Judgment Day

Ice-T stars as a federal prisoner that is doing a deed for the FBI, where a scientist is kidnapped by an extremist group, with Mario Van Peebles as the leader. An asteroid threatens the earth (a la Armageddon), and the top scientist is kidnapped, and hope lies with both Ice-T and Suzy Amis (Titanic) as an FBI agent.

Ice-T might be portraying another stereotypical role as a convict, as well as the villain, like his previous films, but his vulgar overtones might sound like one of his rap songs. Check out a cameo by Coolio as a street hustler, and this film marks the third appearance of Tiny Lister (Trespass, Jackie Brown) with Ice-T.

The scene where Amis cuffs Ice-T to the steering wheel of the car has been repeated several times, in films like Rush Hour. 48 HRS. was the first film to feature such a scene, and every fan of the film might view this scene as homage to a timeless classic.

Why Mario Van Peebles as the black David Koresh? Ice-T might have lynched his ass in this film, since the two first met in New Jack City.

This Direct to video nonsense, features Boring performances, Awful special effects and Laughable screenplay and lots of boring action, surely one of the worst movies since Fair Game Not a good movie to rent.

This movie is alright! I've seen it a number of times. It's one of those movies that you can see a number of times and not get bored of it.

Mario van Peebles and tommy Lister jr. gave good performances in my opinion. I like the idea of a religious activist believing that God had decided the world's fate and that it should be interfered with. Good special effects.

I don't know why this movie didn't come out at the cinema because I like the movie. Good story. Coolio's gangster character was a brief but interesting part of the film. A few things could have been done a little better, but a good movie on the whole. Worth watching.

Bad acting + bad direction + a mish-mosh of a plot adds up to one terrible movie. I was lucky to have caught it on Hulu, because I'd be really upset if I'd paid to watch this dreck.

Don't waste your time.

I recently watched Judgement Day (1999) on Tubi. The storyline follows the impending end of the world and a scientist who may be Earth's last hope. However, a cult leader believes the apocalypse is God's will and kidnaps the scientist. An unlikely pair of agents must track down the cult, rescue the scientist, and try to save the world.

This picture is directed by John Terlesky (Written in Blood) and stars Ice-T (New Jack City), Mario Van Peebles (Heartbreak Ridge), Tiny Lister Jr. (Friday), Suzy Amis (The Usual Suspects), and Coolio (Daredevil).

This is one of those movies that's terrible-but I enjoy it every time. The acting is wildly inconsistent, with Amis having zero chemistry with Ice-T, but Van Peebles and Tiny Lister give surprisingly entertaining performances and had me cracking up. The cast is actually pretty stacked. I also laughed out loud at Coolio's brief five-second appearance-it's so random, and it gets me every time.

The storyline is a mess, the logic is out the window, but honestly, that's part of the charm.

In conclusion, Judgement Day is a bad movie, no question-but it's a fun kind of bad. I'd give it an honest 3/10.
