Review
Since I am Swedish I try to keep myself updated when it comes to my fellow Swedes' new Movies especially Dolph Lundgren and thus I watched this one as soon as I could.
Admittedly Dolph may have his best years behind him. Still he has worked with most of the creme de la creme within the action genre i.e. Brandon Lee Stallone Van Damme. To his defence perhaps he is not handed the best of scripts these Days. I would gladly Watch Men of War Rocky IV Universal Soldier Johnny Mnemonic Red Scorpion again.
Plot A scarface duo try to move up the ladder. One is uncertain if he really wants to and is involved with a sweet girl and really wants to do something else. Unfortunately for them they are preyed upon by a rogue cop and hunted by the DEA.
Sadly this Movie lacks true depth. I could tell that the writer tried really hard to create depth and credibility for his characters. Instead he fails miserably and all the characters get stuck halfway. Dolphs character has an unexplored relationship with Another DEA agent one of the bad guys (who really is the Movies hero) cannot deliver a believable characterization of a guy in torment about what to do in Life. The Dirty cop succeeds somewhat better but the best characters which do not have any depth to speak of are the drug kingpin and the hero's partner.
Due to this fact that the script tries too much to be a Little bit deeper than most BMovies and lacks as well a really likable hero I can only hand out...
...4 out of 10. Dolph does not deliver but is excused by having a minor role and the bad script. However there are some good Points in the Movie Randy Couture is good as the Dirty cop and the final shootout scene is pretty good as well as the photography.
