1/5 Haven't I Seen This Film Before?
  by Brian E. Erland (Brea, CA - USA)
Suggestion. Instead of buying or renting 'The Detonator' from '06 why not watch Wesley's earlier '00 film 'The Art of War' instead. Why you ask? Why because it's virtually the same movie that's why. Oh there are a few differences, Wesley Snipes is now a C.I.A. agent instead of a U.N. agent, he's in Poland instead of New York and the beautiful woman he's protecting this time is Russian instead of Chinese. Other than that it's EXACTLY THE SAME! 'Detonator' Director Po-Chih Leong even had the nerve to copy the supposedly surprise ending used by Christian Duguay in 'The Art of War.'

Positives: Silvia Colloca adds some feminine charm to an otherwise dreary film and Matthew Leitch is excellent as tough guy Dimitri.

'The Art of War' is a very good movie, 'The Detonator' isn't. Trust me on this one.

1/5 AS EXPLOSIVE AS THE SNEEZE OF A SQUIRREL

When I was watching this movie, I found myself going through a mental list of what I needed to do the next day, what we were going to have for breakfast the next morning and hoping this movie would end soon. Wesley Snipes is about exciting as watching the rinse cycle on a washing machine, the plot is so convoluted and incoherent, and the action sequences look like they came out of a movie catalogue. Ho hum, indeed.

4/5 Cheap, mindless entertainment.
  by Lucas Moore (Saint Charles, Missouri United States)
I enjoy cheap, bad action movies. I found this one in a $5 discount bin while shopping for groceries; If you know what you're getting, it's worth every penny of $5. The movie is unoriginal, cliched, and utterly absurd. At the same time, it has some fun chase sequences, fight sequences, and is surprisingly well acted, given the recycled-from-every-action-movie script. It was fun to watch, if you went into it expecting the sort of thing you'd find in a discount bin. Also, the movie was filmed on location in Romania, and is pretty visually interesting for it.

1/5 Don't buy this movie
  by Alan A. Cummings (Port Angeles, WA)
Do not, do not purchase this movie. It is so strange and the plot is so screwed up that I turned it off after 15 minutes as I didn't know what was going on. If this is what to come of Wesley Snipes I'd give up on purchasing any future movies made by him unless you wan't to be disappointed. The same thing happened to Steven Segal. His first few movies were great, but as he got older, they went down the tubes. Just needless violence and profanity. Once again, unless you want to waste your money, don't purchase this movie.

5/5 The Detonator
