Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with 118 reviews, the film has a rare approval rating of 0% – meaning no positive reviews – receiving an average rating of 2.6/10.[8] As of 2020, among the films that hold, or have held, a 0% rating, Ballistic has the most reviews.[9] The website's critical consensus states: "A startlingly inept film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever offers overblown, wall-to-wall action without a hint of wit, coherence, style or originality".[10] In March 2007, Rotten Tomatoes ranked the film #1 on its "The Worst of the Worst" movie list,[11][12][13] noting it as "the worst-reviewed movie in our site's history".[14] The film also has a score of 19 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on reviews from 26 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".[15]

Roger Ebert gave the film half a star out of four, and later listed it on his most hated movies list. He said of the film: "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. There is nothing wrong with the title Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever that renaming it Ballistic would not have solved. Strange that they would choose such an ungainly title when, in fact, the movie is not about Ecks versus Sever but about Ecks and Sever working together against a common enemy – although Ecks, Sever and the audience take a long time to figure that out."[16]

Lucy Liu was nominated for the 2002 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards Worst Actress Award, but lost to Madonna for her performance in Swept Away.[17]

The Year My Voice Broke (1987) - pretty good movie. Rather weird title, though.
