I always for whatever reason skirted around this one. Basically Kind of an interesting combo of The Matrix and Highlander and...I dunno, Face/Off if they were both, like, John Travolta? Jet Li, Chinese dude. Action movie. With a proper dosing of bullet-fu, wire-fu, spark-fu, all the fus!
The intro lets us know right off the bat, there’s the multiverse. And each one has a different version of all of us. Unfortunately, there’s one koont out there trying to Highlander the shit out of it, so the Multiverse Cops get involved. Again. And apparently they kinda suck at their jobs, cuz the dude’s on victim number 123 or so. That’s...some bad TimeCoppin. Shit. I mean MultiverseCoppin. If Jean-Claude Van Damme were involved, pretty sure he coulda nipped this one in the bud by, like, #49 or so, tops. This one? Chumps and Rookie Jason Statham. Punk.
This is an okay action/sci-fi flick, plenty of good martial arts an shit. Minimal but nice subtle signs of the multiverse aspect. All the major players are better than Channing Tatum. Low bar, I know, but it was 2001 and there’s a lot of nu-metal involved so some slack was needed to be cut. I don’t exactly know why. I am not even a fan of nu-metal but I figure if that’s you’re thang, you probably need a little help now and again. But it works here as the soundtrack, it is fitting to the story somehow, with three photocopies cobbled together like a tarded ransom note to create a brand new entity!
