StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
queesapph A complete waste time, I almost think it was purposefully a goof done by 3 respectful actors. Terrible editing, in car scenes were better in Seinfeld and movies from the 50s, the explosions were awful. Do not see this trash, get catherized instead, or perhaps a colonscopy, without any anesthesia, would be a better option than sitting through this movie.
francis-reilly The only reason i gave it 1 was the cast, why oh why would the I.R.A or anyone connected to the I.R.A want to bomb any part of America, if you caused years of hurt and pain and wanted to wipe out a nation like Cromwell, then we would have a reason the cause pain, blow up and cause pain to Americans, you may think i am ranting on but i am Irish, i have seen the troubles, and we have no reason to take revenge on America, $7,000,000 box office?, you need to look at what your watching, who is this Laurens H Koehoorn's ?, write something about true facts or something more realistic. I need to write more but that's about your lot
bogusz_d This "film" is the worst piece of crap, I've ever seen. The acting is worse than only bad ,it's horrible , action is extremely boring, screenplay was written by 4 year old kid. Direction ? It's Albert Pyun's film.He made such an "amazing" blockbusters like Nemesis 4: Death Angel, Omega Doom or Kickboxer 4: The Aggressor, so you should expect the worst.Believe me it is very difficult to say anything good about this movie. Maybe cast ? Tom Sizemore and Denis Hopper are really good actors but not in this crap. Steven Seagal? watching this film I can only see for myself that Seagal's career is on the bottom of the sea. Don't waste your time watching this junk. Your eyes are to precious.
elshikh4 Yes, This comment may contain spoilers, but believe me.. It wouldn't matter at all !!It's not great for sure, although it's not that bad either. But when it comes to a movie with bombs maniac in it, I just prefer an Egyptian one named (Batal min warak - 1988) or (Hero Made of Paper); it was super thriller comedy, even by the American cinema measures (you can find it on the IMDb database). And as for (Ticker), I just want to talk about a bit of what provoked me. For instance, Jaime Pressly. She is one hot chick, no doubt about that. But in (Ticker).. it's painful experiment if you forced yourself to watch her till the end (yes, I did that to myself !!). There is no acting, hot moments, or anything exciting at all (except one witty surprise in the end). Dennis Hopper plays a very weak character, because simply there is no good motive with any meaning to justify all of this bombing here and there, only this funny desire to be Michelangelo of the exploding art ?!?!And above all.. The real thing to irritate, aggravate, annoy, and boil you.. The cool presence.. The very cooooool presence of the one and only : Mr. Steven Seagal.. The greatest of the worst action heroes ever !It was so boring here to wait that long to watch him in a fight (and it was just ONE fight !). However this time I was so lucky, because I've waited longer than that while watching his other movie (The Patriot - 1998) to have nothing at all eventually !! And believe me, in Ticker, you'll have your own share of laughs, especially in the climactic sequence, when the bomb is about detonation, and there is just minutes before the big BOOOM, and Seagal is giving a long philosophical lesson to Tom Sizemore, talking in his real ridiculous calm way about forgetting all of the fear and all of the hope too, plus whatever attaches you to death or life, and how that will make you so confident and successful and happy !!.. Because love is forever baby !!I think that was the very words of Steven Seagal himself as a Buddhist. I can see clearly how it's connected to whatever he believes in and performs too. Of course there is nothing wrong with Buddha and his wisdom, but there are many wrong things with Seagal and his career !In (Ticker) you can simply replace him and put for example (Peter Weller), he would be funnier. Or you can bring (Christopher Lambert) or (Armand Assante) instead, but I think as bombs expert, they would be that cheerful, or that mad, to blow it all up !! Hmmm.. maybe bringing (Tom Sizemore) himself would be good idea as his own twin brother, OH YEAH that would've made it more worth watching ! And let him be the one who killed his brother's family; WAW.. I think any of my nonsense is better than the "love never die" end !At last, I think that Steven Seagal as a star (or in the way of being an ex–star) released from his "fear" of losing, and his "hope" to be a true action star as (Jackie Chan) or (Sylvester Stallone). So he would do such movies like this over and over again. But I just ask myself not how could he be that bad every time without getting any better ? No.. I ask myself : If that's the case.. Who on earth would watch him again ?!
