nammage After the first 15 minutes I wondered if this film was satire but looking it up I couldn't find mention of it being that; if it was satire then hey, great movie! It shows all the horrible things in other action films with an over used and cliché plot: "Cop loses his wife and child (usually a girl but this time a boy) and goes after those responsible! Then becomes a vigilante and goes after other people who got away with their crimes!" Oh, and of course the 'good cops' let him go but give a speech about how they're coming after him. Dude, he's right there: arrest his contradicting butt! Just a bad 80s early 90s action flick. Those films are pieces of art compared to this badly directed, acted, composed, written piece of ----. I watched this solely for Danny Trejo and Lochlyn Munro and while Trejo wasn't half bad Munro was awful. What happened to him? Maybe he should stick to Comedy. This film was just one cliché after another where other films had done it a billion (exaggerated) times before. Awful.
autisticreviewers This is a story of a man (Steve Austin) who is out for revenge for the death of his family, and he heads to a town where it has been taken over by a Bikie Gang where its run by the one and only Danny Trejo! The plot is very typical and extremely simple. The movie itself was very low budget, and it felt like an 80's type movie. Not such a bad thing, though. Everyone works really well with the budget they have. The acting wasn't great, the action was okay, the story is clichéd, but good, the pacing was good (it keeps you watching, and you never get bored) and the direction was good. The whole movie doesn't really rely on far fetched Martial Arts to be put into this movie. It feels more of a street fighting type movie. It actually works too! Trejo was 70 years old when he did this movie...so hats off to Trejo for still kicking butt at the age of 70! The final fight scene between Trejo Austin was definitely the best part of the movie. All in all..it's a watchable movie. If you're bored and got nothing else better to do then watch this. You wont be disappointed. 3/5 stars. 7/10
Ben Larson I'm a big Danny Trejo fan, and he seemed to really have a meaty role in this film. Otherwise, I would have dismissed it as another ex-wrestler grabbing a paycheck for kicking butt. Of course, Serinda Swan also made the time spent watching it worthwhile.I typically like a good revenge flick, but this one was missing something. It was like, "They killed my wife, and now I am going to do something about it." There wasn't any real passion in Austin's character. Trejo chewed the scenery every time he appeared. This was his best role, but Austin just didn't have the stones - he was cold.Austin needs to find some John Cena passion.
movieman_kev Steve Austin stars as an ex-cop out for revenge after his family is murdered. Danny Trejo is the head of a big bad biker gang whom Steve tassels with in this very generic straight to video yawner. Striking quite a few parallels to FX networks' "Sons Of Anarchy", this film suffers from such comparisons as this as forgettable sub-par revenge flick. I say this with a heavy heart as I did enjoy Austin in "Tactical Force" and was hoping this one would be as fun (Seriously go see that film if you haven't already). Sadly this one was just boring and tedious. Wouldn't even recommend it for a lazy Sunday with nothing better to do.
