Dorathen Better Late Then Never
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
autisticreviewers This is a story of a man (Steve Austin) who is out for revenge for the death of his family, and he heads to a town where it has been taken over by a Bikie Gang where its run by the one and only Danny Trejo! The plot is very typical and extremely simple. The movie itself was very low budget, and it felt like an 80's type movie. Not such a bad thing, though. Everyone works really well with the budget they have. The acting wasn't great, the action was okay, the story is clichéd, but good, the pacing was good (it keeps you watching, and you never get bored) and the direction was good. The whole movie doesn't really rely on far fetched Martial Arts to be put into this movie. It feels more of a street fighting type movie. It actually works too! Trejo was 70 years old when he did this movie...so hats off to Trejo for still kicking butt at the age of 70! The final fight scene between Trejo Austin was definitely the best part of the movie. All in all..it's a watchable movie. If you're bored and got nothing else better to do then watch this. You wont be disappointed. 3/5 stars. 7/10
Paul Magne Haakonsen This movie might have been even more enjoyable if they had Steven Seagal in the lead instead of Steve Austin. It seems like your average Seagal movie; an ex-police officer seeking justice against those who took away his family.What made the movie somewhat watchable was the biker gang and those portraying the gang members, as well as Danny Trejo as the president of the biker gang. Oh, and Lochlyn Munro walking around as an FBI agent and flinging one-liners all over the place.This is your typical one-man-takes-down-a-hundred-opponents type of action movie. And not a very interesting one at that. It offers nothing to the genre that hasn't been seen or done before.There were some wonderful bad things in the movie too, of course, aside from the fact that Steve Austin was set to be the lead actor... Yes, actor! For example, you knew that it was a Hollywood car that exploded upon impact with a solid object. No, cars don't explode like that, only in American movies. And when Drayke said "take me there" to go to the location of his dead brother, he was seen in the lead of the motorcycle gang. Wouldn't you assume he would be tailing behind whomever was to take him there? Tch, tch...If you enjoy action movies stay well clear of this boring movie. Your time and money is better spent elsewhere. Funny how a title this unfitting for a movie has absolutely no bang. Even if you sat with your eyes closed throughout the entire movie you would still be up to speed, because the movie is that scripted, generic and predictable.
movieman_kev Steve Austin stars as an ex-cop out for revenge after his family is murdered. Danny Trejo is the head of a big bad biker gang whom Steve tassels with in this very generic straight to video yawner. Striking quite a few parallels to FX networks' "Sons Of Anarchy", this film suffers from such comparisons as this as forgettable sub-par revenge flick. I say this with a heavy heart as I did enjoy Austin in "Tactical Force" and was hoping this one would be as fun (Seriously go see that film if you haven't already). Sadly this one was just boring and tedious. Wouldn't even recommend it for a lazy Sunday with nothing better to do.
Perry Bee Yeah yeah here we go again, another try by Stone Cold Steve Austin trying to be an actor, so far all his films are the forgettable type. But not this one, no way there is a road to the Oscars for this film, but I was entertained and thought the acting was OK, good supporting cast, not bad fighting scenes, and loved that American muscle car.I sort of felt like I had seen this film before as the story line has been done before in other films, it sort of felt like an early Schwarzenegger 80's action kind film, OK to watch, and good enough for me to say Steve has lost that B grade tag.I would give it a 7.5, but the great IMDb would only let me pick a 7 or a 8, not good enough for a 8, so 7 is more than a fair score.
