If "Until Death" was VD's masterpiece, TS is lurking the opposite side of the spectrum. There's something surreal about how it's just a nonsensical or inconsistent succession of scenes played by a phony cast...
From the 15 minutes you're wondering what you're watching and why you're watching it. It looks cheap, for a $12 million flick, and gloomy Bulgaria for New Mexico is a joke. The dialog is just filling up blanks. So it fails in both action (pace), and drama. Even the composer, who did such a great score for UD, sounds bored and uninspired. It's a real shame so many things and talents waisted... compared to DD I'm not sure which holds up better...
MM had its flaws but at least it was trying something...
