CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
MrBelette Oh God it's so bad it hurts. The lead "actor" is a wooden plank, the others are laughable except Michael Madsen who is probably still laughing about how easy he can get money. Or anything else they paid him with.The director obviously wanted to do a Bourne movie but failed to do anything resembling any kind of decent movie.Some said there is no end to the story, which is true, but I'm afraid it's worst than that. They planned to do a sequel ! Ridiculous scenes are in a plenty: a specially trained agent being beaten by two girls, the lead actress shooting with a gun in each hand although she can barely hold them, a shootout in the streets during a chase ... on bike ! (Yes, we're in Amsterdam.The action scenes are badly filmed and the fight scenes are badly choreographed. And the story is so unoriginal it's quickly boring since you already know what's going to happen next.I suppose the director can't do worst on his next movie but will he do better? 0/10
Tommy_B_Goode I am absolutely and seriously surprised that there are some positive reviews here !My vote was 1 out of 10, but that's only because there was no 0 to choose in the box !I have never... and I mean this from the bottom of my heart... NEVER seen a worse movie than this one.First of all it's ridiculous that almost everybody speaks English in this movie while it sets in Amsterdam. Please don't go to Amsterdam and think that people there all speak English !Secondly ; the acting, I have only 1 thing to say about that ; it is non-existent! there is no acting, its just people saying their lines ! apart from 2 exceptions that is. Allison Carroll and Michael Madsen are acting, it's just the rest that isn't !3rd ; the filming itself was not even poor anymore, just downright awful !4th ; the fight scenes, sometimes when the fight scenes are badly made you laugh at it. This however was SO bad I genually had to cry !Such a shame, the story was good it could have made for a good movie, but they somehow managed to screw it up in the worst way !I can't believe I actually spent money on this! There's 90 minutes of my life i'll never get back!
microslob No acting, no plot, no direction, no decent music and completely unrealistic hollow characters. This movie was so stupid and unrealistic a brain dead comatose patient could have come up with a better movie.How could anyone seriously give this a 10 star rating unless they were a paid shill for the movie.When I saw the trailer for this movie I thought great a T&A action flick with some women kicking butt. God was the trailer ever misleading. The 30 second trailer I watched pretty much played the better scenes. You could literally fall asleep to this terrible movie and wake up near the end and still think to yourself when will this finally end already!I will be honest I did try and watch the movie twice in case I misunderstood but I found myself fast forwarding the majority of the movie the second time and eventually got bored. Thank goodness I only paid $2 for this lousy movie from the Wal-Mart junk movie bin where they toss all the bad movies. At least the DVD makes a good over-priced coaster for my beer mug or pop cans.
john walker This film's got some great scenes and one liners and really kicked some ass. It reminded me of a kind of seventies vibe with some funny villains and a whole bunch of sleezy stuff like an old Shaft movie but with some cool action. Back to VHS land! They do a funny/cool shoot out on bikes...what?! some of the acting's a bit stiff but so was Jean Claude in his day? Right? Plus it's got some heavy MMA guys too. Love Madsen. Alison Carroll is great too as the 'stripper with guns' ha ha. as the dude in Gladiator says 'are you not entertained?' if you want a documentary watch HBO. if you want art go to a gallery. if you want 90 minutes whacked out in Amsterdam go for Amsterdam Heavy
