I also caught The Hit List (with Cole Hauser) and Ticking Lock (with Neal McDonough). Hit List was actually really good, action was good quality. Ticking Clock had the same director as Hardwired and it showed. Recommend both of them though, just for the sake of Cuba Gooding Jr.Wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372476754930580329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-71513524849288690082011-05-13T19:31:01.211-04:002011-05-13T19:31:01.211-04:00If Ving Rhames isn't there yet, he's at le...If Ving Rhames isn't there yet, he's at least booking a room online. And Cuba's head does look a bit large on the cover. I think it's the angle, makes it so we can't exactly see where his neck ends and his head begins. He actually looks pretty fit (the American "fit", not the British) in the film, so that enormous head isn't indicative of its actual size.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-45468227478664672892011-05-13T19:28:23.315-04:002011-05-13T19:28:23.315-04:00Yes, your comment and Lee's.

Gooding Jr. was decent in Linewatch. <br /><br />Love the DTV hotel bit.

BTW there's another Cuba film that recently came out called "Ticking Clock" it's a serial-killer thriller that also stars Neal Mcdonough. AND he has ANOTHER film coming out next month(or this month) called "The Hit List" which also stars Cole Hauser, Wings Hauser's son! I'd also recommend you check out the DTV films Cuba did before his drop-off period - "In The Shadows"(wih Matthew Modine and James Caan) and "A Murder Of Crows"(with Tom Berenger, Eric Stoltz and Ashley Laurence)<br /><br />P.S. funny you should mention Lundgren, because he's going to be starring alongside Cuba in his next film "One In The Chamber" Now that I HAVE to see!venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632381738581803935noreply@blogger.com
