Sexylocher Masterful Movie
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Cunninghamolga This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
gridoon2018 If nothing else, "Body Count" deserves credit for proving how utterly cool Sonny Chiba still was in the 1990s (and in his 50s). He is "officially" the bad guy of this film, and he certainly kills a lot of people, but when you think about it it is really the fault of someone else - you don't hire a Japanese hit-man to do your dirty work for you and then screw him over when it's payday! The stupendously leggy Brigitte Nielsen, who plays his partner (yes, it's an unorthodox pairing), has an awe-inspiring introduction in veeeeery short shorts and deeeeeep cleavage, but almost nothing she does in the rest of the movie matches that sequence, and her climactic catfight with a female FBI agent is especially disappointing. Robert Davi and Steven Bauer basically sleepwalk through the film, but they do have enough presence to make some moments work. "Body Count" runs too long at 95 minutes, but it does offer some decent stunts and action sequences - even a bus gets flipped over! Sonny Chiba fans, in particular, may want to take a look. ** out of 4.
nextgenpp1 I knew from the cover box at the video store, this was going to be a cheap one,(a sexy woman with a gun in her hand). I waited till it was on TV one night and I'm glad I did. Cheap fight scenes,poor script,and weak directing tried to hold this joke together. The only draw was Bridgette Nielson. I was curious to see how she came along since her marriage with Stallone fizzled. I don't think the Academy is going to be calling anytime soon. Unless you are a die-hard Brigette Nielson or Sonny Chiba fan don't be in a rush to see this. Robert Davi and Jan Michael Vincent round out the cast in what could have been a much better movie if some more care and effort had been put in to it. Something to have on in the background while you're doing something else.
nitflegal It's actually worth watching for the cheese. See Sonny Chiba slumming! See a 5'4" shrimpy actress beat-up 6'1" amazon Brigitte Nielsen! See the most exciting 3 mph trolley fight in cinematic history! See Brigitte Nielsen wearing boots, then heels, then boots again, then heels, then tennis shoes (nice job, continuity editor!) in the climactic battle where she gets squashed by the slowest lowering lift in history (remember the steam-roller in the first Austin Powers?)!See 90 minutes of your life gone, never to return.Matt
Eegah Guy Who cares about the plot. The only reason to sit through this assembly-line action junk is to see Japanese action star Sonny Chiba throw a very old and sick-looking Jan-Michael Vincent off a building roof and former Stallone girlfriend Brigitte Nielsen shoot a guy wearing a Residents T-shirt. Crater-faced Robert Davi is dull as dirt and Steven Bauer looks real paunchy with a bad haircut to boot. Not much of interest here.
