Not quite an average movie.. almost a bad movie..


Who do I talk to about getting the hour and a half of my life back that I spent watching this low budget disaster?

Normally I don’t watch Dolph Lundgren movies.. but.. I saw the rating here on IMDB so I gave it a try... big mistake...

reply

yes i have to agree over rated on imdb,

but with the limited talent pool the director had to work with i think he did the best job he could.

but seriously,way too many Dolph Lundren centric scenes,i felt this in some way reflected the directors failure to trust the casts performance rather than pure self indulgence.

but having said that some great cinematography and directorship,if only Dolph remained behind the camera,for at least most of the movie.

3 buts in a row,damb my grammar

dolph could never market his own films without starring in them as these films are aimed at a niche market. i wouldnt have watched this film if Dolph had a tiny role, even though i do think he is a talented director.

I'll be back!

On the contrary, I think he got a great cast and totally trusted them, the film shows that he is a director who cares about secondary roles, even extras, they all look genuine.

But hey yes the film was written as a starring vehicle for Dolph so he had to be the central figure, and this was in made in a good way...
