Given A Choice Between Learning Ikebana And Martial Arts...
5 July 2001
Johnny chose the part of his cultural heritage that would land him in this goofball fun action film. I have to agree with the commentator who said people don't seem to just have fun with movies. This carries all the social and artistic weight of guano, but it's entertainment first and foremost. Sure, entertainment can be art as well, but it's not a necessary requirement. Showdown is a quick, silly little film that goes more for the giggles than anything else. I mean, come on--Dolph Lundgren donning a stereotypical Japanese headband and spouting Zen quips was supposed to be serious? If you're looking for Crouching Tiger in this film, you will be profoundly disappointed. If light fare is your thing, you might want to check this one out.
