Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Hollywood_Hagen This movie is just incredibly bad. It's not even "nice mindless action".Horrible action scenes, no matter if it is clumsy fourth grader wrestling style looking hand to hand combat or slow, plodding gun fights.I didn't expect this to be a well written story or anything, but I have never felt so much disdain for the "heroes".The dialogues are scandalously dumb.Without giving away too much of the movie: There are NUMEROUS scenes where the heroes act DOWNRIGHT stupid and incompetent, plus quite often they run away like scared little girls when having an advantage in numbers during the "fights". Anyone who will find him-/herself rooting for the "good guys" must have the patience and love for good only a buddhist monk can have, because the script and the acting aren't helpful in any way to feel for those guys.The subplot gives you a mentally disabled daughter of the hero whose role is downright offending AND annoying it made me BEG she would get killed or something like that.If you still want to watch this: 1. Make sure you have a soft spot for bad movies 2. Make sure you like to comment a lot during bad movies 3. Make sure you have people with you who fulfill 1 and 2.Worked for me to a degree. But don't even try watching & analizing this in serious fashion, it is THAT bad.

Team_Rocket From the moment you hear that first gunshot, you feel an air of cheesy action crapfest ahead of you. Then you hear that second gunshot, then another, and another...And another....And yet another. They should have called this shoot people the movie. Pretty much the entire film centers around shooting guns nonstop and killing everything in sight. The one time the films stars aren't shooting their guns, is when they're polishing them...And the one time they're not killing people with their nicely polished guns is when they're having target practice. Yes, you read that right. You get to actually watch the low grade b movie action stars target practice. You get to watch all kinds of guns being fired too, not just machine guns, but 9mm handguns too. One of the b movie stars even pays homage to Chow Yun Fat with his duel wielding 9mm's style of shooting people.Now don't get me wrong, when I say these guys shoot people, they don't just wing them or nick them...They fu**ing kill them...Dead mind you, deader than 4 o'clock. I don't think I saw even one person recover from the shooting they got. I saw guys taking shots in the head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. And at one point I saw a man get shot in the a**, either that or he had two a**holes. That reminds me, the actors in this film were like a collective of a**holes. Or, the big stink as I like to call them. They were very wooden, almost totem-like. They somehow made their way from scene to scene, and shot people. I could imagine the director carrying each actor from scene to scene and posing them for each shot given the woodocitificationess of the actors in question.I didn't hate this film, and for the price of $1.00 I would have to say it was worth it. It was worth a dollar just to see the heavy machine gunner do a Rambo yell while he slaughtered dozens of mindless villains. I couldn't stop laughing during that part of the film either. Going into Ancient Warriors thinking it would suck made sitting through it much easier as well. All in all, I'd give this film a 2. Just because it's so over the top with gunplay and sets a new standard for bgrade action films, plus there's a Baldwin brother in it, so hey...I'd give it the extra point for that alone. For bad movie lovers only, all others please avoid this at all costs. Even at a dollar.

mflores-7 I'm agree with anubis76. I didn't know who was Columbo until I search the web so initially i guessed that the producer may be walking in the streets of Rome and star calling people to appear in the film. The acting was poor, the effects and the script were awful. First, they never get injured, the killed don't bleed and the title has nothing to do with the movie. The so called "Ancient Warriors" appear about 5 minutes in the whole movie and looked like they were being display to the stone wall. Somethings may stay only in the writers head. I guess from now on the actors will take this movie like the weird uncle who lives in the attic, that you don't want anybody see or meet. So MY ADVICE is, if you're planning on rent this movie, is cheaper to see the static on the TV and even funnier.

anubis76 This is probably one of the most pathetic action flicks I've seen. I rarely hit fast forward even on the most sorry acting endeavors, but this just brought tears to my eyes. Columbo should never do another film, his pouty face and supposed sadness over the death of his father is a hilarious "gem" to watch. I've seen high school plays with more drama than this. Baldwin, at least seems to be laughing at himself in his role which makes it easier to see him as the lothario that his family is famed for. Let's see what else, plot....um yeah....don't even bother listening it will save you from having to make up alternate scenarios in your head. I mean who wrote this script!! I'm angry at even having rented and spent time watching it. The ancient warriors were wholly unnecessary and take up literally about 8 minutes of the entire movie. It's not scary, not thrilling and I found myself wanting to grab a pistol to shoot my screen to get the violence moving. You have been warned!!
