SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Leofwine_draca Steven Seagal's supposed "comeback" film is an action thriller with some intense, expertly-crafted action scenes saddled on to a routine, clichéd plot which never rises above the "good guys battle police corruption" idea which has been done so many times previously (indeed, to highlight the cliché, Seagal's character is even referred to as "Serpico" in one scene). This time, however, the film is slightly different to most in that the budget is larger than usual, and the film has a slick style, a hard edge that's missing from more usual lower-budgeted fare. This time, too, there's an element of humour in the script, with jokes about Seagal's adopted "hardman" persona as he joins an anger management class, and comic supporting characters (not so funny, including one offensive black guy whose lame brained moronic humour definitely wasn't required).The cast is a better one than usual. Seagal - who lost weight for the role - is in good shape and looks capable of carrying out some of the well-edited martial arts techniques he tries out in this movie, although his acting hasn't changed since his debut. DMX is pretty limited as Leon Rollins, who turns from extreme bad guy to good guy at around halfway through in one of the film's many character twists. The familiar faces of Tom Arnold, Michael Jai White, and Bill Duke pep out the supporting cast, while Jill Hennessy makes for a strong feminine role as Seagal's tough Commander. The loud music is frequently intrusive and one of the film's flaws.The action sequences, however, are excellent, and worth watching. Beginning with a large-scale shoot-out involving a squad of renegade commandos disguised as policemen and finishing with a clever helicopter stunt, this has it all. There are MATRIX-style camera tricks used to make characters perform impossible manoeuvres, a motorbike chase, an excellent van set-piece which contains one of the coolest vehicle crashes ever filmed, a scene which harks back to the old days with Seagal battling a street gang single-handedly and breaking many arms and legs, plus plenty of shootings and one-on-one battles for Seagal. Thrilling stuff, it's just a shame the story is so familiar and overdone. Not bad for the genre, though.

Hans Gerber I don't get the bad reviews ..Maybe people expected something different? It is a macho action movie that doesn't take it self to serious and it is even better then most of the recent Seagall movies (probably his best since "Under Siege"). I don't look at superficial details like DMX playing himself again, not so believable characters, the overall mediocre acting, lack of logic or the canned story. It's not a Darabont, Nolan or Spielberg. It is simply supposed to be fun and entertaining not to be deep or intelligent. The hard action is very cool and there is a lot of tempo in it. The sense of humor rounds it off. Seagall delivers a good performance and carries the movie well together with his co stars. It is far away from being worth an Oscar but it keeps what it promises: It's a fun, cool, action-packed cop and gangster flick.

SnoopyStyle Orin Boyd (Steven Seagal) is a Detroit cop who gets into trouble all the time by acting impulsively and his cowboy ways. Latrell Walker (DMX) is a new mysterious drug dealer with a surprising cash stash to throw around. Little did Orin know that there are corrupt cops in his precinct hand-in-hand with the drug dealers.This movie starts with some hilarious gags. The best one comes from Seagal himself in the Anger Management Class. Also Tom Arnold and Anthony Anderson keep it in a lighter tone. We know we're going to have some fun here. There is an incredible car chase. There is no CG, just real action. They don't make them like that anymore. The twists are a little silly. The fighting is good, but with Seagal, nothing special.

Maziun This is Seagal's last big budget solo movie . He later appeared in big budget movie in "The Machete" , but it was an episode. Anyway , it's not strange that Seagal is making straight-to-DVD movies now . "Exit wounds " is a lame action movie that has nothing to offer.Story ? Predictable and was done before with much better results . Anthony Anderson ? Just as unfunny as always. Seagal and DMX ? Both can't act and have a charisma of death cat. Action scenes ? From fight scenes that look incredibly silly to shootouts and car chases that you can barely see what's going on. Interesting characters ? Oh , please. Humor ? A visit to dentist is much funnier.There is one good idea here involving belt and shotgun . A rare example of something truly intelligent and good in this movie. Everything else screams "made for MTV generation" . Maybe that was the point . They wanted to sell Seagal to younger generation of viewers . Maybe. I give it 1/10. It's not the worst movie of Seagal , but still not really worth watching . It's as unambitious run by the numbers action movie as you can imagine. Watch out for Bill Duke ("Predator") as Chief Hinges and Eva Mendes("Training day") as Trish.
