Ticker (2001)
10/10
A true masterpiece
17 November 2002
Ticker is a masterpiece, thats all that has to be said. People moan about the editing techniques used, poor acting performances and overall cheapness of this timeless classic but i couldn't disagree more. The actors were on top form, Hopper was especially pleasing with his accents. Seagal, well, what can be said about the master, that kick to car was the pinnacle of the movie, i mean who else would have thought of that, (Irish guy)'move the f****n car chief' (Seagal)'BOSH' , seagal kicks the car and knocks the Irish guy out. Classic, and what about Seagal at the end, the way he chops that guy with the knife, Genius. Lets not forget the scene with the broken watch where Sizemore fixes it without actually doing anything. The end scene with the bombs was particularly exciting with, what i now like to call, 'Seagal Time' where Seagal can slow down time and make 1 minute seem like an hour, in which he had time to give a nice little speech and teach Sizemore how to defuse a, excuse me, treat a device. Overall this movie excels and is one of the best ever, only slow minded people would say otherwise. The new style editing adds to the 'edge of the seat' nature of the film and all of the actors deserve oscars for their roles. In one word, Masterpiece.
