Genre: Action/Adventure
Synopsis: In the mystifying opening sequence of BALLISTIC: ECKS VS. SEVER, a double kidnapping takes place on a rainy night in Vancouver with a minimal amount of wasted time and a maximum amount of violence.... [More]

A career low for both Liu and Banderas. Full Review |

|
1.5/4 |
Liu and Banderas are wasted in a film that felt like a cheesy low budget action flick, leaving a sour taste with plot holes galore, clichés, senseless violence, and an incoherent script to top it all off. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

For all the sundered families, bereaved mothers and mourning spouses, there's not a shred of genuine feeling in the entire film. Full Review |

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

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

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. Full Review |

1/5 |
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!

The backyard battles you staged with your green plastic army men were more exciting and almost certainly made more sense. Full Review |

Wanton gunfire and witless good guys saturate this sadly scripted waste of hard-earned movie money. Full Review |

One of the worst films of 2002. Full Review |

1/5 |
Antonio Banderas, Lucy Liu, have you no pride? Have you no standards? Have you no shame? Don't you pay attention to what's written on the papers you're signing? Full Review |

|
1.5/4 |
Kaosayananda’s approach to this thunderous and over-indulgent stylish stinker is quite simplistic: load up on excessive explosions that’s meant to give a personality to a straining and exceedingly moronic martial arts motion picture. Full Review |

|
3.5/10 |
Lucy Liu has the silent, exotic, Asian assassin thing down cold in a lackluster action movie with aimless fighting, wimpy villains, and a lame techno soundtrack. Full Review |

|
3/10 |
You'll have to be a cryptologist to figure out who's working for whom, and you'll have to boast the patience of Job to care. Full Review |

|
0.5/5 |
A film which proves 'more' means most certainly 'less' and like a video game its definitely not worth spending more than a few cents on. Full Review |

Du grand grand vide que le nombre d'explosions n'arrive pas à camoufler. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Ballistic is a generic blur of metallic blue and fireball orange set to the contrapuntal sounds of throbbing techno and eardrum-puncturing noise. Full Review |
