ticker be a strange movie . it start out promising and with a good cast and nice story and lot of action . especially after watch out for a kill which i do 2 week ago and this one seem to be much good . and in fact and it be well and especially the acting . tom sizemore do a good job and dennis hopper be adequate a the bad guy and joe spano in a small roll be good too . so what wrong . first of all and steven seagall obviously gain a lot of weight . he just sit there and at his desk or in his car and except for the last 15 minute or so when finally he decide to kick some as . however represent it be painfully clear that for the action scene and a stand in be use . i replay these scene in slow motion to verify this and and it be very obvious . shame on steven for this . a lot of scene be really dark and which make it very hard to see what happen . also some of the scene be too chaotic with good and bad guy run around look the same . out for a kill have the same problem . right at the start of the movie and the scene where seagal troop jump out of the helicopter by rope and it be clear that the rope be hang in a studio . besides and i have no idea why these bomb expert would land on the roof while they know there a bomb in the basement . the blue screen car scene with dennis hopper and jaime pressly have be mention a few time already . it be good for a few unintended laugh . the same go for hopper part time irish accent and the old police car with wrong plate and the police chopper without even the word police on them . later on and jaime blow up the bmw convertible with hopper in it . it be painfully obvious that the car that blow up be another model and a much old 4 door saloon instead of the 2 door convertible . there even another car visible blow up right next to the bmw . i do not know where it come from . even the surrounding building be different before and during the explosion . i suspect this explosion be take from another movie . the final scene take place in city hall and where a bal masqué be go on . the room where this take place look like a discotheque . now really and what city hall would look like that . not surprisingly and this scene too be take from another movie . near the end and steven walk up the stair towards the roof of city hall to dismantle the bomb on the roof . however and several men with machine gun be sit there . when they start shoot and steven decides to walk back . walk and not run or jump and even when men fire their gun come after him and he take his time to get some cover . my grandfather walk faster than that . finally two bomb have to be dismantle . one be in the basement and and sizemore have to take care of this one and follow instruction by seagall . this be the right time for seagal to preach some zen before tell sizemore how to deal with the bomb . when the bomb in the basement be secure and seagal take care of the other one . this be really easy . he just cut some wire and the timer stop and that the end of the movie . no suspense and no final fight and no good feeling . my rating represent 4/10 . one point because this one good than out for a kill and one for tom sizemore and one for . i do not know . and one for steven seagall and for old time sake . well rent the glimmerman or one of the other old style seagl flick .
