Much has been written about this movie and undeniably most statements are absolutely true. Yes, viewing "Fatal Deviation" can give back eyesight to the blind and has been known to cure lepers. Why James Bennett has not been hired to play a major role in "The Expendables 4" is beyond my understanding, I can only presume that Sly and Arnie are intimidated by Jimmy's sheer awesomeness.
Let's just focus on the brilliant dialogs, which really prove that Shakespeare was merely an inarticulate, monosyllable clot. "You made me look bad, and that is not good"!, has since replaced "Hallo, how are you" in my vocabulary. "You have killed my son! Now I'll kill you like I killed your father", sneers the kingpin, who wishes to defend his drug-monopoly in the metropolis of Trim (Population: 8,000). Our hero replies faster and wittier than Eddie Murphy could have ever dreamed off: "You have killed my father! Now I will kill you like I killed your son". I could go on quoting those lyrical gems but am afraid that my keyboard will overheat.
Watch out for a cameo by JCVD himself (he appears in a picture hanging from the reform-school dorms wall), which led many a person to the speculation that Bennett has indeed studied under the muscles-from-brussels (or, humble martial artist that he is, has changed his birth name Sean-Claude O'Damme to J.P). The rest of the cast is equally formidable; any puppet-theater in the world would crave to have such fine actors among their ensemble. Not to forget the leading lady: The tag line has promised us "a hot babe" – that's like saying a volcano is only lukewarm. The way she presents our hero with a pancake and than blows at a dandelion made me feel like I was cheating my wife by just watching. Surely, you couldn't find a fyner lass in all of Trim, county Meath.
I loved this movie so much that I christened my firstborn daughter James Bennett! And please: Ignore all those reviews that deny the film its greatness and have surely been composed by the sock-puppets of a bitter Chuck Norris and jealous Jackie Chan. The leprechauns pot has finally been discovered and it contains not gold, but a copy "Fatal Deviation"! Only 10/10 and I can only petition IMDb to give us extra points just to bestow it upon this masterpiece.
