The Vault

Pulling all my punches would still brutalize this film to no end. The mere breath of common sense causes this film to topple, whimper, and crumble to dust.

This film lacks nearly every quality a decent movie requires. Scene transition, dialogue, music, chemistry, convincing actors and characters, a budget.

This movie cost a mere $100k to make, which would be fine, I love independents and low budget films - if they have any redeeming qualities, but The Vault does not.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes had more convincing character development and dialogue, and I do mean the tomatoes. I just hope the filmmakers can come up with a better script because this formulaic an d amateur film lacked in so many areas. I truly felt my IQ lowering the longer I watched it.

Let me start by saying this is a really, really bad movie. How bad you might ask? Bad enough that the only positive reviews the films got were from the stunt coordinator - and his team. Come on guys you can't go on about how great your movie is while pretending to by just some unbiased fans - that's absolutely pathetic. One of them even had the nerve to compliment the stunt team and say he can't wait to see what they do next - wow! Who's going to write the next rave reviews, the director or producer, or is it going to be left to the caterer staff and grip departments to save the day. Kind of makes you wonder about any future positive reviews doesn't it.

CORRECTION - SINCE WRITING THIS REVIEW MOST OF THE CREW PULLED THEIR "UNBIASED" REVIEWS/THE REMAINING ONES JUST CHANGED THEIR IMDb NAMES. ABOUT TIME GUYS!

All I've heard from the few defending crew and cast members is that the movie was low budget, shot for around a 100k. Come on that's not going to cut it. We've all seen much better films done for much less. Bas Rutten and Diana Inosanto - run for your live, these kind of films will be the death of your career. The producers and directors of this flick have a lot to own up for, all these crew members, and actors worked their collective tails off for this pile of garbage and for what - nothing, it was a huge waste of their time. This movie was an absolute joke -Terrible, EDITING, DIRECTING, WRITING AND YES IN MOST CASES ACTING. Everything these other negative / genuine reviewers have written is right on the mark - this movie is absolutely pathetic!!!!

Ouch! This movie is painful to watch. The SAG should require a warning on the movie box saying "This movie could be hazardous to your eyes". This is the retarded mans "Die Hard". The cast consist of two juice heads, a few nerds and a semi-hot stripper/actress. All of which can not act their way out of a wet paper bag. Salt is thrown into the wound by a special effects display that appears to be done by Corky with a $100 budget. And to top it all off, we don't even get any T&A shots from the chick:o( All the so called actors/actresses need to either go back to acting school or go back to waiting tables. As far as the movie production quality, I have seen better writing and production value in porno movies. I give this movie 2 thumbs and a soggy Oscar-Meyer hot-dog DOWN!

I thought this was a very good action piece the guys from triton north star have done it again. Bas Rutten makes a great bad guy, and as for Diana Lee Inosanto she can beat me with a police baton any day. All in all this was solid action movie with some well thought out action set pieces. And Paul Logan gives a solid performance. I thing a lot of these straight to video movies good take some lessons form these guys. And watching some of the extras it really seems like everyone had fun making this movie. I can't wait to see what these guys will make next each one of their productions they seem to raise the bar. Once again I think this movie was just a lot of fun and that is what it's all about.

I'm no snob when it comes to low-budget action films: just a few days ago, I watched "Blast!" (2004), a straight-to-video Die-Hard-On-An-Oil-Rig, and I liked it more than "Die Hard 4". But "The Vault" is just awful by any standards. Lousy, disorienting editing, pathetic "special effects", sloppy, illogical script, bloodless gunshots, and obscenely bad acting (Laci Szabo makes Jean Claude Van Damme look like Laurence Olivier) all contribute to making this possibly the worst action movie "inspired" by "Die Hard" ever - if there is a worse one out there, I don't want to see it. There is a half-decent fight between Szabo and Rutten at the end - if you have stuck with the movie for that long. Diana Lee Inosanto shows brief glimpses of fighting talent; Brynn Lucas (as the hero's daughter) is hot; I wouldn't mind seeing either of them again, in something better - which essentially means, in anything else.
