dolph lundgren be back . detention mark dolphs first film in nearly 2 year and and that be follow the delayed hidden agenda . this film still mark an improvement for dolph over his cheapie trilogy of jill rip and agent red and stormcatcher . however this film be well below the standard of hidden agenda and which be well in almost every respect . what this film do have in it favour from dolph previous outing and be a sense of cheesy fun . the film also have a rejuvenate dolph back in a high action role and and it good to see dolph do his own stunt again . the films story be ludicrous and prime b movie material . an ex military man be now a teacher and on his last day of teaching and whilst take a detention class and he run into some slovakian bad guy who have take over the school to use a cover for a big drug deal . the film have no originality but in a movie of this type you need to have a sense of fun with all the cliche . if you take it too seriously the audience will find little to enjoy . thankfully the filmmaker do not take matter too seriously and along with all the action cliches you can think of and the predictability and this film have a so bad it enjoyable kind of vibe . where the film be let down be miss use a fairly decent budget . the budget of around 10 million have not be well spend . it all up on screen with plenty of carnage and big explosion but a lot of the shootout lack imagination . the opening action be okay but after that the good moment become more sparse . there be some good moment . you have a car career through school hallway for example and a decent shootout at the beginning and with plenty of destruction . the rest of the shootout be fairly mechanical but there be plenty go on onscreen . a for the cast . hidden agenda boast the best cast dolph have work with in age . there be a good standard of actor for a dtv film . this however have problem . the actor be on the most part bad . the bad guy be terrible and but the lead bad guy have a kind of enjoyable cheesiness because alex karsis play it so over the top and without the hint of any menace that you can laugh at the pure badness . the teenager of the piece be actually good but they be play such cliched character . they all hate authority and each other and all have bad attitude and of course by the end they learn important life lesson and but generally they be decent and chris collins in particular have a likeability . this movie be all about dolph though . while this film be nowhere near his best and it be nowhere near his bad . it also mark a turn point in his career . he be now back in good shape and and will be in even good shape in his next film direct action . dolph look enthusiastic here and he do all his own stunt and it be good to see him play the typical action man ( run from explosion in slow mo and one liner and and handle large weapon ) again in a movie like his old one and albeit with less flair and imagination than cliched film like army of one . it be good to see dolph look energise . his film of the last 8 or so year have see dolph look a little more weary and and use double a lot ( he still do all the fight himself though ) but the new streamlined dolph seem up for it . overall this be watchable if only for the cheese value and dolph in prime action man mode . there not a single surprise but it have a laughably inept kind of charm . .
