DVD Reviews of Stone Cold
DVD Review: Not as good as it could have been
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is more like a typical Steven Seagal flick than, say, the Terminator or Dirty Harry films, or even Seagal's own Under Siege, and not because of the budget. It just doesn't try to be anything better. When it comes to plot, script, character development, and so on, not much effort is made to do anything more than the minimum needed to stick to the formula and get from one explosion and bloody confrontation to the next. Which seems a waste to me, since the talent and money were there to make this a better movie, if anyone had cared at all.
As a corrective to the very high rating this movie has here, consider that the IMDb average viewer rating for it is currently 4.9/10, which is strictly mediocre. (For comparison, Under Siege is rated by viewers at 6.2/10.)
To illustrate the needlessly weak points, this a movie in which if you need to get a submachine gun into a courtroom you just dress up like a priest and when the metal detector goes off, you show them your little cross pendant. Need to get out of a flying helicopter? Jump fifty feet down through some glass and you're fine. Shoot at a car or crash a motorcycle and it goes up like it's filled with napalm and lit matches, every time. Need to create some suspense? Have someone call and say they've found that the driver's license records of the undercover hero are "cross-indexed" to another name. Want to maximize the body count? Why not have the bad guys actually succeed in killing all their targets before the hero manages to give them a taste of their own medicine? (I think he did manage to save a secretary.) Need a bit of romance? Set it up, show the kiss, and just waste it at the end. It's impossible to guess why the bad guys didn't just kill the hero like they did everyone else, except of course that he was the hero. Some of the plot elements are only vaguely connected.
Well, you know if such things matter to you.
I mentioned talent. On the plus side, Bosworth isn't a great actor, but he was good enough to be in a much better movie. He's big and beefy and projects a suitably cool power. The film has an effectively gritty look and feel; most of the supporting roles are well enough filled; the motorcycles sound great and you get to see them a lot; the action overall is pretty good, particularly the helicopter stunts (before the jumping out part).
If you don't expect much of what makes for a superior film, or if you take pleasure in the common defects of this kind of movie, you'll probably enjoy it. Otherwise, don't bother.
