Movie Review: PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS - GREAT
Summary: 4 Stars
Dean Cage has so many problems -
He is trying to deal with the emotional trauma of causing his friends death.
He is mistakenly identified as a CIA agent at a set-up so the twit injects him with a revelutionary hallucinatory drug that ends up killing its victim.
Cage then explodes into action as he puts the make on the would-be kidnappers and goes on the run.
Hey, I still like that truck, especially those lights. Even I was hanging on for dear life.
It took his friend, Scott's sister, a while to piece together the clues to Dean's new problem. The fading in and out of his vision was a bit distracting but made for the realism of what he was seeing.
Oh yeah, his memories were helping to block the suggestions being made to him. And confusing his tormentors.
Finally, an actress I could really like in her role, she was not overpowering, but feminine and persistent in pursueing Dean to help bring him in safely and determined to save his life.
Where is that dang antidote?
I greatly enjoyed all the actors' in their roles and will be watching it again to see what I missed the first time around.
Will recommend but it is still just a matter of taste. I enjoyed it.
Movie Review: A smart script poorly developed!-
Summary: 4 Stars
Wesley Snipes is a 3 Charley a sort of special super agent, trained by the Pentagon for overseas risky missions. He has played hard in Panama and Irak, but when an unexpected, sorrowful and horrid incident happened at Bosnia, his memory preserves every single detail about the criminal murder of his best friend Wilson, who was going to be his future brother in law.
So when he returns to work with his fiancée, we will be aware Wilson was implied into a web of international profile with a lethal weapon to be used, a powerful chemical device, a powerfully and deadly hallucinogen who distorts and eventually fries your brain in just six hours. Snipes will be mistakenly traced by this gang who is absolutely convinced he knows about this dangerous device.
Recommended for a rainy weekend.
Movie Review: SLOW BY MODERN STANDARDS
Summary: 4 Stars
Wesley Snipes is an ex-special forces operations and is having a hard time adjusting to his civilian life. He is in love with the girlfriend of a man he had ordered to die. While waiting for her at the Chesapeake restaurant, he is mistaken for someone else who is supposed to be waiting there. He is injected with a powerful hallucinogenic drug which works off the power of suggestion. Snipes believes he is back in a Bosnia prison as the bad guys attempt to extract information from him, which he doesn't have. Meanwhile the CIA show up disguised as FBI. The movie takes place in Baltimore (at night) so we don't get to see much of the city. No sex. No nudity. No super special effects. It does show the mind play and hallucinations going on in Snipes head fairly well.Movie Review: Unstoppable

Great movie. Colud leave out the bad language and some of the violence. Overall it had a fgood plot and excitement.Movie Review: When cinematic techniques get in the way - or kindly cover..
Summary: 3 Stars
UNSTOPPABLE is a disappointing exercise of how trying to cover a routine story with a lot of camera and time-lapse gimmicks simply cannot save a poor script. Though represented as a low budget film, the special effects crew seems to have blown the budget on the usual incendiary, explosive, blowing-up-fuel-truck-on bridge, burning clothing gimmicks that are by now tired at best.
Wesley Snipes tries to save this tale of a war veteran at odds with his conscience over duties performed while on duty who accidentally becomes involved in a caper involving bad guys and injectable drugs so evil that they threaten to be give the owner of the drug complete control over everyone's mind. Mistaken identity, good guy with guilt becoming a transient bad guy under drug influence under chase by the drug lords, CIA, FBI, and police (who just happen to be on Snipes' side for reasons less dramatic) - all of these are thrown into the blender and out comes soup.
The supporting cast has some familiar faces - Jacquelyn Obradores (NYPD Blues), Vincent Riotta ('Under the Tuscan Sun', 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin'), Adewale Akinnuoye-Abaje (remember Adebisi in 'OZ'?) and given the pedestrian script, these and others give good performances. The problems (and there are many) include out-of-focus camera work to make us 'feel' the effect of the drug injected into Snipes' character and the imagined vs real footage that intermingles at a maddening rate to clutter the progress of the action.
A film for those who love Wesley Snipes and for those who can buy into yet another mindless action flick. Grady Harp
