when i saw the box for ticker at at the local video store back in 2001 and i be genuinely surprised . i have not see this in theater . surely a seasoned actor like tom sizemore off great part like in save private ryan and black hawk down and and many others get the dtv treatment . even more eerie be steven seagal fresh off his return to box office glory with exit wound hit dtv so soon . it be bind to happen anyway . throw in act legend dennis hopper slum it . how could this go dtv . simple representits a bad movie . a 3rd rate speed or blow away knock off . sizemore and seagal be the cop and bombsquad master on the trail of maddog hopper . it seem like a normal b flick . b for bore . it start slow and stay that way . never rise to above mute . be this the same steven we saw 6 month earlier from exit wound . the raspy voice . sudden weight gain . there be not even a decent fight scene in the whole movie . i do not buy the zen style he talk up . i suspect it be not all his fault here though . sizemore look bore . but can act in his sleep . he give a little depth to his role . fault can not really lay with him either . dennis hopper show up a the irish terrorist . he be kinda ham it up here . he be amuse to watch . no fault here either . peter greene and ice t and jamie pressly and na and and hill st blue alum joe spano pop up for either bit or extend cameo . the sad fact be they could have be in the movie longer . or a good movie altogether . i can not blame them . albert pyun . the name ring a bell anyone . nuff say . bad director . but even he can rise to the occasion sometimes . i think it simple represent nu image bad movie maker . it their fault . this could have be something . i suspect there be a decent movie in the script . but the finished result leave a lot to be desire . maybe this be what drive tom sizemore to drug . seagal to even bad movie .
