The good, the bad and ugly that have gone direct to DVD in recent weeks – with stars like Jared Padelecki, Peter O'Toole and, yes, even Steven Seagal! And click on this link to see Gone Direct-to-DVD: November 2008:
10. Moscow Zero
Cast: Vincent Gallo, Val Kilmer, Rade Serbedzija
The Verdict: It’s official: Kilmer’s the new Wesley Snipes. No surprise, really. His career’s been on the slide since his only Batman outing, so much so that even the highly regarded Kiss Kiss Bang Bang didn’t help him the way it helped Robert Downey Jr. Still, it’s sad to see a puffy, lethargic Kilmer reduced to guarding the gateway to Hell in this tedious horror excursion set in the catacombs beneath Moscow. And Kilmer’s Russian accent is worse than the one Harrison Ford adopted for K-19: The Widowmaker. There’s much stumbling in the dark -- and nothing else -- as an equally subdued Gallo tries to track down Quarantine’s Serbedzija before he’s torn to shreds by demons.
