Description:
Walking monolith Dolph Lundgren is a tragedy-haunted explosives-removal expert on the search for a new type of landmine in the midst of a country devastated by warfare. Much mayhem ensues. This (unfortunately) topical premise is remarkably somber for the testosterone market, but what begins as an intriguing drama quickly turns into a by-the-numbers shoot 'em up. (An intricate opening crawl and a smattering of thoughtful dialogue throughout would seem to indicate that this project may have begun with somewhat more lofty ambitions before settling for the straight action route.) Mild thematic letdown aside, this still ranks as an above-average addition to the straight-to-video adventure genre, with a number of genuinely impressive action scenes, a refreshingly proactive damsel-in-distress, and a healthy awareness of the numerous physics-related implausibilities depicted within. (Mention should also be made of the marvelous African-tinged music score by Serge Colbert.) Lundgren may not be the most expressive actor out there, but at least the big lug knows how to get the job done and look good doing it. So does this movie. --Andrew Wright
