Note de panthonyd
So I was perusing the local video store the other day and came across this movie. The cover shows the two main actors, an explosion and a helicopter coming out of the flames. Looks like it could be a good Friday night action movie ... especially with the talents of the two main characters. I figured that the boxing story would be parallel to some cooler story like a prison break, or mob hits, or whatever.
Boy was I wrong.
First of all, the helicopter on the cover makes its one and only scene dropping "Ice Man" off at the prison. As for the explosion and flames ... they don't exist, unless you count the sparks from the welders locking Snipes in confinement (don't they have locks?). There is no plot, no twists, no excitement and very little action. A total lack of character development makes you hope that they both knock each other out because you really could care less who wins.
How two great actors got drawn to this lemon totally baffles me. Maybe Snipes always dreamed of playing a character who can build a large chinese-looking building out of his used toothpicks ... while in solitary confinement no less! No wonder I never saw this in theaters.

It's too funny to be a drama. Too serious to be a comedy. Ricci is too hot to not even show any cleavage. And Sam Ball's face is too big to be sexy. He looks like the offspring of Cary Elwes and Bruce Campbell's chin. Not that that's such a bad thing ... at least he inherited some acting ability. Overall, the movie was entertaining. Rooting for the underdog is always fun. But, it was too corny to be taken seriously.
I think people rave about this movie because it is cool to like Lynch's films. They think that since it is so messed up, it must be genious and if they don't like it, they must be stupid. What was the point of this movie? I can't say any of his previous movies have bugged me as much as this one. Then again, maybe he IS a genious and I AM just an idiot. As for me, I'll stick to more coherent plot twists like a Coen Brothers movie or even Richard Kelley. * out of ***** only because I am a guy and this movie had lesbian scenes in it (although the DVD had Camilla's lower region blurred out. What was up with that?)
