I'm the guy who talked to Betty White about vodka and hot dogs.
When an action movie really works, there's nothing quite like it. On the occasion a gifted filmmaker presents us with characters we care about on top of high-octane, technically adroit filmmaking and stunt work, it's armrest-gripping, heart-pounding stuff in the extreme. There are such superb examples of the filmmaking craft: Mad Max: Fury Road, Aliens, Speed, and so many others come to mind as among the finest action films ever made.
It's disheartening, but true: the director of many a genre masterclass helmed this chaotic, anemic wannabe blend of sports film, sci-fi, and action. Rollerball is based on a superior, still flawed 1970s film about a dangerous sport in a future where corporations run everything. The original at least had some ideas, though they were half-baked. The remake is a vapid nuisance.
Battlefield Earth's reputation precedes it, but even then, anyone is bound to be surprised that the experience of watching it is even worse than its infamy would have one believe. Visually ugly, narratively boring, and with some of the most un-engaging action ever put on celluloid, this is a strong contender for the title of worst film of the 21st century thus far.
9 'Simon Sez' Rotten Tomatoes Score: 0% Despite the critical and box-office failure of his Razzie-winning 1997 action picture Double Team alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme and Mickey Rourke, Dennis Rodman returned to the big screen as a would-be action hero in another stinker, about an Interpol agent who must defeat an arms dealer and rescue a kidnap victim in the French Riviera.
Release Date December 11, 2015 Director Frank Coraci Cast Adam Sandler , Terry Crews , Jorge Garcia , Taylor Lautner , Rob Schneider , Luke Wilson Runtime 1h 59m 7 'Precious Cargo' Rotten Tomatoes Score: 0% It's important to mention that Bruce Willis' status as an action icon, and one of the most beloved movie stars of a generation, is written in stone. No movie is bad enough to change that, not even the awful, direct-to-video Precious Cargo.
5 'Highlander II: The Quickening' Rotten Tomatoes Score: 0% Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert, Virginia Madsen and Michael Ironside are all wasted in an incomprehensible follow-up to the successful swordplay-heavy adult fantasy Highlander. Pretty much nothing in the sequel measures up to making any kind of sense.
