Ultimate Video Review Thread
Having suffered through inumerable bad rental videos, I feel compelled to start this thread. Hopefully people will contribute new vid reviews, be they positive or negative. I'll kick it off with a video that surely has to be the worst of the year-
The Transporter 2. Bad. Really, really bad. Yes-my expectations were low, but we had watched everything else that had been currently released and we were looking for brainless action pablum. Unfortunately it exceeded or worst fears. Of course the acting was non-existant and the plot thread bare, but even the action sequences were cheap. You never saw a full stunt. They were either computer generated-badly, or choppy sequences of failed stunts that were edited together to resemble a continueous shot. Let's forget about plausibility at all. Cars crashing through concrete barriers in one scene and then showing up in the next scene looking like they just left the detail shop. Perhaps the worst offense was to make what would otherwise be good eye candy, a hitwoman in Fredricks of Hollywood garb, look very unsexy throughout the entire movie.
Overall-it's a long, boring Audi commercial. Instead watch any of The Hire series. Better, shorter films with cooler cars.
