I have seen the 1996 action thriller "Sabotage" once before, but have to admit that the movie was entirely erased from my memory. So as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it again here in 2022, of course I did so.
The storyline in "Sabotage", as written by writers Rick Filon and Michael Stokes, was a pretty straight forward, albeit a somewhat generic storyline. Sure, "Sabotage" made for a watchable enough movie, however, it just wasn't a particularly outstanding action thriller. I will say that there were aspects of the storyline that were better than others. But the overall picture was a somewhat bland one.
The acting performances in "Sabotage" were fairly okay. I did sit down to watch "Sabotage" given the fact that the movie was starring Mark Dacascos. I had entirely forgotten that the movie also had the likes of Carrie-Anne Moss, Tony Todd, Graham Greene and John Neville on the cast list. So you actually do have a good selection of talents on the screen.
There is a good amount of action throughout the course of the 99 minutes that the movie runs for. And thankfully so, because the action does help to keep the movie afloat and staying above waters, whereas it would otherwise have been drowning from a mediocre script.
All in all, then "Sabotage" is a watchable movie, though you're not in for a particularly memorable movie experience here.
My rating of "Sabotage", from director Tibor Takács, lands on a bland five out of ten stars.
