suissenavy Review of Ballistica

Ballistica (2009)

Some silly moments, but quite good action and story.

[3 July 2010]

Just got done watching this and I have to say that I did enjoy it. The only real thing that bothered me was the hand gun hand combat. It was well filmed but utterly impossible. Trust me, dodging one bullet would be hard to believe, try about 25, at close range and your truly in the land of fantasy. The story unfolds very well, and a great twist at the end is well timed and from out of nowhere. This film is most certainly a Federal funded one, all the talk about the good C.I.A. and bad terrorists and a reference to 9\11 truly got a giggle from me. The last fight is a good one, and I was wondering what was gonna happen, the last move is absolutely against several laws, physics and gravity to name a few, good taste may also fit in the list. There are some familiar faces throughout like that bad guy from Karate Kid, you know the teacher at the dojo. You should enjoy this film if you like action spy films. You can also say that acting in this film is like Ben Kinsley in Gandhi, but then you would be completely wrong and probably insane.
