Crash Point Zero

Stop me if you've heard this....we have a machine capable of mass destruction. The trigger for this machine is simply to put on a set of headphones and "think mass destruction thoughts". The machine fits perfectly inside a small wooden box - just the right size for carry-on luggage.

I am a sucker for formula movies. Just love 'em. This movie is a mix of Cliffhanger, Air Force One, Broken Arrow, and last, but not least, The Long Kiss Goodnight - my all time favorite formula movie.

Speaking of The Long Kiss Goodnight, the entire climax of this film from the black 18-wheeler tanker to the explosion of the Canadian-US border is nearly an exact copy of that film. Frame for frame, it's a pitiful ripoff.

This movie doesn't deserve any stars at all.

If it's variety you're after in an action flick, this is the movie for you.

We've got the CIA; avalanches; diabetic Dads; gullible train conductors; Christmas parades; ludicrous doomsday devices.

Exploding helicopters, exploding trucks, exploding airplanes, exploding cars, and exploding bicycles. (Okay, not bicycles, but only because the producer had already filled the movie's quota of exploding transportation.)

White mountain goats; beautifully appointed vacation houses with working phones out in the middle of nowhere; internet rumors.

And Bongo the Bear.

We also have CIA agent Treat Williams merrily wisecracking all through the film, no matter how many people are slaughtered right in front of him. The CIA obviously gives some of their agents happy pills before every assignment.

This movie is an outright fraud. It simply splices in footage of the films, "Cliffhanger"(Sylvester Stallone), "Narrow Margin"(Gene Hackman), and "Long Kiss Goodnight"(Gena Davis). This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. How it managed to get a 5.7 rating I don't understand. I am taking this back to Blockbuster and demand my rental fee back. Has anyone ever seen this done in another film?

I actually liked this film up to the "long kiss goodnight" climax which was not just a rip off it was the exact same footage from driving through the christmas parade to the truck exploding with the exception of the close up's of the stars of this film. (its not hard to tell the difference between a mid '90's ford and a 2000 oldsmobile). I cant say dont watch it but if you go for low budget crap that looks like high budget then it is watchable.

I'm a huge Treat Williams fan but I have to say... this movie sucked. The acting really wasn't bad, I don't blame the actors at all. But all in all the summary leads you to believe that Treat Williams is the hero and he gets involved like no other when in all reality, it's almost shot like there's 5 different stories going on at the same time. It was really hard to enjoy this, a couple of the jokes were pretty good and you can enjoy SOME of the dialogue but for the most part.. this movie was a bit of a joke. If it had been edited much better and perhaps if there was a bit more to the relationship between Agent Jason and Nadia it COULD have passed for an okay movie. Some of the scenes look like they were ripped off some other movie too.. not pleased.
