webmaster's opinion
 
I eagerly anticipated the release of this one, being that it's one of Dolph's most recent flicks and I wasn't disappointed. It's a dramatic action movie with a great storyline, incredible cinematography and some great acting all-around. As always, Dolph shines, showing off both his acting abilities and ass-kicking superiority. The one thing I kept thinking while watching it, however, was, "Why isn't Dolph casted in bigger movies?" He's got the talent, the abilities and the charisma to make the big Hollywood productions and as much as I love the lower-budget movies he puts out, I'd love to see him on the big screen for a change. Until then, I hope he keeps putting out great movies such as "Bridge of Dragons"!
