The Package is a routine action thriller made for the direct to DVD or VOD market. Steve Austin plays a collector for a local mobster who does what he does to pay a debt racked up by his brother.
The mobster gives Austin a chance to wipe his slate clean if he delivered a package to the German (Dolph Lundgren.)
As soon as Austin goes out to carry his task, other thugs attack him and pursue him repeatedly. It seems they want a big payday for themselves and steal The Package.
Meanwhile various people have a vendetta against The German as well who fends them off but he looks far from healthy.
Austin brings a quiet dignity to his role, which he has done in several other films. A decent man reduced to live a life he clearly dislikes. Lundgren buoyed by the cinema outings of The Expendables franchise gets to act flamboyant which he also did in One in the Chamber.
Its a low budget action film, a lot of action, some nifty fight scenes but the story is rather predictable, even bland. More dynamic directing would have helped.
