Poor acting, poor visual effects. fighting in every scene, week story line. in one scene he steals a Kawasaki ninja motor bike and when he is driving it at about 20km per hour with people walking in back ground, they speed the film up so it looks fast and other cars move at a stupid speed, cuts to a side shot of the bike and it says Yamaha on the engine, how did he change bikes from a Kawasaki to a Yamaha while he was riding it? their is some good scenes in this though, and the main actor is almost a good actor, almost their. He kinda reminds me of a early Arnold Schwarzenegger. anyway don't pay to watch it. unless you like goofs.

It is a mediocre B-category movie, nothing more... The plot lacks reality and is full of goofs, supposed moments, shootings at random and product placement (especially cars). Almost all the locals (incl. police) are blunt and bloodthirsty; the events take place clearly in Bulgaria, but the US Embassy is in Luka for some reason.

Lundgren looks tired and old already, May is just-another-thriller-chick, but Chalke as Trent Robbins is really awful. His lines are just for show, his character is not truthful (especially in final scenes).

Watchable for those fond of chases, explosions and shootings, but even Lundgren has starred in much better movies. If you have a choice, pick something else to watch.

Dolph Lundgren walks through an okay action film about a US Special Forces agent taken out of a Russian prison to rescue a kidnapped girl, who really isn't kidnapped.(Don't think about it, it makes no sense what so ever) His rescue stirs up a hornet's nest of danger - such is the majority of the movie. Good by the numbers movie that somehow works despite the fact that everyone is clearly moving by the numbers. You can see the disinterest on the faces of many of the actors, but you still are engaged with what's happening. Is it a great film. No. Honestly its probably not even a good one, but it is the sort of film that you'll put on, or better catch on one of the minor cable stations at 3AM and enjoy in a completely mindless sort of a way. Yea, I know that's not a ringing endorsement but sometimes you want to get away from high art and just veg as mindlessly as possible. For those times this fits the bill.
