That was an excellent one.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

If anyone reads this just know i only got 30mins into this god awful movie before i fell asleep. no, i was not tired, it just bored me to tears is all! the ghostly camera work at the start is ugly. an opening sequence of city shots layered on top of each other? tony Scott did it better! slowing down and speeding up the film? tony Scott did it better! in fact this movie just steals from every other movie and has no originality. the creepy music is out of place and snipes looks bored and desperate for any acting job.in fact the whole cast is rubbish and cant act! why bother tell this story? its not worth telling..i have no idea why they bother

'GAME OF DEATH': Three Stars (Out of Five) Another direct to video Wesley Snipes action film (although it was released theatrically in Japan last November, 2010). In this one Snipes plays a CIA agent who's double crossed by his team on assignment in Detroit. Most of the action takes place in a hospital where Snipes dukes it out with a team of crooked CIA assailants. The film co-stars Zoe Bell, Robert Davi, Ernie Hudson and Gary Daniels (who also played one of the main evil goons in 'THE EXPENDABLES'). It was directed by Giorgio Serafini and written by Jim Agnew and Megan Brown. The film is pretty standard direct to video action fare for the most part but it does have some pretty well done fight scenes and is slightly more entertaining than most, I'd say.The bulk of the film is played out in movie flashbacks as CIA agent Marcus Jones (Snipes) explains the events of his last assignment to a Catholic priest (Hudson) in a church one afternoon. Jones tells how he was posing as the body guard for an arms dealer named Frank Smith (Davi) when his former CIA team double crossed him and his mentor in an attempt to steal $100,000,000 from Smith and his partner John Redvale (Quinn Duffy). They attack Jones and Smith in the car they're traveling in when Smith has a heart attack and Jones takes him to a nearby hospital. The crooked CIA agents then ascend on the hospital in attempt to capture Smith when Jones takes them on one by one.The film is somewhat predictable and pretty routine. The directing is stylized and kind of cool at times but not so impressive at others. The martial arts fight scenes are all well done though and Snipes once again makes a cool 'badass' action hero. Hopefully he can get back to doing some more A list work when he gets out of prison in three years (for tax evasion) but these B action films aren't a bad way for him to show his skills either. They definitely make him and other comparable action stars decent money so you can't feel too sorry for Mr. Snipes paying his dues for trying to rip everyone off. Daniels and Bell are good action movie villains as well and the movie as a whole is just about what you'd expect from something like this. Like I said the film is about average, I'd say it's a little better than the usual but not much.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU_O9yN8W_E

*Contains Spoilers*I like Wesley Snipes, he is pretty decent at what he does and I don't suppose we'll be seeing him in anything new for some time but I was looking forward to Game of Death when I saw it was available on pay per view.Firstly the direction was 'odd'. At times the camera angles felt totally out of place and on occasion even slightly disorientating, but some of the scenes, especially the car chases were done quite well. I'm not sure if it was just my TV but I also felt it didn't always run smoothly.The acting wasn't great, Zoe Bell was annoying throughout although Gary Daniels played the part well enough and Snipes' charisma just about manages to hold things together.My biggest criticism is that too many simple things weren't 'right' just for the plot to fit and progress. Snipes' gun had unlimited bullets throughout the film until the roof top just so the finale could end in a hand to hand fight. The security at the vault was beyond pathetic as well; for a vault that has $100 million, two security officers seems a little on the lean side. The entire hospital also seemed oblivious to the gun fight going on around them, I could go on, but nothing felt like it really fit.As a final point, and not necessarily a negative. I couldn't help but feel that rather than the movie itself being about losing ones way and forgiveness and redemption, instead a story was conjured up to fit around Snipes confessing in the church.Despite my criticisms of Game of Death I did enjoy watching it for what it was, although I doubt I'd recommend it to anybody else unless it happens to just be on TV on any given random day.5/10

I was totally stoked about this movie after seeing the preview (by the way I can't stand the "cool" industry insiders who insist on calling movie previews "trailers" just to prove that they are cool movie insiders. Do they appear before or after the feature film??? DUH!!!).Anyway, this movie turned out to be cheesy and formulaic. The preview made Snipes' character seem totally invincible with far superior karate fighting skills (which would have been awesome and something I long for).After watching the Special Features - which were not very good at all - I realized what the problem was. The Director was thrown into this project right before they started shooting with little preparation (and possible experience in this genre) and has a working style of 'just getting it done'. He did just get it done - with very unremarkable results.I don't blame Snipes at all - his performance was very good with what he had to work with. He seemed to just go along with this schlock, just as he went along with the con artists (one was actually named Kahn) who led him into an illegal tax scheme to defraud the federal government that landed him in jail.I also see how movie Previews are made by independent production houses and can be very misleading about the actual quality of a film. In this case they made a very good one. Maybe they should have produced the entire film!Oh, one more thing. 100 millions dollars (in 100's) can be carried in just 2 modest-sized duffel bags? Wow! How dumb do they think we are?
