Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreIt was a really good movie. Not one of Dolph's best but it was good none the less. Matt goes undercover to find out who kills his brother. It's not something that is like a lot of Dolph's other movies but I would still watch it constantly just like I do a lot of his movies. Don't listen to what is on the box of the VHS though. It says that Dolph's character's name is Murray Wilson. It's not. It's Matt Sorenson. I'd suggest that you watch this. Especially if you get into Dolph Lundgren's movies. Or watch Agent Red or Silent Trigger or Silent Assassin. These three are also movies of his that I believe are really good.
View MoreI must say that I really liked the film, and I'm--by a degree--a big fan of Dolph...(though I must say Pentathalon wasn't one of my faves, but then again I was looking for an action flick and got that instead--With the exception of a few of his films, his acting has always been wooden...but with The Last Warrior, Hidden Assassin, and this one, Jill the Ripper, he is beginning to emote, and not just spout off lines. I was really impressed with the movie, but why not give us more evidence that the movie is supposed to take place in '77. Other than the vehicles and the outfits, you can't even tell. Now I need to go rent Detention. Wonder how his new movie that he's shooting in Romania will turn out. Way to go Dolph!!!!!!!!!!!!!
View MoreAs a general rule I don't like martial arts movies and especially don't like Dolph Lundgren. But this isn't his typical fare and altho he still doesn't come off as an actor this film has a sort of interesting plot and our Dolph isn't the all powerful superhero.He is an alcoholic ex-cop who has gotten involved in tracing what may be a serial killer for reasons of his own and almost displays some semblance of humanity. I say almost because although he tries our hero still has a lot of work to do, but this film is tolerable for the late nite audience.
View MoreI saw this film under the title of "Tied Up". In general I have enjoyed Dolph's movies, so gave this one a try. It wasn't worth it. I have read some of the previous comments about the box enticing viewers. Don't be fooled. This is a poor film at best. The acting is nonexistent. The plot, what little there is of one, is very predictable. The movie in places seems to be chopped together. This one just plain stinks the place up. Not even worth the price of a cheap night rental. As a bit of a Dolph fan, I kept waiting to see him in action. By the end of the movie, you will still be waiting. Best to avoid this film, and spend your time watching almost anything else.
