If you have a hearty appetite for fiery explosions, heavy ordnance, and nonsensical mayhem, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is just for you. This mindless action flick is so wrong-headed that even its ungainly title is inaccurate: as expert assassins on the fringes of government intelligence, FBI agent Ecks (Antonio Banderas) and Defense Intelligence agent Sever (Lucy Liu) aren't battling each other at all. Instead, he's trying to find his missing ex-wife (the stunning but expressionless Talisa Soto) and young son, while she's pursuing an agency turncoat (Gregg Henry) who's stolen the ultimate micro-technology for clandestine killing. United against a common enemy, Ecks and Sever lay waste to half of Vancouver (the film's budget-conscious location), and it all makes as much sense as meatballs on a vegetarian menu. Banderas and Liu look fabulous as corpses pile up around them, but Thai action director Kaos (a.k.a. Wych Kaosayananda) must have confused his nickname with the incomprehensible plot of his movie. --Jeff Shannon

Ok...I saw this movie for the first time almost 5 years ago, and due to the fact that I like action in a movie it was enjoyable. In my opinion its pointless to say so many horrible things about a movie when you could have read the reviews and plotline prior to watching and/or purchasing the movie. I would suggest this movie only if you like action movies or if you are a fan of lucy lui (she kicked butt in this one). Don't fully take my word for it past your own judgement. Try renting it before buying it.

I watched this movie back when it first came out and used to have a framed poster of it hanging in my old apartment. I recently re-watched the movie on cable and enjoyed it again! I think I know why this movie got so many bad reviews and it has nothing to do with too simple of a story line. Really? That's the complaint? An action movie with a simplified story line...surely there have never been any of those before! No, I think many people didn't like this because of the casting. You have a male Latin lead with an Asian female lead, and "the white guys" are the bad guys. That's why people didn't like this movie. There were some great action scenes in this film, a great soundtrack, charismatic actors and a story line that didn't get in the way of the action. This was a great film, and they should cast more in a similar manner.

You have the good guys turning to the bad guys...
A kidnapping by a mysterious female martial arts expert
turns into a lost and found story,
where the bad guy gets stuck with his own knife.
The dialog is minimal; a lot of chase scenes, explosions
and fight scenes. The only thing it misses is slice and
dice with swords? Lucy Liu's moves seem stiff and stylized;
a real martial arts expert would make short work of her?
Antonio Banderas is pulling a romantic lead in a minimalist fashion.
The best actor in the movie may be the kid who is Ecks' son.

This is outstandingly bad! I've given it two stars for a couple of decent action sequences, but largely it's poor beyond belief. Avoid.
