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

Spoiler Alert!!! I really enjoyed this little film despite it has a very confusing storyline about a man who goes on a killing rampage against the killers of his wife or somebody close to him! This movie is full of action that a normal action movie fan would be satisfied with. Danny Trejo again is a pretty decent villain as always. The movie is pretty awesome and if you are a fan of gold old fist fighting check out the end fight scene! There's not a lot to say about this movie other than it is a simple yet action packed film. Danny Trejo and Austin want to kill each other from beginning to end which you gotta love. It was way better and had less plot holes than Tactical Force which is why I have decided to rate it a 6 out of 10.

For some reason, Steve Austin never busted in the big screen like The Rock did, which is surprising considering Austin was just as good at acting in the WWE in term of his character and he is just a bit smaller physically(but still impressive). For some years now he has made some average to good direct to DVD movies and i can say i liked them in general. Last one i saw had Michael Jay White and Lexa Doig and was pretty good in term of general plot and action, but had some scenario inconsistency and non sense that downgraded it badly.Saw this one 2 days ago and honestly i appreciated it. Putting Mr hundreds of movie Danny Trejo as the big bad is a sure value in term of villain. This guy have played all sorts of characters from cannon fodder characters to villains to father figure and even lead good guy. He definitely nail the part solid in this movie as well. Austin plays a kinda "Punisher" character. He was a cop, his family was murdered and he has now decided to punish the worst criminals himself. He is now so loud, acting impressive and i would say he nail the part pretty well also.The action is decent, yet i think there could be more. The fights are made in a tough thug kind of way. No martial arts is show in this movie, the fights are mostly street boxing type. I got to say i usually prefer the first, but in this movie it wouldn't had work at all as the bad guys are a bunch of bikers.Thecnically this movie is a solid direct to DVD release and is entertaining, but it represent well the DTDVD type in term of action, special effect, recycled plot(yet good to watch)

First of all, I should mention that I enjoy a lot of made-for-video movies, so you might understand why I was pumped up when I got my hands on a copy of RECOIL, because it starred not only Steve Austin, but Danny Trejo. However, I have to confess that I felt somewhat let down by the end results. The production values are okay, though some of the photography has that dark look you find in a lot of other low budget Canadian movies. But the screenplay is lacking, making a lot of time go by between action sequences, and containing plot elements and characters we have see A LOT before in other B movies. The action sequences, when they do come, aren't very exciting. And while Steve Austin and Danny Trejo do bring some presence to the movie simply by showing up, they don't deliver that much more - maybe they too found this story routine and predictable as well, and didn't think it was worth the effort to be more energetic. I guess the movie deserves some praise for giving some of my fellow Canadians some work in front of and behind the camera - but that's about all that's positive about this movie.
