webmaster's opinion
 
Very intriguing movie - not your usual shoot-'em-up, kick-some-ass action flick, the story is a very dramatic one that, although interspersed with action, revolves more on character development than character ass-whuppin'. Dolph turns in a great peformance as the troubled ex-cop trying to find out the truth about his brother's death...
