Summary: ANOTHER VIRAL THREAT
Review: AGENT RED is yet another in a long line of killer virus movies. For a low budget thriller, this isn't too bad, though. Dolph Lundgren, never one accused of acting, is even stiffer than usual, but in all actuality, he's not in the movie as much as one would think. Hiding in cameo roles are Stephen Macht and Steve Franken; Meilani Paul and Natalie Radford are the femme fatales, and a nasty Russian villain played by Alexander something or other does a fairly decent job.
There are some tense moments and Agent Red is a real nasty virus. Don't miss former EMERGENCY star Randolph Mantooth in a role as the admiral of a naval carrier.

Summary: A Great Martial Arts "Catfight"
Review: As far as true action and supense are concerned, this movie is rather predictable. Dolph Lundgren has definately performed better in other movies, but he does an adequate job. However, the reason I feel that my $3.50 were well-spent is the 2 round martial arts showdown between Meilani Paul (Dolph Lundgren's U.S. Naval Officer girlfriend), and Natalie Radford (the evil Russian terrorist). Meilani Paul just looks so hot in that tight-fitting Navy uniform that it is very difficult to concentrate on the fight itself. However, the fights are both quite entertaining, as well as realistic-looking. In comparing the two female combatants, Meilani Paul is about 5'10 and 150 pounds, while confirming to a figure of about 36-22-32. Meanwhile, Natalie Radford is about 5'7 and 130 pounds, while confirming to a figure of about 32-20-30. The first fight begins when Meilani Paul knocks herself away from a male captor, and begins running from him. Natalie Radford sees this, and begins persuing the Naval Officer. Meilani Paul attempts to climb a ladder in an effort to escape, but Natalie Radford points a gun at her. Then, while on the ladder, the Naval Officer kicks the gun away from the Russian terrorist, and attempts to continue climbing the ladder. Next, Radford grabs Paul's leg, but Paul uses her other leg to kick Radford's face. However, the Russian terrorist jumps up, grabs the Naval Officer, and pulls her down from the ladder. After a struggle for position, Radford lands a kick to Paul's face. Subsequently, Radford lands a back-handed slap to Paul's face. However, Meilani Paul retaliates by landing a kick to Natalie Radford's abdomen. After this, the women grab one another and struggle for position. At this point, two men intervene, and break-up the fight, although the terrorist seemed to be in control of the Officer at that time. Result: Draw. Before the next fight, Dolph Lundgren meets-up with Meilani Paul, and tells her that she will need to defend the missile room from Natalie Radford, so he gives her his gun, and tells her he will be back. Over the next several minutes, the two women take turns firing rounds at one another, and hiding behind corners. Finally, the U.S. Naval Officer runs out of bullets, and realizes that she will need to take-out the Russian terroist "the hard way," so she prepares for the final round of hand-to-hand combat. The second martial arts catfight begins when Meilani Paul sneaks-up behind Natalie Radford, and grabs her around the neck. However, Radford quickly places one of her elbows into Paul's abdomen, and quickly follows by placing her other elbow into Paul's quad muscle. Following this, the Naval Officer attempts to kick the Russian terrorist, but the evil woman blocks it. Next, Radford attempts to kick Paul's face, but Paul twists enough that the kick only glances off her shoulder. Then, Paul attempted a swinging punch, but Radford ducks out of the way. Radford, then lands a quick back-handed blow to Paul's shoulder. However, Paul blocks Radford's next back-hand, and manages to counter by landing a solid open-handed blow to Radford's nose. Next, Meilani Paul lands an effective kick to Natalie Radford's abdomen, forcing her to buckle. Subsequently, the women grab each other and struggle. Finally, the Russian terrorist lands a kick to the Naval Officer's face, which knocks the Officer away from the terrorist. Now, Radford has a clear path toward the missile room that Paul was defending, but Paul recovers, and manages to catch Radford. Now, Meilani Paul tackles Natalie Radford into the deadly virus, from which Paul is safe because she has been injected with a cure. However, Radford is not so fortunate, and Paul takes advantage of the situation by running into the missile room, and locking Radford in the room with the virus, which leads to Radford's demise. Result: Although Natalie Radford seemed to hold a slight advantage for most of the fight, she is killed at the end, so Meilani Paul wins. Although the evil Natalie Radford more than held her own against the heroic Meilani Paul in these fights, I definately believe that Meilani Paul would win a real-life fight between these two women, due to her height and strength advantage, as well as the fact that she learned some very real martial arts skills from her ex-husband. Overall, if you want to see a great, realistic one-on-one confrontation between to female martial artists, this is your movie. Otherwise, it will be disappointing for you.

