Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever (2002) Synopsis:

In the deadly game of international espionage, elite anonymous operatives wage secret wars for power, information and national security. Agendas are rarely what they seem. Word has recently been circulating in these exclusive ranks of an ingenious new assassination device. Microscopic and injectable, it lies dormant inside its victim until activated and then kills in an instant, leaving no trace. In the frantic race to obtain this device, only two individuals, sworn enemies, have the skill, talent and tenacity to succeed. One is an agent known only by the code name Sever. Lethally trained to be the perfect weapon, Sever is precise and relentless in her pursuit of a goal. The other is the brilliant and determined former FBI man-hunter Jeremiah Ecks. Once preeminent in his field, Ecks resigned from the agency when his wife was killed in an explosion that left him a guilt-ridden emotional shell of himself. Now, forced back into service by his former mentor for the most challenging assignment of his career, Ecks prepares to face off against agent Sever, his most formidable foe.

Ballistic: Ecks Vs Sever (2002) Review:

As summer draws to an end and award season begins, the last of the blockbusters slowly die down in theatres.

With Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, they attempt to end the summer season with a bang. Quite a few of them to be exact. In fact, there are more explosions in Ballistic than can be kept track of. At times it feels as if everyone in the film should be dead. Despite some confusion in plot though, Ballistic is definately entertaining.

Agent Ecks, played by Antonio Banderez, is asked to help find the kidnapped child of a very important man. Ecks is retired for reasons that seem to be as complicated as a soap opera. But that really isn't important because he can still fight, and that is about the extent of the film's worth. It seems that the child was kidnapped, for other complicated reasons, by Agent Sever, played by Lucy Lieu.

Sever also has the talent of fighting well and blowing everything up without ever messing up her hair or makeup. Ballistic has more twists than it has explosions, but fortunately they don't stop the action long enough for us to lose interest.

Is it wrong to watch a movie merely for the action? If you believe so, then stay far away from this film because as hard as it tries to be complicated and deep, it ends up confused and unbelievable. In one scene Ecks has Sever held by a shotgun.

For no apparent reson other than to allow more fighting, Ecks put down the shotgun in order to take out a pistol. During this process Sever is given the opportunity to knock both weapons out of Eck's hands. Ballistic is filled with silly scenarios like this. It is also difficult to accept the mass destruction and armies that are destroyed in order to get to one man. It is never really known who is working for who, or if they are good or bad, but watch the film to admire the action and cinematography, and you will enjoy Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. Even though it has one of the worst titles in years.
