Crackerjack

but Thomas Ian Griffith just doesn't have the polish that a big bucks actor has, granted this was made 5+ years ago. Some of the humorous lines could have been timed to make this not only action, but comedy. And how do you get KC out of Katia Koslovska anyhow? Plummer's character was so corny, he would have fit better in a Bullwinkle toon. Personally, if action flicks are going to show skin -- I'd have liked to have seen equal time between female/male, otherwise don't show any.

It's Die Hard meets Cliffhanger when a ski resort is besieged by terrorists and it's up to one cop, Jack (Crackerjack) to stop this.

A B-action movie that borrows from other films and is quite good with pretty good action, a ridiculous plot (as always in these movies) and three fine stars. Thomas Ian Griffith as the cop and Nastasja Kinski and Christopher Plummer as terrorists. If you don't like stupid B-action movies this is not for you.

Put up your hand and than catapult it down, and say "bah!" to this film. An extremely weak film, that is based upon some old, already used cliché, you know "terrorists taking over, one man army, bunch of hostage", this time in the mountain hotel. Well... yahoo.

We got Thomas Ian Griffith (Karate Kid 3, Vampires) as a leading action man, but he looked here like he didn't give a damn for this film. He was even slow in martial arts scenes, he can do faster than that, but when you're doing a low budget film... what's the point? Christopher Plummer is here! What a hell? A great, classically trained actor to appear in such low budget crap as a leading villain? I don't understand... what is attractive to such great actors in low budget films? We also have Nastasja Kinski... well, she was OK.

There isn't much to say about this crap film. Except... you can watch it if you want to... fall asleep for example.

Yes the plot has been done over and over again. But the plot works. Lethal weapon it is not but they tried!. Certainly not a mind blowing action masterpiece but it's a pleasant way to pass the time.

Serious contender for the so bad it's good sweepstakes. "CrackerJack" is a cliche loaded "Die Hard" clone that despite the straight to video, low budget, bad acting, plastic model blow ups, zero logic script, instant romance, indestructible hero, and on and on, delivers some chuckles because everything is being taken seriously. Christopher Plummer probably wishes he never signed on for this bomb, but he plays his bad guy to the hilt. The rest of the cast appears to be walking through their lines wishing they were somewhere else. There is no point in doing anything here except sitting back expecting bad everything, and marveling at the total ineptitude on display. The film has a touch of gratuitous nudity, a cavern that looks like it was made out of PlayDough, exploding helicopters, exploding areal tram, and an avalanche. If you are in the mood for a good bad movie, you could do a lot worse. - MERK
