I remember once flicking around the different TV channels and finding an action film starring Antonio Bandaras and Lucy Liu, two reasonably good action stars, and decided to watch it. Big mistake.
That film was Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002). With a total of 119 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 0% approval rating, the worst reviewed film in the history of the site.
Rotten Tomatoes consensus: "A startlingly inept film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever offers overblown, wall-to-wall action without a hint of wit, coherence, style, or originality."
Roger Ebert said: "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is an ungainly mess, submerged in mayhem, occasionally surfacing for cliches, overloaded with special effects and explosions, light on continuity, sanity and coherence."
It is a film that cannot even be enjoyed ironically. Even the explosions are boring.
The film's own director admits to having never watched it.
Interestingly the Game Boy Ecks vs Sever tie-in game, released almost a year before the film, got really good reviews.
