In Michael Madsen's first scene talking to a Hitman, he has a Cigar and you see it change from long then to short in his mouth, and when he puts it back in the ashtray it is longer again.
I'm also kinda surprised with the couple of five star reviews ... they truly have not judged this on peer movies that it apes or aspires towards.
It started off really slow. I was debating on weather i should take it off or not.
Where to begin, there were so many problems with this movie.The written dialogue was often weak filler and the delivery was frequently unnatural.
Road of No Return is notable more than anything else for having signs of a great cast despite a pathetically awful script. The movie poster has some promise, with Michael Madsen and David Carradine posing opposite each other in a picture that seems to promise a gritty and powerful action drama, but such is not to be the case.
This movie is terrible, the negative reviews are spot on. Unbelievable characters and a stupid story.
I saw a reasonable review for this movie and this combined with two well known actors persuaded me to give it a chance. Bad mistake, the characters were paper thin, the action was boring and badly executed, and the plot/script was very weak.
"Road Of No Return" was one of the last movies David Carradine made before his death. Curious about if he was still able to give an entertaining performance at this time like his past performances was one reason why I rented it.
I liked this film not b/c it had spectacular action sequences but b/c it was a thinking man's action film, it had heart, it had characters that had a past and had something to say. You don't usually see that with Hollywood films in particular action films.
First off, the characters in this movie made me laugh. A black guy that holds his gun sideways and somewhat dresses like shaft, a redneck Nazi from NJ (huh?!
