Okay, ignoring the obvious fact that Pyun made this... "film"... out of the scum that stuck to his shoes after walking through the cutting rooms of 3 or 4 other really crappy movies - all involving... cityscapes and leather, I'd guess... Where was I... Oh yeah. And leaving aside the question of whether any of these actors has every really been good (I love them all, you understand, but I also "like" Starbucks coffee when Kona isn't available - ie all the time except payday)... Um, I feel that what sums this hunk of celery up is that the bad guys "hide" a huge bomb on the roof of the San Francisco city hall, and then have a bunch of henchboobs "guard" it so's Hopper and Pressly can get out of range.
Now, let's recognize that city halls don't tower over every other building in any city on earth (this is reserved for the buildings of banks, insurance companies and general commercial piracy outfits). Which means authorities would be able to see the spear carriers guarding the bomb and act accordingly. This you could see in any bad movie. Perhaps not in the light of the feeling that some of the guards might wonder who would be guarding the bomb while it was their turn to get out of range, though. And how, really, do you sneak a bomb the size of an elephant onto the roof of a city hall. Even pre 9/11 my imagination failed.
But here's where I had to look under the bottom of the disc's case to see if somehow, something had fallen out of it. Can I really believe Ice-T would play a man stupid enough to attempt to take this roof by force? No ladies and gents, a bad movie can be the most fun you'll ever have with your clothes on, but this Ticker goes too far, crosses a line (trips over it actually), and stumbled into chaos. It was like having Korean subtitles on under a Cantonese audio track on a Mime film of about Ladan as told by Swedish Esperantists.
And if you're high enough to actually enjoy such a thing I'd suggest something in a medium budget Godzilla, instead.

'Ticker'...oh where to begin?
Usually I write pretty in-depth reviews about Lord Steven's films but with 'Ticker' I'm not even going to bother. Here's the only way that I can explain this film: take the laziest and most ineptly made film you've ever seen, take a dump on it, then throw it against a wall, and then wipe yourself with it. That is 'Ticker'.
Lord Steven is nothing but supporting cast as a hippie bomb squad leader. Tom Sizemore apparently took some time off from rehab or jail or wherever he was supposed to be to play the burnout cop. Some various annoying rappers show up and are all killed off in a matter of seconds. Dennis Hopper rolled out of bed to obviously just get an easy paycheck to play a mad bomber with no real agenda and throws in a constantly disappearing/reappearing terrible Irish accent just for kicks. The director(Albert Pyun, auteur of other direct-to-video hunks of crap)must have been trying to one up crapmaster Uwe Boll for complete disregard for filmmaking. Oh, and there must have been a sale of black leather jackets somewhere because every single character in this film wears one. Every single person. Even extras sport them.
'Ticker' is, by approximately five thousand times, the worst film Lord Steven has ever been in. And that is saying something if you have seen other Seagal flicks such as 'Today You Die' or 'Out Of Reach'.
Pure, unadulterated fecal matter. I'd rather burn my privates with cigarettes than watch this stinker again.

During the 90s, actor Tom Sizemore said that action star Steven Seagal had set acting back 200 years, and he would never work with him. This film stars Tom Sizemore and Steven Seagal. 5 Stars.

First off I'm a big Steven Seagal fan, but not only is this Steven Seagal's worst movie todate, it's also one of the worst movies I had to sit and watch in the vein hope that it would get better. I bought it, sat down and watched it that evening and then put it directly into the bin. This for me is in the same league as Van Damme's terrible Derailed. How could Seagal allow himself not only to get involved in something like this but even allow his name to be exploited in supporting such rubbish especially after the excellent Exit Wounds. I like both Tom Sizemore and Dennis Hopper but they were even bad in this. Dennis Hopper replays his part from Speed only with a very bad Irish accent. What little martial arts scenes there are involving Seagal could actually be anyone. The lighting is so low that it is impossible to tell who is actually involved in the martial arts scenes. It could very well be two standin stunt actors. I also noticed that Seagal kept doing that strange motion with his lips all the way through the movie as if he had a bad case of gas and was letting a few off. It also becomes annoying throughout the movie when at times you see Seagal on screen but we don't get to see him say his lines. They seem to be done in voice over when the camera is on another actor. The same thing is also evident at the beginning of Out For A Kill. The only positive advice I can give is before you go ahead and buy this make sure you rent it first and then decide, as I wish I had done.

This movie start out great with a hostage situation that went amuck. After that, the movie got bad in such a way that there is no point in return. Steven Seagal and Tom Sizemore are suppose to be the stars but i got to watch NAS ya know. Okay, now NAS...don't quit your dayjob cuz you can't act. Seagal can't act either but he knows martial arts and that is good enough in the Hollywood Biz. Tom was great in Black Hawk Down and he does a good job yet the movie was so badly script that you can't tell. The leading lady in this picture is no other than Jaime P and boy is she bonita!!! This movie she is still bonita but the problem is no one has a clue why she is doing in this movie. I guess to sell the movie.
I say this is the worst action movie i have seen in a long while and i can't recommend it unless you a big Steven or Tom fan. NAS stint is too short to even notice he was there other than his bad acting. The Director should be put into the hall of bad movie sham.
Rent it if you want to see how NOT to make a movie.
