Synopsis:

 

Chev Chelios is a professional assassin working for the West Coast crime syndicate. Chev's girlfriend Eve doesn't know what Chev does and Chev is planning to quit the crime syndicate so he can spend more time with her. But for Chev, things about to get very bad, when he learns he has been injected with a poison called "The Beijing Cocktail" by his rival Verona, which will kill him if his heart rate drops. Trying to stay alive and seeking help from friend, Kaylo and Doc Miles, to keep his heart pumping. Chev sets out to find answers as well as protecting Eve, and get his revenge on those who have betrayed him before the poison kills him.

 

Brian's Rating: B- : This movie went so over the top in terms of plot inconsistencies that I am forced to believe it was done on purpose (like Bond films).  However, unlike Bond films, it was hard to care about any of the characters.

The movie does have some unique film style, and is chalk full of constant motion and heavy metal music.  In the end, it was entertaining to watch, although if it was any longer, it would have gotten boring real quick.  The entire movie consists of the main character running around like a maniac in order to keep his adrenaline pumping (the ill-conceived story dynamic resulting from a poison).

 

Sebastian's Rating: B : spoiler alert:

This movie was actually pretty good, and a fairly sad ending when he falls of the helicopter. What suprises and dissapoints me is this movie was that good, they are making a sequel. so he survies the fall ect.

i just thought id like to throw that out there, that number one is that good (not the best) that they are making a crappy sequel to it. :)
