Review of Timebomb

Timebomb (1991)
5/10
a dorky agency conspiracy film
4 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It's pretty generic for its time with guns that can't hit anything, dorky fighting scenes and dorky bonking scenes. But what really drags it down is the bad ADR. All the foreign languages sound terribly out of place, but they didn't stop there. They've also added dorky lines or dorky grunts in the scenes that were shot to be solemn and introspective. And they did it in unfitting voices with entirely unfitting sound picture. Like, when the on-screen doctor is being horrified by the in-humane experiments, her ADR between those lines adds in a sensual voice things like "oh, this is genius".

So after the chick saw the goons killing doctors why she still thinks that the guy is just paranoid?

In the middle of the film the chick takes a swig from a plastic bottle. Rotates the label of the brand producing these plastic bottles to the camera and says you should drink this plastic it will prolong your life. I saw some product placement, but her awkwardly noticing that the label doesn't face the camera is hilariously blatant.
