Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is released in 2002 and is directed by Wych Kaosayananda. It starred big celebrities like Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu. Despite having big names, it did not pan well with the general audience. The movie follows the story of an FBI agent and a DIA agent who, despite being sworn enemies, ended up being partners to resolve a case. The two teamed up to end an evil mastermind who aimed to end the human race.
However, despite its aim to be an action-thriller movie, the film ended up being dubbed as boring, with endless shooting and a pointless plot that left the audience thinking about where did their money and time go. According to critics’consensus of Rotten Tomatoes, the movie lacks originality, style, and coherence. Its unfavorable reviews explain why the movie did not perform well at the box office. From its budget of $70 million, it only took home $20 million, making it a huge box-office flop. Producers of the movie probably were wiser with their investments after this movie.
