Comeuppance Reviews "The Dark Heart Of The Black Ops Beats To A Secret Agenda..." "Sabotage" is a fantastic action movie. The plot: Michael Bishop (Dacascos) is an ex-army commando, who after almost getting killed, is asked to become a bodyguard for an arms dealer. After a routine pick-up at the airport, the dealer is killed by Sherwood(Todd), an assassin for the government. Bishop is blamed and he's on the run.The plot description doesn't do it justice. This movie is an action-packed thrill ride. This is one the first movies to use the "bullet time" effects. This was made three years before the "The Matrix". The whole cast does a great job. The standout is Tony Todd as Sherwood. He's so evil, you just want to kill him every time he's on screen. This is one of Dacascos' best movies. ("Drive" is another Direct-To-Video Classic).There is a lot of energy and thought put into the action sequences. The ice rink fight and the climax are just so cool."Sabotage" is highly recommended!

gfasmer The first time I saw this movie I thought it was pretty good. Good acting, a lot of action through the hole movie, but it was a bit confusing. It is about NAVY Seal, in a mission he gets shot by a man called Sherwood. He cant continue in the army, so he gets a job in a bodyguard company. one day his client gets shot by a man, and after a while he understand that it was Sherwood that shot his client. Later in the movie it begins to be hard to understans who's on his side, and he see that some of his closest friends are behind this big conspiracy. He gets to know a female FBI agent, and together they find out more, and that it was some FBI agents in the conspiracy too. They take the female FBI agents daughter, and at the end they kill em all. And in the middel of all this, they are after the bodyguard, because they want to arrest him. Beside all the confusing stuff it was good, with a lot of action. Not a movie that you have to see.
magilvilla This is a very good movie. Good story, excellent action sequences. Tony Todd makes an awsome villian. Mark Dacascos is good as usual. Don't expect anything like DRIVE though. Mark has just one short fight scene. But that doesn't matter because this isn't a kung fu movie. It's a thriller, and a damn good one at that!
Galand In my opinion, this film is a hidden gem. Although some may find the plot line a trifle tortuous, this is more than compensated for by the film's realistic feel and likeable cast.As the film is not effects-heavy (thanks to a lower than blockbuster budget) attention has instead been paid to creating a believable environment rather than a showy one. The film appears to have the benefit of a good military advisor - firearms & combat sequences are particularly well executed and accurately represented.Directional cues are used to good effect to allow us to follow the hero's train of thought in pivotal situations, and I was particularly pleased not to see the usual overindulgent "victim setup" sequences which tend to plague many films in this genre.Neither is this a film which plays down to the audience by stating and restating the obvious; it's refreshing to watch a film which actually credits the viewer with some degree of independent thought!Although "Sabotage" definitely inclines more towards Len Deighton than Ian Fleming, Mark Dacascos makes a very credible leading man, with his character having just enough background development to lend credibility to his actions, rather than swamping us with "flawed hero" cliches.This film was obviously never going to break any box office records, but it does show very clearly that you can still have a good film without resorting to the visual overkill of big budget effects.
