Review Time
Warning: there is colourful effects/flashing
effects/choking/stabbing in the neck/shoot in the head/man on fire.
Storyline: it is
something safe and reliable; but we never find out what happens to this
character/performer [Secret Service Agent Hallmark/Harewood] and on top of that
we never find out who won the Stanley Cup and the pacing is dull throughout
this project.
Action/Comedy/Art: we have some scenes/sequences where the action and comedy go
hand-in-hand for one example; Darren McCord/Van Damme is doing combat with this
hench-person in a mascot costume [Iceburgh; the Pittsburgh Penguins mascot]
Action;
individually there are weapons being used, combat, helicopters, and McCord/Van
Damme climbing up on the outside of this stadium [the Pittsburgh Civic Arena,]
and other things of this nature and obviously this hockey match between
Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Chicago Blackhawks in the final match series for the
Stanley Cup.
Comedy;
individually there are these very tiny elements for an example very roughly;
Tyler McCord/Malinger dropping his father Darren McCord/Van Damme right in it;
in front of this hockey player using something to this effect of this formula
"My dad says you're too old to play hockey."
Art; we get
to see the Fort Duquesne Bridge [now I have done a little bit of research on
this, but just to cover my back apologies if this is the wrong bridge, I was
just trying to match a similar background to the picture and this film, I even
got someone to look, she confirmed it as well and yes I'm aware that things
most probably have changed since the filming of this film] and the Pittsburgh
Civic Arena [from overview/other perspectives; evening without lights on and at
night with lights on; this is all good.
Characters/Performances: including the on-screen chemistry this can all be described as
generic and as flat as a pancake.
Bloopers: Secret
Service Agent Hallmark/Harewood gets set on fire by Darren McCord/Van Damme,
but doesn't get killed or isn't significantly hurt in any major way whatsoever,
in fact somehow his clothing survives; how is this all possible?
This film receives: 4/10; this film is mixed; I mean this project is solid, it doesn't do
anything majorly wrong; but it is just dull from beginning to end though.
