Within the context of the independent action film, Sabotage is better than most. The fine cast includes Marc Dacascos (Brotherhood of the Wolf), Carrie Anne Moss (The Matrix of course), Graham Greene (Thunderheart), and Tony Todd (Enemy Territory). Marc plays the lead nicely though there's not much in the way of martial arts (one fight I believe). Carrie Anne is always easy on the eyes and a good actor. Graham usually plays a good guy but is convincing here as a villain. I once viewed Tony Todd as sometimes "hammy" in his performances but recently watched him in this and another film (the Night of the Living Dead remake) and now recognize my shortsightedness, I have to say he is really an underrated actor. The staging of a couple of the action sequences is impressive. Overall well worth a view even with a slightly convoluted storyline. One thing that is amusing is how Marc's character keeps abandoning injured people to go tearing after the villains, he doesn't even check the fallen for a pulse! The wounded may not survive their injuries but at least their killers will face justice!

I'm not sure how anyone could give this 10 out of 10. There is a good film somewhere in there but it never seems to come out. Everything is average. The main actors have done much better work elsewhere. One looked forward to Mark Dacascos, Carrie-Ann Moss and Tony Todd in the same film, going head to head, so a disappointment then. The ending was good however.It is always good however to see John Neville in a film. He never made nearly enough films. His Sherlock Holmes in 'A Study in Terror' and his Baron Munchausen in the Terry Gilliam film, made years apart, are good indicators of his potential as a great film actor. Theatre gained and movies lost his abilities along the way.The title of the film seemed plucked out of a hat. I could not work out why it was called 'Sabotage'. Any suggestions?

I enjoyed this film because I am a Mark Dacascos fan. He plays a street smart bold character/hired bodyguard who is resourceful and tough. His one fight scene in the hotel has a great cinematic angle. At first, this film may confuse the viewer because the dialogue is not simple to grasp at first yet after the 3rd time watching this film, I finally understood it. Carry Ann-Moss plays a tough single mother/FBI agent with a strong willed-killer instinct. The film has good action, humor that is dry and a emotional-chess like story line.

This is a very good movie. Good story, excellent action sequences. Tony Todd makes an awsome villian. Mark Dacascos is good as usual. Don't expect anything like DRIVE though. Mark has just one short fight scene. But that doesn't matter because this isn't a kung fu movie. It's a thriller, and a damn good one at that!
