A man, his business partner, and his wife are enlisted to transport an unknown object from a Russian military base, only to discover that the object is a giant, genetically-altered python. Fugitive ex-baseball star and his Russian bride find themselves the unwitting pawns in a CIA-led mission to recover a giant, highly agile python that has been unintentionally released from its cargo hold by Chetynan rebels, and is now on the prowl at a Soviet military base.<br/><br/>Generally, the acting is either very pedestrian, or totally over the top, with stereotypical characterisations of mobsters, mercenaries and military types, all of whom attempt to exude too much sentiment for the depth of their characters. The film largely takes place on a military base, in which, a supposedly crack team of commandos hunts down and attempts to capture the giant reptile, with catastrophic results for most concerned. It's formula 'catch and kill' stuff, and plays out like a video game. Only Zabka's mildly tongue-in-cheek performance offers any hint of talent, his presence the fragile pedigree to "Python", although despite, ostensibly, playing the same character, the persona are vastly different. Mackinnon's accent is painfully erratic, with an obvious Australian drawl surfacing in moments of despair, while perennial Russian-mafia typecast Binev, is becoming something of a staple in these types of movies, making a virtual 'guest' appearance as a Russian-esque mobster.<br/><br/>The title reptile is even less convincing than in "Python", the CGI effects so blurry and poorly scaled, that the occasional interaction with a cast member is laughably absurd. Corny sets and cheap-looking outdoor staging is soon surpassed as the film takes up permanent residence on a fictitious military base, thus descending into a cat and mouse game with the snake, while stealth fighters prepare to raze the facility, to silence all witnesses. In spite of the competing threats, there's little, if any suspense, and a poorly executed climax that looks anything but the feared demolition that was to have taken place, to 'neutralise the situation', or 'go black' in the apparent CIA-speak oft employed throughout the picture by Zabka.<br/><br/>Overall, if you like big snake movies, then you may be moderately satisfied with this basic offering; on the other hand, if you're more discerning, say, "Anaconda" rather than "Python", then you're unlikely to find it here. "Python 2" is rather underrated in my opinion. Granted, the sets can be seen in many other low-budget science fiction channel projects like "Dragonfighter" and "epoch", the characters were stereotypical and the plot was absurd (How the heck are they going to train a seventy-five foot snake to do things for the military?), but the actors were competent, the special effects are surprisingly good for a television film (SpoilersAcid-spittings, soldiers getting bitten two, people being swallowed whole, a impressive-looking CG snake), it was generally inoffensive and quite watchable, I must say I enjoyed it. People keep bashing it, but remember..it's a TV film, not a big-budget hollywood blockbuster. Just ignore the few irritating flaws in the plot and I think you'll enjoy it, too.
Nice to see the download link of the movie Python shared here. It's good to see the brief description regarding the movie. We can professional photo editing services only see such movie details in very few movies on this website. It's good to share reviews here so that people can easily choose good movies from here.
