Dead Connection Audience Reviews

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
a_chinn Lame low budget thriller cashes in on the notoriety Michael Madsen earned from his performance as Mr. Blond in "Reservoir Dogs" and cast him in a rare heroic role (although casting him as the kind stepdad in "Free Willy" was even more far astray). Madsen plays a detective trying to track down a serial killer and also falls for Bill Cosby's TV daughter, Lisa Bonet., who as you might have guessed becomes a target of the killer It's all pretty boring and feels more like an old USA channel made-for-TV movie (back when USA only made "Silk Stockings" and Baywatch ripoffs featuring bicycle pants-wearing beach cops). On the plus side, Parker Posey has a small supporting role, but there's really no reason to recommend this film. FUN FACT! This film was an early score by composer Rolfe Kent, before he went on to more respectable of films like "Election," "Up in the Air," and "Sideways."
drjgardner Who doesn't like Michael Madsen? Surely he is this generations' Robert Mitchum. His breakout role in "Reservoir Dogs" was followed by "The Getaway", "Wyatt Earp", "Species", "Frankie the Fly", etc. and then the two "Kill Bill" films. He's one of Hollywood's busiest actors and even in this terrible film he's worth watching. So what can go wrong when he plays a detective in this film?Lisa Bonet plays a reporter and she does a good job too. Bonet was the oldest child of the Huxtables and went on to be a serious actress in films like "Angel Heart" and "High Fidelity" and TV series "Life on Mars" and "Ray Donovan".Cheap production values and a poor script make this film almost unwatchable, but Madsen and Bonet do some decent work.
gridoon If you share my opinion that Michael Madsen is just about the epitome of "cool", and that he can be interesting to watch even when HE isn't very interested in a project, then you have at least one good reason to sit through this watchable but predictable and formulaic thriller (he also has a nice, easy chemistry with co-star Lisa Bonet). The film doesn't become actively bad until the ridiculous turn of events that leads to the climax. (**)
Tri-Turbo The last minutes of "Dead Connection" would make us laugh to death (not the ultimate aim for a cop movie), if they did not make us feel so sick. In the final moments the hero, Matt (Michael Madsen), fights a former Marine´s boxing champion who beats him easily and savagely. But as usual, a divine healing restores his power and allows Matt to strike back just enough for his recent female companion (also classic) to shoot his opponent. And guess what, Matt´s face does not show the slightest trace of a punch (Oh! He does have a tiny cut over his eye!).The whole situation is so ridiculous that it makes us forget that the rest is not bad. Nothing fancy, but O.K., specially thanks to a very good performance from Madsen.
