DVD Reviews of Chaos

DVD Review: The Seattle Connection
Summary: 3 Stars

Tony Giglio directed "In Enemy Hands." I haven't seen it. In the DVD extras, he said he wanted to make a film that was like "The French Connection," a homage to 70s action films that had great car chases, entertaining while made for a relatively low budget. He accomplished his goal. "Chaos" doesn't challenge you in any emotional way. It's more of a mystery than an action film, trying to figure out who done it.

Jason Statham is now a major action star. I also watched him this weekend in Revolver. This film won't make me forget "The Transporter" which I liked because of its blend of action and romance. There really isn't that much romance going on in this film. Statham is about like he is in the other films I've seen, always interesting, but not that different.

Ryan Phillippe plays Detective Shane Dekker. Phillippe was in Breach (Widescreen Edition), the Academy Award winning Crash (Widescreen Edition) & Gosford Park. His intensity is impressive. There's one scene where he listening to another person on the phone who gets important information. He slams his hand down on the desk and yells, "Yes!" I thought, "Now, that's over the top" & rewound it, but he actually looks pretty good. He appears pretty banged up and leaves blood on the side of his head between locations. One imagines that they were short of towels and water in Seattle.

Wesley Snipes won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival for "One Night Stand" in 1997. He does a good job in this picture, but most likely won't be picking up a statue. I liked his wisecracking on the phone from the bank, only to hear the altered voice sound like a garbled monotone. In the DVD extras, he said he didn't want his fight scenes to look like "Blade." I think he did that.

Henry Czerny from The Pink Panther (Special Edition) & The Ice Storm does a good job as the thickheaded Captain Martin Jenkins. He's so incredibly shortsighted that one wonders how he got to be the leader.

Justine Waddell who starred in TV's "The Mystery of Natalie Wood" plays Detective Teddy Balloway. She's having an affair with the captain and used to sleep with Statham's Quentin Conner. She's a pretty confused girl as far as relationships, and wouldn't you know that she didn't turn off her cell phone?!?

Ty Olsson who I've been watching as Sam on TV's "Men In Trees," plays the bad guy who winds up in the hospital. He does a good job of being very different, making me stretch to connect him with television. There's also a small part done well by the bank manager Rob LaBelle who has appeared in many television series like "The 4400" & "The Dead Zone."

"Chaos" is not the most original of films, nor does it intend to be. It's an interesting evening's entertainment. I saw it at a sidewalk sale, which prompted me renting it. I didn't go back to the sidewalk. But I liked it well enough. Enjoy!
