I have tried on some occasions to writing reviews about some films starred by Steven Seagal,but the truth is that they are all so similar (and so execrable) that I do not find enough enthusiasm for writing about them.I thought that because of its supernatural elements,Against the Dark would be more ambitious and entertaining...however,the film resulted to be absolutely tedious.So,when I was about to abandon the action films made straight-to-DVD,I watched Direct Contact,a film which,in spite of having various fails and being very far away from the greatness,is entertaining.Most people must remember actor Dolph Lundgren for his role of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV or as the villain from Universal Soldier.On this decade,he has only appeared on action films made straight-to-DVD and although he is not as prolific as Seagal,the quality of the movies he participates is much better.Direct Contact is the most recent example of that because,at difference of the movies starred by Seagal,it made me have a good time with its traditional formula and dynamic development.Lundgren does not try to hide the fact that he is 51 years old.At the difference of Seagal,he recognizes he is not a youngster anymore,and his performance reflects it at avoiding positions of invincible super man or immortal action hero.The screenplay shows the main character on a realistic way,because it does not portray him as a superhero.The main character is beaten multiple times and he is susceptible to making mistakes,being fooled or loosing fights.I truly appreciated that realistic attitude.Danny Lerner's direction is competent,because the movie has a good rhythm and the action scenes are well filmed.However,I had previously mentioned this movie has various fails.Most of them are on the screenplay,and the most important ones are the inconsistence of some things and very basic details which could have been corrected by paying more attention to the logic of the situations (for example : in order to face a suspicious North American agent not to fall on an ambush,Riggins -the main character- establishes as a busy public square as a reunion point...and the first thing he does is taking out a gun to threaten the agent; was not that what he was exactly trying to avoid?).However,in spite of its fails,I recommend Direct Contract as an entertaining action film which is not memorable at all,but which works well for having a good time.
