User Reviews

Get a case of beer and have some laughs

I haven't had this much fun with a Dolph movie since Showdown in Little Tokyo. I can't lie and say this is a good movie, but I can definitely say I found it to be a lot of fun. The absolutely cheese dialogue here is fantastic, it is full of memorable quotes that'll leave you cracking up after the credits are finished.

As for the movie itself, I don't think it deserves as low a rating as it got. I mean, it's certainly better than Silent Trigger, which has a higher rating. The story is shot full of holes, but who watches a Lundgren flick for its' story? The acting isn't all bad, though some people obviously just coast through their roles. All in all, it's just a bad action movie, but bad action movies need lovin' too.

Oh, and it has the greatest titular line ever.

Army dude: "Have you ever heard of Agent Red?"

Dolph Lundgren: "Sounds like a bad action movie."

Army dude: "I wish it was."

Good news, buddy, your wish came true
