Retour en force

This inconceivably bad movie teams up comedian Joe Torry and former LB Brian Bosworth in what can only be described as an action/comedy. It fails, however, in being much of either. The scenes look barely choreographed, the dialogue is insipid, the characters look uncomfortable with one another, the action is stilted, the F/X look twenty years old, the plot has no connection whatsoever with anything resembling reality, and the continuity makes the scenes look like they were put in order by drawing them out of a hat. Of the hundreds of movies that I've watched and rated, this is one of four to receive a rating of "one."

Brian's latest movie about a drug ring that he and Joe Torry try to stop. In this one, Brain (Joe Elkhart) is double-crossed twice and still gets the job done. Brian returns to his former self which is what got him into the movie business in the first place. After some disappointing movies, he's back and almost better than ever. Brion James co-stars in the movie and portrays his usual conman self. Elkhart was kicked off the force and divorced and is trying to get his life back together with the help of a therapist. He decides that the only remedy to solve his problems is taking action. Hopefully this movie will be a comeback for Brian and lead to many more "Boz" movies.

I loved how silly and over the top Stone Cold 1 from 1991 which was a great suggestion I think it was youtube gave me to watch ages ago as I love so bad they are good movies and somehow I ran across this movie on youtube where they claimed it was Stone Cold 2. Safe to say I was excited. Well.. it isn't. I watched 34 minutes of it and I was bored out of my mind. The story was almost non-existent. The basketball scene went on too long and if you're expecting a cheesy over the top movie full of bikes who can't act to save their lives this is not for you. I don't remember any of the characters names and I couldn't find a single reason to keep watching it. If the story was better and anything else I'd let it slide. I love action movies from the 80s and 90s but this was just a complete waste of time. I had more mental stimulation putting this review together.

I don't know what happened with this film. Did they run out of money? or did they just make it up as they went along? They probably thought it was good when they made it but the studio cut it like a rusty razor.

It is hard to find a redeeming aspect of the film. The characters are all wooden, except for Joe Torry. In the end I don't care if the main character dies or not. A bit of naughty action might have given this film an extra half-star but sadly even this is not present in this sad excuse for film.

1 1/2 stars out of 100!

"Back in Business" tells of a ex-cop who teams up with his ex-partner to make a drug bust and...well, fix everything else which is wrong with his little corner of the world. A marginal action flick at best, "BinB" has very ordinary stunts and action sequences replete with all the usual machine gun wielding heavies; a sexless love relationship between the hero and delicious Dara; and lots of fun macho banter between Bosworth and his partner. If the film has anything at all going for it, it's the sort of dumb charm of square jawed and ruggedly handsome Bosworth's character who is trying to get in touch with his feminine side and control his anger with the help of his talk-radio psychotherapist while clumsily stumbling into the action spotlight and settling old scores. An okay no brainer for action junkies only.
