7/10
Robert Patrick and his Magic Exploding Bullets
7 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This is a cheap take off of Die Hard, but it's memorable once you get past the build up romantic part which is a rip off of Robocop, where the cop is having flashbacks to his wife and kids. I watched it with my wife and she was thoroughly entertained so the romantic parts were good in terms of making it more of a date flick for guys to watch. I was watching it for massive carnage and was instantly amused that Patrick's rifle bullets were all explosive grenade types. Which, outside of a shotgun sized shell, I don't know of explosive bullets in the normal rifle size. This trick was done in Robocop with the bad guys in the end getting the "latest military hardware" in the future so it was easy to suspend belief with that but this is set in 1994 not 2044, so if you are looking for realism skip this one. I knew it would be a cheesy film so was OK with it. Oh, and all the bad guys when they use rifles their bullets don't explode either. Keep an eye on Patrick around the third boss attack, a henchman will be using a rifle and the bullets will be normal, after getting whacked, Patrick picks up the dead henchman's rifle and magically the rifle turned into a grenade launcher as the bullets were exploding! I therefore rationalized that Patrick had magical powers and fired magic bullets! Fun film, loved the carnage, and cheesiness! 7 of 10. BTW, Patrick's magical powers only work on rifles not pistols, lol enjoy.
