Comment:
Ticker is a small little film of Action signed by Albert Pyun, a master of science fiction b-movies and kickboxerxploitation, starring actors like Tom Sizemore navigators, Dennis Hopper and Steven Seagal. Pyun certainly takes its typical elements and features of his repertoire, with its unmistakable hand of the track segments that border on melodramatic visibly out of context quite the farce. Sequences that, as already demonstrated in some of his earlier work as a Cyborg, be carried out strictly in slow and, with flashbacks, they form the background of the main characters.
Thus, in this way, the disruptive Sizemore turns out then, according to the color of his colleague who died in the first ten minutes, "plagued by his demons", and Only the encounter with the blaster / mystic / wise Seagal (in record time that has taken over the 20 kg lost Wounds ) put an end to his inner conflict. Epica the final sequence where the two, intent on detonating two bombs simultaneously in several separate locations, instead of worrying about which wire to cut talking on the transience of life and the fragility of human suffering (from fear eh?). Dennis Hopper, practically reduced to a marginal role, embodies the schizoid villain who turns out to then turn at the mercy of the beautiful and deadly Jaime Pressly (DOA , My Name Is Earl).
Hopper shot her scenes in a single day and has never met the other stars of the film. Easily understand the situation in some sequences assembled ad hoc, visibly cobbled together show that in some ways a technical approaches adopted in the past with films such as Double Impact Van Damme.
Despite some questionable choices, such as those mentioned above, the film has a good pace and although it is definitely a product of poor quality of the Action that does not annoy the fans would definitely appreciate the various explosions Pyun gives us during the course history.
Small note on Steven Seagal, and mummified imbolsito, which plays a role on the desk, but in the last quarter of an hour Final sbaraglierà hordes of terrorists with his deadly aikido in some scenes and turn mounted as best as possible, given that the superstar is no longer booming "er na de Vorta cheetah."
Ticker, finally, is a product to spend an hour and a half empty, an action that typically nineties dall'appasionato leave quietly look like that.
