Exit Wounds (2001)
Bad title, bad sound editing at times but still managed to be a good movie...
18 July 2004
The film's title is actually pretty bland when you watch the movie but the movie itself is not bad. Even some bad sound editing choices for example, a nine millimeter handgun sounding like an Ingram UZ. The comedic performances from Tom Arnold and Anthony Anderson. Very good, but somewhat incorrect, use of rapper DMX(Belly, Never Die Alone) teamed with a tough action star are all ingredients that seem to make up a typical Andrzej Bartkowiak film. Though rapper DMX had complaints about the kind of roles that he had to turn on and off, like in this and Cradle 2 The Grave which wasn't too great but not too bad, he works with what he's given and turns in a likable hero performance. With this said DMX's best films have been with Hype Williams and Ernest Dickerson who knew how to utilize his acting skills in the correct manner but back to Ext Wounds as that's another topic... Steven Seagal does his job in this film as the calm but tough Orin Boyd breakin' arms and limbs like usual even Isaiah Washington and Bill Duke appear in hero roles along Steven Seagal, DMX, Anthony Anderson, Jill Hennessy and Eva Mendes... The movie does have some weaknesses that could've potentially trashed the film but its craftsmanship puts it over the top somehow
