Another Disappointing Outing From Dolph, 13 February 2006
3/10
Author: TheCoryOrton from United States

I've tried continuing to hold onto my firm grasp of being a solid,dedicated Dolph Lundgren fan. He never made amazing films,but with greats such as Showdown In Little Tokyo,he was always somebody I WANTED to enjoy on a much larger level,and one that could've (and still could be) doing some solid action flicks. He just seems to continue choosing to take part in TERRIBLE films (and go figure,supposedly he is extremely smart in reality).

No,it wasn't Springers performance (he isn't even that bad). No it isn't Dolph's performance nor anybody elses.

The movie is just BAD. The writing,the premise,the execution, EVERYTHING. I Fell asleep once and next time around it continued to just fail.

Can't recommend this,nor can I say Dolph has been doing some solid stuff lately. Van Damme seems to be making an awesome twist of fate,by making great new releases like Replicant,In Hell,Wake Of Death...and Dolph is in some kind of bad limbo.

Maybe SOME day,we can see him escape.
