Movie Review: Disapointing Action Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
I really like Wesley Snipes and I really like action movies. This movie disappointed on both accounts. I had to wonder what Snipes was thinking in doing this film. I still think he is a great actor and could draw people into theaters, so why do a straight-to-video movie. Truthfully I didn't even read the cover before renting it because it was Wesley Snipes but even if I did I would have still rented it.
The movie starts out ok with a really ingenious armored car heist, which of course goes bad and turns into a pretty neat car chase. After that, the movie seems to fizzle out.
There is not much dialogue and I think the writers put more effort into the heist than the rest of the film. The acting is pretty bad all around, although I think Snipes did what he could with what he as given.
The directing is frazzled and just plain weird. I didn't like it much at all. I think the director was trying to add action to the film by his style of directing but to me it just made things worse.
Given the right attention, this movie could have been great but I get the feeling everyone just wanted to get it released as soon as they could. It has potential, but in my opinion, everyone involved in it just fell flat.
I had trouble getting through the whole thing. If you are a die hard Snipes fan then you might want to rent it, but I don't give any guarantees as to whether you will like it or not. It just might be worth renting simply to see the beginning because the heist is definitely one of the most intelligent and ingenious I have ever seen.
Don't expect much and marvel at the heist and you just might not feel like you've wasted your time watching it. Only buy it if you are an avid fan who must have a copy of every movie your favorite actor has made regardless of how good they are.
Movie Review: answering the '7 Seconds' question
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a Wesley Snipes fan, and not all that hard to please, but I must agree with previous reviewer - EAGAN, MN - that this is a lame movie and one I have no desire to ever see again. To answer the question about where the title came from, the timers on the phony explosive charges Snipe's gang uses on the first three armored cars, to get the more complicated robbery in motion, were set at 7 seconds. Just why this inconsequential fact deserves to be the title remains a mystery to me.Movie Review: Yup, Surreal Life for Wesley
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe he needed the dough? Whatever it is, this movie along with the other one he made (The Marksman) are pretty bad, 90 minute standard-action crap-ola.
7 Seconds was a little better, but whoa the stench rotted my entertainment center for days.
Sorry Wesley. For what it's worth; your not a bad actor. But your agent is selling you off to the lowest bidder.
Good luck..
Movie Review: NOT TO GOOD
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie was about as bad a movie as Snipes has ever made. Like the other review the beginning takes off nicely, but the flim begins to out think itself with lots of twists and turns. Im not sure what country it was shot in but there was not any dubbing of voices. I think Snipes just wanted a quick payday on this movie. renter only.Movie Review: I should've read the reviews before renting it
Summary: 2 Stars
7 Seconds is a formulaic capper that's not entertaining at all. The car chases are ok, but nothing to write home about. It's a regular Snipes movie, but lacking fun. It's long, illogical (which isnt bad if it's entertaining), and just plain boring.
