Ricochet was in my watchlist for YEARS only to be watched today. How impressive were DW & John Lithgow here... There's always something comfy about the 90s cinema. The climax was a little overdramatic but apart from that, they did a splendid job overall. Man, Denzel is so good! *Oct 7, 2023*
I must've seen this movie at least a dozen times or more in my lifetime. When it first came out, I saw it every Saturday after class for about 6 weeks.....straight! 😂
A really brilliant film. It deserved a sequel, as for John Lithgow with that performance. He would've made a brilliant villain in one of the Highlander sequels. Highlander director Russell Malcalhy.
@@ChAn-dv9toI think that maybe rappers Moneybagg Yo or J. Cole should play Odessa based on Ice-T for the Ricochet reboot with Michael B Jordan/Bill Skarsgard with Candyman/WandaVison superstar Teyoah Parris playing Alice Styles based on Victoria Dillard but a reboot with Michael B Jordan/Bill Skarsgard would be fucking BADASS. WB/HBO max should make it happen.
@ChAn-dv9to Virtuosity reboot with Michael B. Jordan/Gerald Butler based on the cult classic 1995 action/sci/fi movie that started academy award winning superstar Denzel Washington. Michael B. Jordan would play L.t Parker Barnes based on Denzel Washington and Gerald Butler would play SID 6.7 based on Russell Crowe but a Virtuosity reboot with Michael B. Jordan/Gerald Butler would be fucking awesome Paramount should make it happen.
This film was suggested to me by word of mouth/ a good friend years ago, and already liking the two main actors, well I didn't need much convincing. Denzel Washington I've liked for years, even his lesser known ones. In this he didn't disappoint me either. When John Lithgow plays a villainous character, he's usually pretty menacing: his facial features and that voice - and I've seen my share of those characters by him) Come to think of it, vocalizing Lord Farquad in Shrek he was more goofy than scary, I did like his first entrance in that though. He's just as convincing with his good guy roles too. Good remastering of the trailer btw.
Interestingly, this movie features a written reference to 11 September (in one of the news items) and the destruction of a structure called The Twin Towers. So it predicts the 9/11 attacks 10 years before they occurred!
Man look here Denzel was fine ass hell in this movie I love the locker room scene 😋😜😜 I was trying to see what was below the waste lmao 😅😂 but he moved to fast behind that locker 😂😂😂😋😜 my number ONE all time favorite actor cant nobody out act Denzel baby period 😋😋😜😜
I just found the original DVD release of this in a thrift store and the picture quality blows. It says widescreen on the cover but it is a widescreen image scaled to a 4:3 aspect ratio so there are huge black bars are on all four sides of the picture. It is grainy and dark. As for the film, how can yo miss completely in the 90s with Denzel , Ice T, Victoria Dillard (with her fine ass), Lindsay Wagner (also fine) and even the great John Amos (James Evans from Good Times) making a brief appearance as the preacher. John Lithgow gave his usual over the top psycho bad guy performance - even less believable than his performance in Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone.
@miltontavares9506 I wonder who should play Odessa based on Ice-T I think that rappers Moneybagg Yo or J. Cole would be a great choice to play Odessa but thanks for that a Ricochet reboot with Michael B Jordan/Bill Skargard would be fucking awesome.
