| TIMEBOMB REVIEW |
 |
| TIMEBOMB COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE THAN IT WAS. ONE OF THE REASONS THIS FILM FALLS IS THE AMOUNT OF SEX IN THE FILM, THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH. THE SHOOTOUT IN THE CINEMA COULD HAVE BEEN BACKED WITH CREDITS ON AN ENDING MOVIE, IM SURE MUSIC WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE IN THE BACKGROUND THAN A PORN STAR. IT LOOKS LIKE A TACKY WAY TO SAVE MONEY, ALTHOUGH IT IS CLEAR WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF THE FILM WITH THE EXPLOSION THAT THE FILM HAS A BUDGET! PATSY KENSIT IS NOTHING SPECIAL IN THE FILM, HER ACTING IS POOR AT TIMES AND THE CHARACTER WEAK. MICHAEL'S CHARACTER IS BELIEVABLE, AND HE DOES A GOOD JOB CONSIDERING SOME OF THE APPAULING DIALOGUE HE HAS. THE DIRECTION IS NOT BAD, AND THE PULSING MUSIC IS GOOD, THE IDEA IS GOOD, IT IS JUST THE "NEED" TO PUT SEX INTO THE FILM THAT MAKES IT PLUMMET AND IT IS BADLY WRITTEN IN PARTS. TIMEBOMB COULD HAVE BEEN MORE, AND DOES NOT STAND OUT AS ANYTHING SPECIAL, COULD HAVE DONE BETTER IF IT WERE MADE IN THE 80's. 4/10 |
