opportunity to really go all out with his martial arts. Since 2004 and Blade: Trinity, Wesley has opted to do films based in Europe. Why? I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the money that the IRS claims he owes in back taxes. Whatever the reason for this decision, it certainly has affected the quality of his films. In fact, they've pretty much gone down hill in a similar vein as those done by Steven Seagal. The only redeeming quality of Wesley's European movies is that he still does his own martial arts and can still kick ass in a big way.
In 7 Seconds, Wesley Snipes plays Jack Tolliver, who used to be with Delta Force. Due to a physical confrontation with his commander after a number of his men are killed, Tolliver ends up spending four years in prison. When he gets out, Tolliver decides to use his unique skills in the Romanian criminal underworld and plans a special heist down to the last second that will net he and his gang twenty million dollars. Everything goes perfectly, until the very end when his operation is betrayed from the inside so that the Russian gangsters can get their hands on an authentic Van Gogh painting, worth over sixty-five million dollars. Almost all of Tolliver's crew is murdered. Though his girlfriend is taken hostage, he manages to escape with a metal case that has the painting in it. Tolliver, however, doesn't know what's in the mysterious case. He inadvertently runs into Sergeant Kelly Anders (played by Tamzin Outhwaite), who's with the Military Police at the nearby NATO Air Force Base, while he's being chased by the police and the Russian mafia. He keeps her from being shot and then uses her car to elude the people that are after him. As the movie progresses, Tolliver will find himself alone and forced to turn to Anders for help, who now has her own problems to deal with. Together, they will take on the Russian mafia and try to rescue Tolliver's girlfriend.
I honestly didn't think that the movie made a lot of sense. I got confused at the beginning of the film when the heist of the casino money and the three armored trucks supposedly takes place. I wasn't following what was happening, and it looked like someone had screwed up with the planning and the intelligence on how the doors to the trucks were to be opened. Then, after Kelly Anders is basically kidnapped and her car wrecked, the Romanian police accuse her of being Tolliver's accomplice. Even her own people seem to have their doubts as to her innocence. That just didn't ring true to me. We also have the owner of the Van Gogh painting and the head of the Russian mafia (he has Parkinson's Disease and shakes all of the time) who seem to want the painting back for insurance purposes. When the Russians have Tolliver at their mercy and torture him and his girlfriend to find out where the painting is at, they forget to check his pockets for the key to the locker at the Bus Terminal, or is it the Plane Terminal, and then they allow him to take them to the locker. How stupid can you be? Cut off some fingers and some toes. He'll talk. Whatever you do, don't let him loose, or else he'll come back and kill you. The two car chases in the movie were so-so. It's difficult to make the cars appear as if they're going fast when they're small and running on four cylinders. The highlight of the movie is getting to watch Wesley Snipes do his martial arts. He's probably the best film fighter in the movies today. I'm always impressed with his hands and kicks, and the way he uses his knees and elbows to block and attack. That's really the only reason to watch an action thriller with Snipes in it, unless it's one of the "Blade" movies. Though 7 Seconds isn't the worse movie I've seen during the past year, it still could've been a lot better. The script could've been better, the acting, the stunts, the photography, and the directing. This is why the movie went straight to video here in the States. Come on, Wesley, we need another "Blade" movie before you get too old to do them!