Summary: I can't get anyone to watch this with me.
Review: I bought this movie previously viewed for 2 bucks, if that tells you about the quality. It looks and sounds like it will be the worst movie I own, and after I read the other reviews, I am looking forward to watching it...If I can get myself inebriated enough. So far after 5 weekends, my friends and I haven't been able to get up the courage to watch this past the previews yet.
If we do this weekend finally, and it is actually good(???) then I will come back on here and post a RAVE REVIEW. If not, this review will stand.

Summary: OK, it's not an epic
Review: I like this movie. I am a Randolph Mantooth fan and I think that he did an excellent job in this film. OK, it's not an epic but I realy like it. It's topical in this day and age when everyone is worrying about biological weapons and diseases. It could happen. If you accept the premise of the film, that being the biological weapon, the film works on so many levels. I don't like the underlying love story but aside from that I really like this movie.

Summary: Not Bad at all
Review: I thought this was a pretty good movie. Some good action, and a little romance between Dolph and Melanie Paul(who plays his beautiful, soon to be wife). Pretty good plot too. Only one bad part to the movie as there is a scene used from another one of Dolph's flicks "Storm Catcher." The same scene is in both movies which I thought was strange. Other than that, the movie was a strong one.

Summary: Just when you think Dolph can't get sink any lower..........
Review: I will be honest I like Dolph Lundgren.........a look at his filmography you see B.movie classics such as "The Punisher",Universal Soldier" and "Blackjack" Dolph has been going trough a slump.........Storm Catcher and the startlingly routine Jill The Ripper and the awful Minion(AKA Fallen Knight) but with Agent Red Dolph Lundgren hits rock bottom. Agent Red first of all steals it's music from Predator 2......and it's plot from Counter Measures,Oh I'm not finished yet. It steals footage from Storm Catcher!!!!!!!!! The scene where Jon Penner steals the air craft while posing as Dolph Lundgren..........Now Penner is 5'11 Dolph Lundgren is 6'5 for goodness sake! yet they try to pass it off as Dolph Lundgren as the soldier stealing the aircraft for part of a mission.....This scene made me wanna throw up but I hung in there.....It turns out more footage is stolen.......I swear I saw footage from Iron Eagle and Iron Eagle II.......I saw footage from Crimson Tide and I saw footage from Counter Measures........What the heck was Dolph thinking when he signed for this junk? I have no idea. When I was a teen (When Showdown In Little Tokyo came out) I thought Dolph Lundgren couldn't sink lower then Showdown In Little Tokyo,Then when I saw The Minion I was almost sure Dolph couldn't do worse........Well I pray he can't do any worse because Agent Red is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life..........This is coming from a guy who likes Don The Dragon Wilson. Bottomline:On Agent Red's cover it says "Once exposed you cannot survive" Take this as a warning.

Summary: Not as bad as people make out!
Review: Ok,a new Dolph film.Lets all forget what hideous memories that line produces in our minds!No,don't think about the minion,or about the last patrol,this is an entirely different kind of Dolph film...a good one!For Dolph gone are the days of Universal soldier,Masters of the Universe and the Punisher,he has been reduced to B movie hell,until now that is.
This film isn't too bad!The effects are extremely good,the plot is passable and Dolphs acting isnt too bad either.What really lets this film down are the other cast members!All too often Dolph s let down by lousy no name actors chewing the scenery.This film could have been far better,it could also have been far worse!If you're a Dolph fan,buy this film now!If you're not,get an early night!

Summary: "Sounds like a bad action movie."
Review: The plot for this movie is actually quite good, a microbiochemical weapon accidently created and released on the world is captured and is being brought back from Russia, but the Russians are trying to recapture it and release it on the major cities of the world and it is up to our "hero" to stop them before it happens. What ruins this great movie is the very bad acting. When asked if he knew about Agent Red, Dolph's character said it best, "Sounds like a bad action movie," and it is. From LT. Christian being seriously out of uniform to the underlying "love story", this movie just reeks. The only good thing I saw in this movie was Randolph Mantooth. His small part made up for the movie in my opinion. So unless you're a big Mantooth fan, this movie is a waste of money.
