Please, please, please, Dolph. Pick your projects more wisely from now on. I realize you're stuck in STD land, but you have talent! Not Oscar winning talent obviously, but he has presence for an action star. This is virtually unwatchable garbage, which is tailor made for Steven Seagal. I don't like beginnings of a movie where the hero narrates the opening, and reveals what it is to come. I also had a feeling it wouldn't exactly end the way they claimed it would at the beginning, and I had to wait over 70 minutes for a couple of lousy twists at the ending? This was ostensibly filmed for 2 million. Did Dolph need the cash that bad? This clocks in at just over 78 minutes long. It honestly felt like over two hours with how bad it was. There were times I literally focused on other things, because I was so bored. It's utterly cheap, and it was filmed in L.A. We get plenty of boring shootouts with very little fight scenes. One fight scene made me feel like I was tripping with how bizarre it was. Dolph encounters a Cynthia Rothrock wannabe, in a dominatrix outfit. She uses a chain to fight with, because I guess they felt it would be kinky or something, I don't know. The ending is shot in what looks to be a junkyard of sorts. Instead of being filled with emotion, we get a few measly shootouts. Dolph Lundgren seems to be phoning it in here. I don't blame him one bit. His character also disappears for some stretches as well, which made my boredom even worse. His character is a bit of an anti-hero, but it's poorly written. When Lundgren seems bored, you know you're in trouble. Billy Zane looks like he wants to get this over and done with. He is supposed to be a main character, but he barely shows any emotion, and sleepwalks through his part. Vinnie Jones knows he's in a piece of crap, so he decides to ham it up like no tomorrow, and he got on my nerves. Robert Davi embarrasses himself with a laughable English accent, at least that's what it sounded like to me. Why was he in this film again? Paycheck talks and BS walks, I guess.
Final Thoughts: What was the point of this? It's boring beyond belief, and I can't see why anyone would wanna put themselves through this torture. I like Lundgren, but this is as bad as some of Seagal's STD stinkers. Even die-hard Lundgren fans will be bored.
DUD
