    I watch almost one movie a day, so I have seen my share of bad movies. This one is so bad, I felt I had to warn people to not waste their time with it. I usually find Dolph Lundgren movies okay but the screen play must have been written by a 5 year old. The villains were the most over the top and annoying it was painful to watch. The shooting scenes where tons of rounds are fired at close range but never seem to hit anyone were amongst the most outrageous I have seen in a long time. How someone ever funded this movie is well beyond me.

    I think this is one of Dolph's best movies. It has a story and it's not just non-stop action. Has action(and good action) where it's need. Definitely worth watching!

    This movie was so stupid we couldn't turn it off. The language was mostly one word...no make it two words...some time they used Mother with it. It did make us laugh most of the time because it was so dumb.
