Not one of Dolph Lundgren's best. He plays Lukas Sadorov, an ex- Spetznaz soldier turned priest in a sort of Templar order, who comes to New York when an ancient key is discovered by workers digging a tunnel. Apparently the key unlocks a special cell in the Templar order's monastery in Israel in which is imprisoned a Someone . Also on the trail of the key is The Minion, who is the servant of the Someone. The identity of the Someone, how the key came to New York, and the overall plot itself are ludicrous. Why the Templar order never destroyed the key instead of hiding it for centuries as it was never to be used again is never mentioned. Dolph Lundgren himself looks uninterested most of the time and even in the action scenes looks half-hearted. Am not sure if he was dubbed sometimes but his voice did seem to change a lot. Françoise Robertson is a most unlikely archaeologist and is quite irritating for most of the time. The Minion is played by several people as it can leap from person to person, only to give itself away by a hilarious kind of growl."Some questions are best left unanswered" says one of the characters. And some films are best left unmade.

Dolph Lundgren stars as a templar who comes to New York when a key that unlocks the anti-Christ is found by an archaeologist, of course the demon is only a couple miles behind Dolph and isn't killed so easily as he transfers from body to body. (Like Fallen without the suspense) Of course Lundgren is out of his element and the movie is completely unwatchable. I admit to being a fan of Dolph Lundgren, like Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme, I try to watch his movies whenever they're on TV. I caught The Minion and boy was I ever disappointed. This movie is utterly terrible. With action sequences so poorly staged and badly edited you can barely make coherent sense in the fight arena. Worst of all is Lundgren's woefully unconvincing perf as a tough guy priest (!) all of this made worse that the movie is such a rip off of Fallen (Which was good) and End Of Days (Which was bad but better than this) overall this movie is the worst movie I've seen from Dolph Lundgren. It literally has nothing to recommend it. It's awful and it's the lowest point in Lundgren's career. And I saw Cover-Up, The Last Warrior and Masters Of The Universe.1/2* Out Of 4-(Awful)

This is an okay time killer, but you could do a lot better. The 1st half is kind of dull, with lots of boring and pointless dialog, but the 2nd half is great with lots, of action, however, Dolph has done a LOT better, as i was a bit disappointed by this movie. This may be Dolph's worst(well at least that i have seen so far), and, the ending was kinda abrupt. The Direction is kind of bland. Jean-Marc Piché does okay here, but it's kinda dull, some of the visuals were cool,and some of the camera tricks are cool, but it's kind of bland, and the pace is extremely inconsistent. Not much gore or violence here. We get some non bloody stabbings, non bloody impalings, a few bloody gunshot wounds, and some bloody corpses and bodies. The Acting for the most part is good. Dolph Lundgren is AMAZING as always, however, he looked bored here, and had to spurt out some awful dialog, but he kicked that ass, and made the movie bearable, and his chemistry with Françoise Robertson, is decent. Françoise Robertson, is good looking but is kind of annoying at times, but she did okay. Overall worth a rent but not much more. **1/2 out of 5 Dolph has done a lot better.

The Minion is about... well, a minion. A servant of Satan and whose goal is to get the key that will unlock the door where his master is trapped. He is some sort of demon who possess human beings and when the body dies will possess another. Anyone who happens to be possessed will go on some berserker rage. Dolph Lundgren plays Lukas, a member of a secret order of Templars, who is tasked to keep the key away from the minion. The movie begins a thousand years ago, in the Middle East where a couple of knight templars flee from the minion. Then flash forward to 1999, where the key winds up somewhere underground in New York. An archeologist is assigned to study/dig the place where the key was found. Needless to say, the minion is after the key, and the movie becomes a long winded chase scene between the minion and Lukas and archeologist.The movie, is just that, a low budget B-movie flick. The movie lacks energy, and just trods along. You'll follow the chase but you won't ever feel involved in the story which willfully takes ideas from previous movies (especially The Terminator films). The fight scenes with the minion is troublesome, in that you never get the sense of how good or how bad a warrior this demon is. It "skillfully" becomes a one-man army when fighting a squad of templars but sucks when it comes to one-on one. And it's supposed to be around for a long time. All this goes to show that any sense of logic is just thrown down the drain for convenience. The whole idea of a secret order of Templars, a door to hell, and the key isn't well explained. We are merely to accept that they just exist. The movie seems to have been made with the feeling there's not much potential to the story but only enough to make a few bucks. Dolph Lundgren sure looks like he wish he were somewhere else.The verdict: 2 of 5 stars.
