A mysterious stranger rolls into town on a unique motorcycle. All he carries is the bible and a desire for justice. Past vengeance collides as Ryder rights an injustice from his past and liberates the small town from a malicious oppressor. Missionary Man is probably another very good Dolph Lundgren movie but also good perfomance as well and pretty much the whole cast did a pretty good job. The storyline was easy to follow and i liked the western type of revenge character he was playing. Definitely one of his better and coolest movies for sure. (8.5/10)

I seem to be digging much of Dolph Lundgren's recent output, but while I quite liked Lundgren's "Missionary Man" (which was produced by Andrew Stevens)… however there's no denying the material is lifted right off Clint Eastwood's mid-80s symbolic western "Pale Rider". So much, that there are set-pieces and plot threads that are quite identical, which leaves you thinking it must be some sort of homage. From the first encounter with some thugs involving timber bats, the fascination of a young girl falling for the stranger to the almighty vicious final standoff between the stranger and some bikers that he might share a past with. And that's only a few. It's a western at heart with a modern day face-lift. Lundgren co-wrote, directs and also stars as the stranger who enters town on his motorcycle not just carrying a bible in one hand, but looking for retribution with the other. Sinners better repent, as Lundgren is going to be breaking some bones and taking some lives. There are a lot of confrontations; therefore it means the reckoning is upon those who stand in the way of justice with numerous broken bones and corrupt dead folk. The leering action is brutal and quick, but well captured by Lundgren with his crisp styling. The story is mechanically told, but never does it get too heavy-handed with its themes. The performances are spot on. I like Lundgren in the leading role, bringing that right temperament. Mixing broodiness with mystic. Matthew Tompkins and John Enos III make for effective villains. Clichéd, but bruising action entertainment. "What's your poison?"

It is really difficult to avoid the bandwagon that calls this a modern remake of pale Rider. The mystery man who rides into tow, on a bike instead of a horse, and saves them from the evil doers is a familiar western them. It has been brought to the modern age, while still retaining a western feel, by Dolph Lundgren, as writer, director and star.There is nothing new here. The dialog is as cheesy as any western or revenge B movie. The acting is predictable, and the action is as you would see in any Steven Seagal movie. Having said all that, it is still worth watching to see the slime get trampled and removed by the hero.

This is the first Dolph Lundgren movie I've seen in many a moon and I found it an entertaining modern day take on the classic Westerns of old, mainly Shane, High Plains Drifter and most of all Pale Rider. Dolph does a good job of playing the mysterious preacher who rides into town and takes care of the local bad guys. This is the perfect entertainment for a Friday night with a few beers. Dolph also directed this movie and that really impressed me he has a definite talent for that and I hope he directs a few more, preferably with a slightly bigger budget as this was undoubtedly a low budget movie but one that I found much more rewarding than many a Hollywood blockbuster. Whilst many of the supporting actors won't win many awards some of the young cast were very good as was the two main villains. My one complaint was the colour of the movie I found it a little too colourless but I suppose it gave it a cool look. Thumbs up for the final shoot-out too with a nice final line from Dolph before he rides into the sunset.
