Arnold strikes back at the devil in the mystifying and
action-packed End of Days. This film follows the grand
list of previous stigmata-like motion pictures. Although
the extensive promotions and big-time look of the film,
the audience is left with a two-faced feeling at the
conclusion of the "goofy" plotted movie.
The basic story is of an ex-cop (Arnold) working at
a security - bodyguard firm and one day being called
to a job to protect a supposed Wall Street broker who
has actually been posesed by the devil. Eventually Arnold
ends up protecting his female co-star from the devil's
johnson. The reason for that is because she had been
chosen at birth to bare the devil's child. There is
however one little problem, she has to impregnanted
between 11:00 pm and mid-night of December 31, 1999.
If you enjoy the soul being scarred out of you every
five minute, then End of Days is the thing for you!
At every turn there is something jumping out and poping
in. You will be glued to the seat, which might be a
bit wet if you have a weak bladder.
The film's special effects that were supposedly proving
the might power of the devil were nothing out of the
ordinary and loop holes filled the scenes. For example,
the devil took a human's body that could not be hurt
by bullets. Yet the bullets were able to slow him down.
He's the devil, why would bullets that can't hurt him
slow him like the T1000 in Terminator 2.
Elbert did give this film an unfortunate thumb down.
Yet I leave it up to the audience because being a Schwarzenegger
fan myself, I overall enjoyed the film. One last thing
- Arnold, shave!
