First of all let me point out that I really love action movies. I justrecently spent time viewing several of Arnold's old movies, which areall classics! Take Commando - this is my definition of a great actionfilm: Extremely simple story, but completely packed with some seriousaction, with a bad-ass protagonist spitting out cheezy one-liners aftereach round of pawnage!

Game of Death fails as a movie in pretty much every way possible. Asimple "Arnold-like" action movie is what it SHOULD be. However, thepeople responsible for the film clearly thought that they had a story-line, actors, and camera-crew that would elevate this film to a"higher" level - whatever that is. Briefly summarized: The story anddialogue is a joke - some of the actors did such a poor job it almostmakes some of the scenes embarrassing to watch. The main evil femaleagent must be one of the worst performances of 2010 - not to mentionthat the director for some reason decided to make most of the poorlyacted dialogue scenes extremely long. So instead of filling the moviewith cool karate-style Wesley Snipes action, the movie is mostly wastedon the weak story and the terrible acting. Most of the action sceneswere even constantly interrupted by the bad guy having to shoot hismouth off - blah blah blah... What we WANT is pow pow pow!!!

By the way: The camera work and editing gave me a laugh. For somereason they have some sudden clips of black'n white shots - and someother artsy-fartsy filming which is COMPLETELY out of place.

I'll give this movie a 2/10 simply because I enjoy some of WesleySnipes unarmed action scenes. But for gods sake don't waste your timewatching this garbage like I did.

Finally a quick appeal to WS:

Dear Wesley,

Please fire your agent - or whoever persuaded you to participate inGame of Death. You are a cool guy and could renew your franchise offilms where you kick ass again. But make it SIMPLE. A 1:30 film shouldhave at least 60 minutes of action!!!

And remember to pay your taxes, Nebukanezer

PS: Wesley picks up a Glock 9mm (with silencer) from one of the badguys in the hospital. These guns typically have between 15 and 17rounds (full sized or compact versions). Without reloading the gun Ithink Wesley probably fired around 150 shots from this gun.

but i have to give the credit to the stunt and action scenes, includingthe fantastic defensive driving scenes that actually were nicely done.but the whole movie simply proceeded in an ridiculous way that i haveto blame to the poor logic thinking of the director. how could itpossible a hand gun kept firing over 30 or 40 times and didn't have toreload? how could it possible a so-called CIA female agent wore two biground earrings during a dangerous mission? besides, she acted so poorlyto look like a convincing agent. snipes acted well and his fightingtechs still looked so smooth and flawless. but this screenplay simplywas just stupid, ridiculous and highly impossible even good fightingscenes would not salvage this poor crafted movie.

I don't understand why people vote this movie so down, because its notas bad as a lot of other Snipes movies of the past and there werecertainly a lot. Who likes a halfway decent story is right here, whowants to watch 08/15 action movies, is also right here, just the oneswho do not like Snipes because of his tax-problems should not watchthis movie and certainly not vote it down, maybe even without seeingit.

The most annoying thing of the movie is the lead female part, sometimesreally badly annoying because so predictable and as well the pseudo-hard rock music. Nevertheless to me personally its the best movieSnipes did in the past 5-6years! And so a good 6 on the "richterscale"... ;)

This movie is played out thru and as a sort of "confession" to apriest. So the story is not told in REAL time; but AFTER the fact;sitting in a church with a priest.

CIA agent Marcus Jones is given the assignment of infiltrating theorganization of arms dealer, Frank Smith, and thru him get to thepresident or head of a hedge fund operation based in Detroit; man namedRedvale, who smith is working with. The CIA wants them both dead. Itseems that Redvale Corp. has oil interests some place in Africa but thepolicies of the local government there is somehow cramping their styleor interfering with the conduct of their business. This is where FrankSmith comes in: Revdale is financing Smith to arm rebels opposed to thegovernment.

Immediately after Marcus is given his assignment, the movie cuts to--and begins-- at a point where he has already infiltrated FrankSmith's operation and is now working for him as security or a personalbodyguard. They are in a plane together at this point on their way tothe Revdale Corp. to see Revdale and collect Smith's share of moneyfrom some transaction or deal in Africa. The plane lands and theytransfer to a black SUV with cool musical accompaniment (Don't you wishthis would happen every time YOU stepped off a plane or headed for yourcar?). At the same time, Marcus's CIA team is getting ready to move in;orders are given by their head of operations flying in a chopperoverhead, that no action should be take until Smith picks up his loot.

The action begins when "others" I'm calling them (an important plottwist already spoiled for you by the IMDb synopsis) decide to interferewith the CIA operation so that they can get their greedy paws on allthe loot that Smith is about to collect. At the same time, in the backseat of the SUV, Smith is starting to feel hot and bothered; complainsabout the heat; shortly thereafter he is having a major heart attackand has to be taken to a hospital. But the "others", unaware of this,are shooting at the car to get it to stop. They want Smith captured sothat they can use him to get into Revdale Corp. and collect his money.A chase leads to a hospital where most of the action takes place as the"others" hunt Marcus and look to kidnap the badly ailing Smith.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie (low expectations, I guess).Turns out this is a good action film. Snipes played his characterMarcus in a sober, detached sort of way; like a man who has no otherlife or friend but his job and whose longest conversations take placewithin. So he's serious; has no "attitude" and cracks no jokes. Noteven a "forced" smile for the nurse who was looking after him and whowas clearly flirting (Down fellas, not the nurse of your fantasies).For example, after some comment she made about always wanting to date abodyguard, he looked at her as if he had no idea what she was going onabout; as if human chit chat or conversion was something he wasunfamiliar with. So this guy is busy; unless you have something to dowith his mission or the job at hand, you exist to him onlyperipherally.

The movie utilizes the "hunter-and-prey-in-a-confined-area" (ahospital) scenario. And though hardly original, it is a favorite ofmany people --if done well-- and I thought it was done well here. So itwas entertaining to watch hunter and prey navigate the rooms and floorsof the hospital; the former trying to kill or capture and the lattertrying to survive and get away. I found the fight scenes effective;smart and satisfying; demonstrating that breaking someone's neck is notthe snap you might have thought it was (sorry; couldn't resist).Finally, just to give you some perspective: This movie, while nothaving all the money, star-power, and fire-power of say, "TheExpendables", is still hands-down the better made action film.Demonstrating once again that "less" is often "more" and "more" isoften "less". Love, Boloxxxi.

I've added this review for those who've watched it.

What the hell was the hospital scene? There are some guys killing andkilling somebody and nobody gives a sh*t as if there wasn't only onesecurity camera. Only one? Was not?

Everyone kills each other, OK, I brush it off, but the girl (Zoe Bell)is knocked out by a head and locked by the man in a bank vault. Thenstands up and throw a knife or star -or something to the man. And, igotta say, while all of these things happen, we can't see how the knife-or star- penetrates the close and tight bars. Over-fantastic...

Agent Marcus and Zander are boxing on the roof in a senseless way. Theagent is smashing Zender's arms, legs... Then hit his throat and brokehis neck. OK. Good. But after that, he loses. Yes, I said "he loses".He was on the roof of a towering bank, and he disappeared.

I must add that: In this movie, there isn't any reloading. The weaponsare limitless. ABSOLUTELY!

I don't wanna make this boring. I cut off in here.

They will approve me those who know this movie, but those who haven'tdone yet:

- Don't waste your time.

Ps: Zoe Bell is a bad actress. I can't stand her.
