Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Prismark10 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.

Peter Pluymers A rather moderate B-movie. They made action movies like this in the 80' with the dozen. I think nowadays it's a new hype to gather all the old action heroes who are thinking about their retirement plan already in a movie (Other examples are Expendables and The Last stand). Dolf Lundgren still speaks as slow as a snail and Steve Austin still looks like a walking wardrobe, Louis XIV style or so.The action was sometimes very fake and the story with the blood type was far-fetched and unbelievable. Like Dolf said: "The chance of finding a match is almost non-existent ..." but accidentally Steve is in the neighborhood. And they know each other from the past ... what a coincidence.An unfortunate spectacle and probably the last feats of arms in cinematic terms of both gentlemen! PS. I've always wanted to know how the mechanism of a bowling alley worked in reality. At least something I've learned of this movie ! More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/

Destroyer Wod I won't lie, i am a fan of Steve Austin's movie. They are usually low budget action flicks, but they deliver nicely and I'm in for a good time. Dolph Lundgren is also a star that i like, and owns several DTV movies he made, some pretty good, some not that great, but there is certainly more good than bads.This movie and Maximum Conviction(Austin/Seagal) came out nearly at the same time, but i had trouble finding The Package. After having saw the previous Austin movie with Seagal i tough "hey if Austin can make a decent movie with Seagal, he surely can with Lundgren" but i think either the long wait have put my expectation too hight or i was misleaded by the cover.I tough Austin and Lundgren where partners in this, but the facts are that Lundgren end up being the big bad of the movie, even tough the movie present him as a main character and somewhat when Austin's charisma free partner get kill, you are waiting for him and Lundgren to team up together or something to go fight the baddies team lead by Darren Shahlavi.Honestly i can't understand where it got wrong. I mean the mercenary team of Darren Shahlavi was OK, with a little bit more time and dialogue put trough them i think they could had been better villains and Darren proved many time he is excellent at playing the villain. But here they use him more as a sub boss if i can use a video game term. Add a Jerry Trimble cameo(and the guy still delivers pretty good) for another sub boss and you end up wondering where the movie is going most of it.The final twist was kinda disappointing to me, and the fight between Austin and Lundgren is far from being impressive, especially considering the intro scene of Lundgren that was way better. I know Dolph ain't getting younger, but not that many years ago he delivered some pretty cool fight scenes in his recent movie. Must be the robe or whatever... i dunno.In any case, yes its a DTV movie, and yes it ain't terrible, i appreciated seeing Trimble again, Darren Shahlavi work very well with the script he was given. Lundgren dialogues are very OK, i just feel the general story of the movie could had been better, and the fights more impressive. Austin's hand to hand fights also need improvement, especially if they put him against real martial artist... I know he is a brawler, but still...Anyway i am sure Austin's got many more nice action movie in store, and Lundgren will reprise his excellent role as Gunnar in Expendables 3, so it ain't the end of the world that this movie was under my expectation.I would give it a 6.5 could i use this rating, cause i had a decent time, i was just expecting more.

Hellmant 'THE PACKAGE': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)Steve Austin and Dolph Lundgren star in this B action film directed by stuntman turned director Jesse V. Johnson. The film tells the story of a courier, working for a local mob boss, delivering a valuable package to another crime lord. It was written by Derek Kolstad (who also co-wrote another action film last year starring Lundgren, with Cuba Gooding Jr., called 'ONE IN THE CHAMBER'). The movie is your basic routine low-budget action film, nothing more and nothing less.Austin plays Tommy Wick, a courier working for a crime lord, named Big Doug (Eric Keenleyside), who takes on an assignment to deliver a package to another mob boss nicknamed 'The German' (Lundgren). He takes the job in order to clear all debt his imprisoned brother, Eddie (Lochlyn Munro), owes Big Doug. The task seems easy enough until he's attacked by a rival gang and his partner is killed. He then must fight for his life, the rest of the way to his destination, in order to make sure the package is delivered securely (without it falling in to the wrong hands). The movie has some decent action and fight scenes and the production values aren't too bad for this type of film. It seems like Johnson could make a decent action film director if he only had better scripts to work with. The story ends with a nice twist but for the most part it's routine and filled with pretty bad dialogue. The movie is also filled with pretty atrocious acting but Austin and Lundgren deliver the goods that fans of theirs depend on them for. There's also a few good supporting turns by Darren Shahlavi and William B. Davis (of 'THE X-FILES' fame) as bad guys. If you're a fan of any of these actors, or these type of films, you'll probably enjoy this movie.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF2KmRw-Kng
