In the mystifying opening sequence of BALLISTIC: ECKS VS. SEVER, a double kidnapping takes place on a rainy night in Vancouver with a minimal amount of wasted time and a maximum amount of violence. A little boy is picked up at the airport by his mother (Talisa Soto), whose car is stopped minutes later by thugs who steal the boy and say they're taking him to his father. Rounding the corner, the thugs see a car explode in front of them, and a dump truck smashes into a wall of other cars, spraying fire. A hooded martial arts expert takes out the thugs with some impressive kicks and swirls, then grabs the boy and leaves. Secret agent Sever (Lucy Liu) is the kidnapper here, an angry, heavily armed nut who literally goes ballistic for unknown reasons. Using automatic weapons and other highly explosive artillery, she annihilates at least a hundred policeman in the next scene, outside a shopping mall. A retired secret agent, Ecks (Antonio Banderas), is the only man who can stop her, and when he does--temporarily--the two join forces against the real culprit, Robert Gant (Gregg Henry). Gant has crafted a dangerous assassination weapon that triggers death at the push of a button once it is injected into its victim's bloodstream. And that weapon is living inside the little boy. To save him, and stop the weapon from being used again, Ecks and Sever must get Gant. BALLISTIC: ECKS VS. SEVER is a super-violent nonstop action extravaganza with a high-octane musical score by Don Davis. It is directed by Kaos.

Watching Lucy Liu is always enjoyable. But you wont be extremely excited at the end.
Watching Lucy Liu is always enjoyable. However the movie is not good enough as its cast. It has some good action scenes and Banderas make a decent appearance. I... read more »

Why do middle names sound so much grander in Spanish? Joe Anthony Bands doesn’t sound like a movie star to me, but Jose Antonio Dominguez Banderas? You can see where he gets that Puss in Boots swagger. Born in Malaga just over 51 years ago, Banderas was brought up in a conservative household. His father was in Franco’s Civil Guard, his mother was a schoolteacher. Both were practicing Catholics. Antonio rebelled and joined a theatre company as a teenager (apparently he was inspired...
