STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs
An early and suprising in-joke in this latest OVER a latest Dolph Lundgren film comes as ironic,since it's ultimately shooting itself in the foot.And unfortunately,it's true in much more ways than it isn't.Why on earth Damian Lee changed the original script,where Dolph would have played a contract killer named Jim Solomen who develops a conscience while taking out the killers of a businessman's daughter,will remain a mystery.As it now is,it's a pretty misguided and blunderingly cheap (early footage is even borrowed from Dolph's other recent film Storm Catcher)take on The Hunt For Red October and Crimson Tide,with absurd dialouge and really clunky looking sets.Dolph quotes some memorable lines and looks in peak action man form,but the rest of the cast give pretty dour performances,especially those demonstrating the effects of 'Agent Red' on the board the submarine,who look more like they're rehearsing scenes from the Evil Dead while suffering terrible constipation.With the state of Dolph's movie distribution as tacky as it is,this is the one to least hold your breath over.**
