Lundgren films are great things it is very rare that you're disappointed because the bar is set so very low. In this case I had low hopes for the film as I had never heard of it and it was premiering on channel 5. However it is actually a little better than I thought it would be. The plot is a little too complex but it is possible to strip it down and ignore the bits around the core. The action is lacking for a Lundgren film it has fights and gun battles but they aren't very exciting or spectacular.
Many reviews here have praised this film because it is a good Lundgren film. I agree because it is higher than the usual standard, but that does not mean it is a really good film because it is not, it is watchable but it just lacks a bit of spark to make it enjoyable.
Lungren is good I've always liked him and think he is as good as Seagal yet he seems to get the bigger deals. Here he gives his usual performance but is enjoyable. The rest of the cast are good, but I must admit that the majority of the support characters failed to stand out to me the plot was so convoluted that I lost track of names too often.
Overall this is an interesting film that is good for a Lundgren film but is not THAT good. The plot is far too convoluted to flow freely and the action scenes lack real invention or spark, using jumpy edits in place of style. A solid film for B-movie thriller fans but outside of that most will struggle to get past the flaws.
