(Credit, IMDb) A training exercise for the LAPD SWAT Team goes terribly wrong when they find themselves pitted against two rival gangs while trapped in an abandoned Hangar, armed with nothing but blanks.I really wish Stone Cold would choose better projects. He's incredibly charismatic, and the greatest superstar of all time. I have no idea why he succumbs to this sort of thing. There is barely any action in this movie, which is something that might seem shocking, considering Michael Jai White is in this movie as well. I don't remember much about this movie. I saw it when it first came out on DVD. I do remember that it throws in some twists and turns in the finale, and it had no impact on me what so ever. I'm not sure what they were going for it, but it's nothing more than a generic police film that lacks excitement and action3/10

I had pretty low expectations for this movie but it turned out a bit better than I thought it would be. The thing that drives this movie is that it doesn't take itself seriously and the constant comedic dialogue makes this movie watchable. Even when the characters get angry and obnoxious it's done in a comedic manner. If you take this movie seriously you might get a bit irritated but if you watch this with a open mind and watch it for what it is, it's actually watchable. I have to admit though the main reason I decided to watch this was because it as Steve Austin and Michael Jai White in the same movie. And they are the main characters in this. So the plot is this, after a group of LAPD SWAT team doesn't do there job the higher ups wanted they get forced to do a training exercise in a warehouse. But in the same warehouse coincidentally two rival gangs are fighting over a briefcase. The plot however suffers from plot holes and very stupid characters, but for a straight to DVD movie it's passable to some degree. For a straight to DVD movie with a very low budget this one is actually watchable, mediocre at best though.5.5/10

Alright after my brief hiatus, I am back int the world of B-Action movies and I would like to get this show on the road.I also would like to say that this movie is not complete trash. There are some appealing moments and some pretty good fight scenes for and action movie enthusiasts. It is unexpected to see quite a bit of familiar faces in this show. It stars todays B-Action heroes, Steve Austin, Micheal Jai White, Darren Shalavi and Kieth Jarradine. There are also some people you would notice if you are a fan of sci-fi, such as Micheal Shanks as a Russian gangster. This movie also stars Michael Eklund and Adrian Holmes.Honestly speaking, I did not have high hopes for this movie, seeing the opening of the movie was probably showing one the worst depictions of a swat team ever. But of course this movie was meant to be fun and not to be taken seriously.So the basic premise of this movie is this, "A training exercise for the LAPD SWAT Team goes terribly wrong when they find themselves pitted against two rival gangs while trapped in an abandoned Hangar, armed with nothing but blanks." Thats about it.Actually there is much more than that. Threre is an item in a briefcase that scared most of the members of the swat team that the bad guys are after. They never really get into the subject of explaining what that item is. The movie leads us to believe that it is a bomb. This in which I already believe it to be pretty smart for the film of such caliber.The acting is pretty good for what its worth. Steve Austin once again gives his wooden acting a nice little push upwards adding a little humor in the dialog. But the most enjoyable dialog in this film is probably the back and forth insults between the Italian mobster and the Russian gangster. Both insulting each other while trying to get the 'package' The writing is pretty smart for what it is. And the directing is solid if albeit a little disjointed at times. But one thing is for sure, The action scenes are good. The fight scene between White and Shalavi is one to out for even though it is brief.The ending is has a big twist that even left me dumbfounded and a little confused. But hey it is a well made B- action movie that would suffice for anyone who has nothing to do on a Saturday night.

After resolving a supermarket hold up in violent fashion, a Los Angeles S.W.A.T. team - leader Tate (Steve Austin), Hunt (Michael Jai White), Jannard (Lexa Doig), and Blanco (Steve Bacic) - are assigned to do training at a remote facility (with only themselves on the site...huh, no trainers?). This is bad news as two mob factions (including Michael Shanks doing one of cinema's worst Russian accents) have descended up on the warehouse looking for a mysterious briefcase. Walter Hill's TRESPASS, much? This is really bottom of the barrel stuff and I feel bad for the big names who actually signed up to be in this. Particularly the very talented Jai White, who deserves so much better. Director Adamo Paolo Cultraro, he of the many Os, just makes an ugly, ugly film with flat digital photography and horrible editing during the fights. For example, any time a person gets punched, they do a visual effect of the image rocking/blurring. Austin still has little personality (his attempts at comedy are almost unbearable) and I'm surprised he still gets these lead roles. The final fight is WWE vs. UFC as he takes on veteran MMA fighter Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine. I'll let you guess who wins.
