Congratulations Dolph Lundgren you just made into the record book, with the most action packed movie ever made. They must have used a whole warehouse full of ammo and fuel just for this movie, tons of explosions and firepower used in this movie. Lots of gore scenes and fights non stop action, if you like action this is it. Enough said!!!

Well Dolph does a lot of running, a lot of chasing, I think the whole idea of the director was just to make an action movie and not he succeed. I gave a 7/10 because i like action but just wish there was more to the story, more mystery and develop the characters better, Dolph is good.
