'Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever' had all the making for success. It had two sexy leads in Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu. It had a cool, yet indecipherable name. And it looked to be a stylized action film. Aside from having some eye candy, the movie is dull. I'm still not sure what the title means, and I've seen the movie. Were they trying to make Ecks and Sever into characters that the world would know and love? It's not like Spiderman Vs. Batman. No one knows who Ecks or Sever is.
When it comes to action movies, people just want action scenes that surprise them. That's not the case with 'Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever.' Nothing ruins an action movie faster than not having unique action scenes. It's not like people show up for the dialogue.
