This movie is both funny and interesting. The lighting, direction, and imagery are all striking. The funny bits, other reviewers have already pointed out. I'd have to add bad Russian accents as well. Also, the twelve seconds it's supposed to take for the virus to kill people ends up taking somewhere between ten and twenty minutes. I also enjoyed seeing Dolph run around in black Converse Allstar sneakers (are they standard government issue foot ware?). This is a near perfect movie for pure entertainment value. My only complaint is there was no projectile vomiting, bleeding rectums, or bleeding nipples as promised. If this was included, the movie would've been supreme beauty to behold. I guess, unfortunately, somebody up top thought this might be too much. Can you imagine Dolph's zingers then? I think, "Looks like you're having your period," would definitely have been uttered. Probably also, "Blow it out your @%!" Or how about: "I can't tell if he's speaking Russian or vomiting." Yes, I'm a sickie.
... View MoreThis movie is a departure from the almost robotic characters that Dolph Lundgren has portrayed so often in his movies. This movie has a comedic bent to it, it's still an action flick but the quips in this movie are just plain funny! I had to stop the movie twice I was laughing so hard. I won't spoil the movie or the funny parts here but I'll just say watch the movie for yourself, you could have a ball.Oh, and I think that the romantic bits kinda make you want to edit the movie for yourself but with the natural action in the script and the comedic value to the quips and one-liners makes this movie one of Lundgren's best. (IMHO)
... View MoreYes you negative reviewers heard me right, I Own This film on VHS, I got it from the Blockbuster Bargain bin for $5. Why I injoyed it I'm a Huge Action fan, I own the first 3 American Ninja's and the first No retreat No Surrender as well. I think you should give Dulph Some credit for trying to make a good action piece it's just not everybody's cup of tea that's all, I give it a 4*'s out of 5*'s rating. PS: Don't go near Micheal Duddikoff's Crash Dive if you don't like Agent Red you'd loath it!!!
... View MoreWell the quote belongs to none other than Dolph Lundgren. And this is an understatement.Dolph Lundgren stars as a naval officer who must keep a deadly virus out of terrorists hands.I thought I was following Agent Red well until I saw "Dolph Lundgren" steal an aircraft which is footage from the startlingly routine Storm Catcher. This scene is more stylish and overall better than anything else in the film plus the guy is 5'11 Dolph is 6'5! This is incompetent filmmaking at it's worst. Avoid this like the plauge because once exposed you cannot survive.1/2* (Out of four)
