GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Past vengeance collides as Ryder rights an injustice from his past and liberates the small town from a malicious oppressor. Missionary Man is probably another very good Dolph Lundgren movie but also good perfomance as well and pretty much the whole cast did a pretty good job. The storyline was easy to follow and i liked the western type of revenge character he was playing. Definitely one of his better and coolest movies for sure. (8.5/10)
netnutmcb I love all of Dolph's movies, when I read the story line for this one I saw Pale Rider all over it. That is still one of my favorite Clint movies, Dolph does a great job of adapting that story line to his movie. The only cheesy part of the movie is when he does his BillyJack impression, it made me cringe with the 'I'll hit you with my right knee and there's nothing you can do about it' then makes the guys drop their drawers. Besides that, I like the movie as well as the cast. I thought the grayish tint to the movie was a nice touch. I really enjoy a good action movie with good acting instead of all the special effects and Dolph pulls it of well(no surprise there).
Frank Markland Dolph Lundgren stars as Ryder a mysterious biker who rolls into town (and bares an uncanny resemblance to Gary Busey) and defends an Indian reservation from the local mobsters and bikers that show up in the finale. Missionary Man despite what Dolph Lundgren fans will tell you, is not one of his best movies. Indeed in comparison to his last two directorial efforts this one is the weakest. The problem is that the action is badly edited, the bad guy bikers aren't written well and pose little threat and the film is all grainy and bled out of colors. (Why Dolph didn't shoot this in black and white is beyond me.) The climax has its moments and Missionary Man does remain somewhat watchable through Lundgren's typically commanding presence but with such craftsmanship shown in The Russian Specialist and The Defender one can't help but be disappointed with this one. Plus Lundgren borrows heavily from many superior films such as Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter and Billy Jack. The problem is that he just can't fuse enough novelty to distinguish his work. In the end though it's the sped up action and over-edited camera angles which render this one as a forgettable effort. Not a terrible movie mind you, indeed it is superior to most straight to video movies but Missionary Man is nothing special.* * out of 4-(Fair)
kevintempel I just saw the film. And seeing it it reminded me of the Clint Eastwood film Palerider. It was sort of the same story but in a modern time. Why I say this is because of so many similarities: - man presumed dead by the gangsters, hired gangster believes he killed him many years ago (just like in Palerider) - holy man with the bible (just like in Palerider) - alone against the gangsters (as many films)The similarity is maybe to similar. Maybe too similar to call it written by Dolph Lundgren. More like partly written by Dolph Lundgren. The base of the story is 100% Palerider.But the film it self is good. Like the modern twist of it. But it is Palerider.
