From the moment Marcus is at the hospital stairs firing at an "Asian" assassin with a borrowed hand gun, till he is caught by the lady assassin, he managed to fire at least 60+ bullets !! What pure BS prop is that all about !
The rest of the film was more of the same unrealistic BS from a novice director and produced by no less than 19 people all relying on the Snipe's name !! Don't waste your time on this cr*p please ....

I guess he needs to make some money so he has to crawl with some low quality stuff. While the acting is mostly really bad, the part that makes this movie truly awful is the "story" and I use that term loosely. Some of it is funny like the handgun with the limitless supply of bullets.. some of it is insulting - thieves go into a bank to steal money but leaves SKIDS of it behind. They take the $100M carefully laid in the two suitcases (that fills three dufflebags) and leave the other pallets of money alone. By the way, $100M in $100 bills would take up a full pallet (one million 100$ bills) Wesley Snipes was great, the action scenes were good, the car chases were OK and much more realistic that the traditional cheese. His fight scenes (as usual) were fun to watch, but the utter stupidity of the script and story make this a true stinker.

Cons:
No gun is reloaded in the whole movie! They shoot about 100 bullets... it's almost like they are playing GTA with infinite ammo cheat!
Too much killing. For people that used to work for the CIA you'd think they would have a conscience. I'd have to say they shot every person they came into contact with! Only like 2 characters survive.
The main character... wow
You'd think that after someone innocent is shot he would show some kind of emotion? I count about 5 innocent people shot right beside him and he acts like nothing happened... i thought he was CIA??!?
The hand to hand combat scenes are corny and dumb. They speed up the motions making the characters move their hands at some ridiculously unrealistic speed.
The end fight scene... the main character just happens to run out of ammo? The first gun in the WHOLE movie to run out of ammo.
NO CLOSURE. The movie just ends basically. The main baddies are taken out except for a few? Do they really expect a sequel?
Effects imported from Windows Movie Maker?
MOST IMPORTANT: NOTHING ORIGINAL. Seen it before in 100 other wannabe famous action movies. The ONLY thing that makes a movie is originality. It's like in music: when someone makes a cover it is NEVER as popular or good as the original.
The list just keeps on going, however, I'll stop there before i bore you.
Summary:
If you're bored on a long school holiday and have seen every rental in the video store, maybe consider it. Don't expect anything special or original. Be prepared for over the top killing, swearing and emotionless characters. Finally, when the movie ends, Don't expect closure. To be honest, I've seen better movie talent on YouTube.

If anyone reads this just know i only got 30mins into this god awful movie before i fell asleep. no, i was not tired, it just bored me to tears is all! the ghostly camera work at the start is ugly. an opening sequence of city shots layered on top of each other? tony Scott did it better! slowing down and speeding up the film? tony Scott did it better! in fact this movie just steals from every other movie and has no originality. the creepy music is out of place and snipes looks bored and desperate for any acting job.in fact the whole cast is rubbish and cant act! why bother tell this story? its not worth telling..i have no idea why they bother

I really did not liked this movie and what i am going to say first is that i do not recommend it. I am really bored of the tipic movies of action where the protagonists fight versus 6542548734 guys and they kill everybody, the only times where this is acceptable is when the main character is a good actor or a "comedian" action actor like (at my opinion) Jason Staham or Vin Diesel, etc. But I really do not like Wesley Snipes, he is famous only because of Blade but he is not a good actor, he definitely can not express anything, and i have some little things to highlight about the movie: Some of the ideas and some of the scenes are a little interesting but not much more. It is really boring, i saw it with a friend and we both said it is very bad, so either you are a big fan of Wesley Snipes i do not recommend it. i give it a 3/10. Greetings. maxi0305

Even in this horrible movie you show that you got talent. Why do you lower yourself to work with people that seems to know nothing about making exciting movies? The editing is horrible and there is not real feeling in the action scenes either. guns that sound "pjuff pjuff" along with horrible editing is not a good way to go.
This one had an exciting idea of making an exciting movie but its all just washed away during the course of the movie.
The end fight is worth looking at though so for all that hasn't seen it fast forward to that one for some good old Wesley Snipes action! Otherwise its not much to look at here.
But again, this is not due to Snipes 'cause he seems to be doing the best he can making it exciting but with bad editing and directing overall - noting can save this movies face.

I've added this review for those who've watched it.
What the hell was the hospital scene? There are some guys killing and killing somebody and nobody gives a sh*t as if there wasn't only one security camera. Only one? Was not?
Everyone kills each other, OK, I brush it off, but the girl (Zoe Bell) is knocked out by a head and locked by the man in a bank vault. Then stands up and throw a knife or star -or something to the man. And, i gotta say, while all of these things happen, we can't see how the knife -or star- penetrates the close and tight bars. Over-fantastic...
Agent Marcus and Zander are boxing on the roof in a senseless way. The agent is smashing Zender's arms, legs... Then hit his throat and broke his neck. OK. Good. But after that, he loses. Yes, I said "he loses". He was on the roof of a towering bank, and he disappeared.
I must add that: In this movie, there isn't any reloading. The weapons are limitless. ABSOLUTELY!
I don't wanna make this boring. I cut off in here.
They will approve me those who know this movie, but those who haven't done yet:
Don't waste your time.
Ps: Zoe Bell is a bad actress. I can't stand her.

but i have to give the credit to the stunt and action scenes, including the fantastic defensive driving scenes that actually were nicely done. but the whole movie simply proceeded in an ridiculous way that i have to blame to the poor logic thinking of the director. how could it possible a hand gun kept firing over 30 or 40 times and didn't have to reload? how could it possible a so-called CIA female agent wore two big round earrings during a dangerous mission? besides, she acted so poorly to look like a convincing agent. snipes acted well and his fighting techs still looked so smooth and flawless. but this screenplay simply was just stupid, ridiculous and highly impossible even good fighting scenes would not salvage this poor crafted movie.

GAME OF DEATH (bad choice, choosing a title the same as the Bruce Lee movie, as well as making this sound like a tournament-style film, which is isn't) is one of the last movies Wesley Snipes made before being jailed for tax evasion, and it's one for the fans. Most people unaccustomed to B-movies will see it for what it is - a cheap, overly familiar star vehicle that's not much different from the kind of DTV trash Seagal films these days.
However, those who enjoy low budget action flicks may find a surprise or two in a film which turns out to be a lot better than expected, purely because it's serious, straight to the point, with a well-focused script and plenty of action. In essence, Snipes is part of a CIA team who turn renegade and forget to tell him about it, leaving him the only guy capable of taking down the bad guys.
GAME OF DEATH has plenty of action, and a lot of it is good. There's an extended hospital siege scenario (complete with homages to HARD BOILED) which takes place around the halfway mark, and this is the highlight, offering a series of frenetic one-on-one fights as Snipes tackles numerous henchmen, including DRUNKEN MASTER II's Ho-Sung Pak. The fights aren't the best the genre has to offer, but they're pretty intense and don't shy away from violence, which is always a good thing.
The rest of the storyline, taking place outside of the hospital, is less gripping, but the last third is still pretty good. It helps that Snipes is on top hard-ass form, refusing to back down and taking it to the villains throughout. The ever-underrated Gary Daniels is a nice choice as the chief baddie, and there are great supporting turns from familiar actors who have been away from our screens for too long, like Ernie Hudson and Robert Davi. Choreography is fairly good and the film zips along at a fine old pace. I liked it.
