The Weakest Link

A Customer from Highlands, 18th March, 2009

So, it's a Western with kickboxing - I can just about suspend my disbelief and go with it. The plot and most of the actors aren't too bad, though pretty predictable and formulaic. And it could have worked. Except - the whole film is let down by the dreadful 'comic' monocled German 'villain' (with overdubbed grunts and accent), which is a shame. And then...the final fight scene, towards which everything has been building (supposedly), is a wasted opportunity - such an anticlimax. This film could have been so much better - ditch the German and pump up the final fight, but, alas, it can not recover from these weaknesses.

A Customer from London, 7th June, 2007

Not impressed, very corny, like a Jean-Claude Van Damme wannabee movie.
