REVIEW: Sudden Death (1995)

Here and there, however, you see that Hyams glimmer. Sudden Death works in its little moments and highlights. There’s a particularly well-staged and brutal kitchen fight. Even better, there’s a violent punch-up to the death between McCord and a hockey mascot in a giant penguin costume. By the time the film gets McCord onto the ice in the middle of a hockey game disguised as a goal keeper, it becomes blatantly apparent that there’s a tongue in cheek approach to the whole enterprise. The makers of Sudden Death – Hyams, Van Damme, Boothe, and so on – are under no illusions of what they are making. They know it’s derivative and by-the-numbers. They also know that it’s okay.

It’s okay to enjoy middle-of-the-road entertainment. It’s not so much ‘turn off the brain’ stuff, but it is relaxing, familiar, comfort viewing. As viewers we don’t need to be taxed or challenged by every movie. We don’t need unexpected and dramatic twists and surprises. It’s okay just to make a fun, conventional action film. Every few years I pull Sudden Death and give it a fresh viewing, because it’s ultimately just a fun, silly action flick. It’s got just enough glimmering in there to stand out from the pack.

Review: Terrorism and Sports Action Elevate ‘Sudden Death’

By Daniel Prinn — May 11, 2020 B+

With “Sudden Death,” you don’t have to think, because it’s just a mindless action movie and these expectations are set with its concept alone. It’s not a perfect movie—but based on my own enjoyment, if I had any self-respect I’d give it the A+ it deserves for doing its job perfectly. However, I’m not that crazy because it has flaws and it’s a completely mindless action film, but if that’s what you’re searching for and the premise itself makes you giggle, “Sudden Death” feels like a front-row seat to a hockey game that could explode at any minute.

Very interesting! He trained for 4 weeks to be able to skate well, was on the roof top for real and the helicopter was dropped on the ice for real.
