It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Please, please, please, Dolph. Pick your projects more wisely from now on. I realize you're stuck in STD land, but you have talent! Not Oscar winning talent obviously, but he has presence for an action star. This is virtually unwatchable garbage, which is tailor made for Steven Seagal. I don't like beginnings of a movie where the hero narrates the opening, and reveals what it is to come. I also had a feeling it wouldn't exactly end the way they claimed it would at the beginning, and I had to wait over 70 minutes for a couple of lousy twists at the ending? This was ostensibly filmed for 2 million. Did Dolph need the cash that bad? This clocks in at just over 78 minutes long. It honestly felt like over two hours with how bad it was. There were times I literally focused on other things, because I was so bored. It's utterly cheap, and it was filmed in L.A. We get plenty of boring shootouts with very little fight scenes. One fight scene made me feel like I was tripping with how bizarre it was. Dolph encounters a Cynthia Rothrock wannabe, in a dominatrix outfit. She uses a chain to fight with, because I guess they felt it would be kinky or something, I don't know. The ending is shot in what looks to be a junkyard of sorts. Instead of being filled with emotion, we get a few measly shootouts. Dolph Lundgren seems to be phoning it in here. I don't blame him one bit. His character also disappears for some stretches as well, which made my boredom even worse. His character is a bit of an anti-hero, but it's poorly written. When Lundgren seems bored, you know you're in trouble. Billy Zane looks like he wants to get this over and done with. He is supposed to be a main character, but he barely shows any emotion, and sleepwalks through his part. Vinnie Jones knows he's in a piece of crap, so he decides to ham it up like no tomorrow, and he got on my nerves. Robert Davi embarrasses himself with a laughable English accent, at least that's what it sounded like to me. Why was he in this film again? Paycheck talks and BS walks, I guess. Final Thoughts: What was the point of this? It's boring beyond belief, and I can't see why anyone would wanna put themselves through this torture. I like Lundgren, but this is as bad as some of Seagal's STD stinkers. Even die-hard Lundgren fans will be bored. DUD

I understand it's a low budget film. But there are many things going wrong. First, the plot is too complicated and I was just left confused. Second, the gun fight (garage scene) was bad.. How do you have someone standing in the open for so long and not get shot? Besides, the sound effect for the handguns sound fake. Third, when Gianni Capaldi fighting the cash handler, at the first scene you can clearly see him far away from the edge, handler steps backwards slightly. Then the second shot he was already on the edge starting to fall backwards??? Plus... how f***ing stupid is it when Capaldi had the handler's hand as he is falling, lets him go, then said "Grab my hand"??? Lastly, why the heck did Dolph Snipe Billy Zane and her girlfriend in the end??? That is just lame....The only thing that was somewhat interesting was Dolph getting his ass kicked by his actual girlfriend (who played the dominatrix and is a karate champion). Overall, it's quite forgettable.

To start I began my love affair with Dolph Lundgren when I was about 12 and was heartbroken when he ceased making movies, or so I thought. It seems he'd been stuck in the straight to DVD funk and needed a good script or, in the case of his comeback, an old friend.When the Expendable came out and I went to see it it was a little after my 40th birthday and I was astounded when I saw a familiar yet somewhat lost name in the beginning credits. "Dolph Lundgren" Oh joy! Needless to say, I had to own it once it hit DVD status and it reawakened my love for this brilliant man.I began looking for his movies and to my surprise, I was met with titles I'd never seen before and future works in progress.Since then I've seen almost all of his movies with exception of a few and that's only because they have yet to be released. So now, lets get started with this movie review shall we.We are told that "It begins with a mans death." and in fact it begins with a family watched over by a man named Axel, (Lundgren)a long time body guard and friend of a mob boss. When his charge is eventually killed he takes it upon himself to find out two things. Why? and Who? With the help of a beautiful young woman named Laryen and an FBI agent he begins to put the pieces of a very troubling puzzle together. But the picture he ends up with is more disappointing then he anticipates.In the end Axel must follow his own advise to stay alive long enough to exact vengeance on the one who murdered his friend.*I enjoyed it so much that I bought it*

I was actually impressed with the storyline. The characters were interesting and kept you intrigued. Enjoyed watching this film. Dolph, was doing his thing as an action star hero, Billy Zane's performance was solid. I was really impressed with Vinnie Jones, he's a seriously good actor and he is a great villain. Jelly looked great and sexy. At times the story gets a bit complicated but I was highly entertained throughout the film. Not much more to say, Straight up action movie. That delivers.! There are a lot of generic, boring, action movies this film has something extra to it, it keeps you on the edge of your seat, for a low budget film, below $3 million, it's a great film.
