[info] OCOG s comment:

What bashfully runs in the night program, and to Steven Seagal in the lead role can advertises, a certain sense, have no level. Too much should we therefore Today The You do not expect, but even then the fun content of the film questionable.

Harlan Banks (a very wide in the previous Steven Seagal) is hired as a driver in an armored car, to his surprise ending in a robbery. Harlan as the supposed bad guy is a life sentence thrown into high security prison, where he immediately contacted the cliché black prison inmates Ice Cool (Anthony "Treach" Criss) befriends him assist you with the jailbreak. Harlan therefore set out to redeem his vest and to take revenge on the real villains. In this case it are still a bunch of gangsters on the heels of those who believe, Harlan knew where the money is now missing.

In Steven Seagal's eternal leather coats swell the pounds, so that it looks more like a ridiculous stuffed into a straitjacket, fairly stiff fight sausage and, accordingly, wooden stomping through the area. That it is used a double, in most scenes, makes things any better or worse. Seriously one can take neither Steven "the man with exactly one facial expression" Seagal nor his rear view double.

indicated the rudimentary, chaotic action can be followed only with difficulty. After a primitive for movies of this style still passable chase at the beginning is changing Today You Die to an absolutely intolerable in a prison film became too long middle section, which will so miss not a cliché. The prison inmates have nothing better to do than to hear hip-hop, muscle-bound upper body squeeze in too tight vests and commit constantly meaningless stabbings, which of course never watching a guard and therefore remain without consequences. Equally uninspiring is the jailbreak of Harlan and Ice Cool by helicopter and the subsequent final which is scarcely recognize it as such.

The silly dreams of Harlan redundant friend, who will create a mystical connection to Harlan's throw situation, with cheaper Symbolism around, never to be discussed in more detail and for that reason alone is a non-starter.

The logic remains at Today You Die, which also provided recycled, but also many scenes from other movies, completely on the track. Although our two "heroes" have broken out of prison, no one cares. They are neither sought nor prosecuted, but provide the only shoot-outs with bad guys, which consist of the evil money robbers and a cliché-cluttered Chinese course. can come over

The fact that neither power nor passable action is logical. Thus Today You Die is actually only hardcore fans of Steven Seagal (Is there such a thing anyway?) Recommended, and even then really only for completeness. This film has not even cucumber Trash qualities.

[info] OCOG s comment:

German films are bad. It is generally known. But looking back at various clothes from the 70s and 80s, you have to admit but that has since been a marked improvement. For such as this cucumber Tender Heart Condition you turn nowadays not-or at least not as often.

The story is very thin. Because Pierre Brice (as himself) in a remake of Old Shatterhand, Winnetou performer Ricky (Thomas Gottschalk) does not fit, he throws him out unceremoniously, as well as the unsuccessful errand boy Edmund (Helmut Fischer) and the black specialists for explosions, Walker (Michael Winslow). Perplexed, the three there, but when they help the 80er-Jahre/Schönheit Rosi in a car break down, they fall in all three immortalized in it. After a splashy night at her home will prompt pregnant Rosi-only who is the father? Until they know that, do the three friends stick together and bring along money for the baby. This one is very creative. The fact that Thomas Gottschalk

was too good for anything, he has proven in several cinematic cucumbers. And playing He seems to always be yourself and even that still pretty bad. Michael Winslow, who is known as the noise-making in the Black Police Academy movies, has to Walker basically the same role again and the bargain an annoying Eddy Murphie synchronous voice. Only Helmut Fischer, one of the most iconic rather than Monaco Franze knows is charming as always and draws from the audience and the most honest laughs, as when he talks to Rosi's Yorkshire Terrier. The rest of the cast is not much weight when romping in the supporting roles and one or the other star. But where you have to say that Fischer Ottfried much better acting performances delivered as as tiger gran chef who is at war with Edmund.

exciting it is, of course, never. Even the jokes are usually completely unpredictable. When the camera zooms in comments already loose 80's style on a chair, it is clear that the break, once you get it or is that the vase, the bad is tricky in the picture, must be overturned. However, it creates Tender Heart Condition with lousy to decent sayings like "you might have an elongated rope?" sometimes even to entertain quite well, at least the fans of such banal clothes.

Where has roared with laughter as children we can grow today usually only shake his head. The Ideas, how to earn money, the three friends are, as expected strunz stupid. Whether as a backing track playing musicians, as agent for a breath tester or in a boat race, the brain can make as long safely in the refrigerator. And the absolutely absurd resolution at the very end, as it were, revealed, who has since Rosi pregnant now, so deppart so that one can imagine and certainly not a perfect end to any more.

And somehow maintains Tender Heart Condition yet. If you know how to appreciate quite abysmal German trash TV or Thomas Gottschalk's talent-free acting. So if a primitive German 80's television entertainment stands, is on the "romantic comedy" with the title depp species Tender Heart Condition , suggesting the already bad on trash, well advised. All others should be attempted but the fingers of this pickle!
