Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is a 2002 movie starring Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas. The film was universally panned by critics since they regarded it as having no redeeming features (not even the comedy value normally associated with bad films). It is often listed among the worst movies ever made. Financially, the film was a box office failure, grossing just over $14 million compared to its $70 million budget.
Liu and Banderas play opposing secret agents who are supposedly enemies, but rather than fighting each other they team up to take down the megalomaniacal director of the DIA.
A Game Boy Advance first-person shooter, Ecks vs. Sever, was based on a very old version of the movie's script and, storywise, is almost nothing like the film. It was released before the movie. A version after the movie's release, considered a sequel to the game but which followed the movie, was considered an impressive technological feat on the GBA and was much better accepted than the movie itself.
