| Ticker (2001) Cast:Tom Sizemore,Steven Seagal,Dennis Hopper,NAS,Jamie Pressly While not as bad as Seagal's earlier embarrassment The Patriot, Ticker is still a sub-par actioner that fails to gain momentum in the actionscenes making it a bore. Actually Ticker starts of mildly diverting as Sizemore and Seagal play SWAT cops trying to stop a mad bomber (Played by Hopper) The story starts off with an okay action sequence and then hits a speed bump when Sizemore and Seagal discuss zen like philosophy about bombs. Watching Steven Seagal talk about the bombs, oh sorry, devices is like having your brain squished in a blender. It's just truly terrible to behold. Pyun typically packs his movies with (Often times too much) action but here he shoots the film as if he was making a Hitchcockian thriller although without any suspense milked the film just becomes extremely boring with little merit. Indeed the point of watching a Seagal film is the action sequences but these too are lifeless and the movie will no doubt disappoint Seagal fans. D.Albert Pyun *1/2 |
