webmaster's opinion
 
Easily one of Dolph's best movies. The script is well-written and carries an engaging storyline, and Dolph is in his prime. There's definitely a lot of action in here, but above and beyond that, Dolph portrays his character using a wide range of emotions (humour and drama being the two most notable), which makes for a great movie.
