I guess not every bad movie has a cult following in its future. Some of them are just kinda bad.

If you must see Ecks vs. Sever, just go bang your head against the wall for an hour and a half. It would be the same effect.

I'm having a hard time believing the words as I type them but ... it's not that bad.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 29, 2019

An endless barrage of bullets and bazookas

| Original Score: D | Oct 9, 2015

For many viewers, the big question may be not whether Ecks and Sever will get together, or why they are fighting in the first place, but why am I sitting here, anyway?

Kaos is so in love with pyrotechnics -- and so arrogant in his assumptions about his audience -- that in the first few minutes, he presents one critical car explosion without explanation, then has his characters discuss another one.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 15, 2014

An action film starring Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu, Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever looks like a video-game promo, has a story that plays like the fifth episode of a struggling syndicated action show, and feels like a headache waiting to happen.

The subplots are so complicated, it's difficult to keep up, let alone care.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 15, 2014

It's like watching a movie version of Mad magazine's Spy vs. Spy, but minus the humor.

Wrong Turn co-writer Alan B McElroy must have been having a seriously bad day when he penned this abysmal sci-fi conspiracy tale.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 15, 2014

This explosion movie is a complete bomb.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2010

Plot holes galore, clichés, senseless violence, and an incoherent script to top it all off.

| Apr 29, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 5, 2007

Between explosions there is enough room left for only minimal character development.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 5, 2007

Director Wych Kaosayananda -- or Kaos, to you -- is stupendously inept, unable even to properly light a combat sequence.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jan 5, 2007

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.

Sadistic: Gratuitous Vs. Arbitrary.

| Feb 1, 2004

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!
