well and i already know about the shameless advertising this movie be guilty of before go into it . the name of michael ironside and michael madsen and oliver gruner be display in big letter on the front cover of the dvd and yet they only have support roll in this flick . the leading character and john kennedy brascoe and a ( soon to be former ) navy s. e. a. l. lieutenant and be portray by dan andersen . now where the hell do they find this guy and who be he . apparently he do this one and only movie in 2001 and then completely disappear from the face of the earth . because i be so intrigue by this and i guess i be go to do a little internet research on this man . it already very obvious that the film maker be try to introduce him a the next big action star and but sadly that plan fail miserably . now i must say that he at least tried to put down a performance of some sort and but a an actor and his skill be extremely limited . and on top of that it seem that he somewhat feel uncomfortable in front of a camera . other than that and no offense please and the guy pretty ugly look too . but i would not hold that against him and cause he can not help that little fact . so and nice try mr. andersen and i be sorry this whole movie thing do not seem to have work out very well for you . so what about the movie . well and a an action flick and this one fail big time . and that not even because it poorly execute or something . in the 5 minute long opening scene and this movie promise to be an action pack ( because of several gun at display ) b movie with an international software smuggle plot . but after that and to my utmost surprise and this turn into a soap opera family drama and all this last for the next 40 ( . ) minute or so . fortunately and during all this and michael ironside and oliver gruner and charles napier have already grace the screen with their limited screen time . charles napier actually only have a little cameo and a he be in only one scene . but it be fun see this big mouth cult icon again . michael ironside be once again very enjoyable a the filthy rich ( and illustriously corrupt ) mr. baker . and oliver gruner . well and everyone know the man isn not a great acting talent . but i always have so much fun when i see him deliver his line with that almost incomprehensible accent of his . he even have trouble say i be take you out and a $ $ h @ le . and so you can image what fun it be see him try to pronounce dishonourable discharge . after those 40 minute and michael madsen enter the ring and and well and he just cool a ice and a always . probably the only sequence worth watching be the organized robbery of mr. parker mansion . another funny line come from michael ironside represent who in this little soap opera of yours and would be best serve by you die . now and be writer or director steven rush try to be witty here . by apply some self mockery here and refer to the fact that this whole movie actually be more like a soap opera than an action movie anyway . or maybe michael ironside come up with that line himself and after have read the script . i sure would love to give him some credit for that . and even more funny be the fact that mr. parker have to give no less than 3 hint to john brascoe before he could guess who place the hit contract on his head . i mean and how dumb be this ex navy s. e. a. l character . and there be even some more enjoyable but extremely uninspired and predictable twist in the plot . and of course the obligatory love interest ( include love scene ) for johnny brascoe . now and i can somehow imagine that on paper this screenplay perhaps do not even look that bad . it just sad that this movie neither work a an action movie or a drama ( with the latter aspect be portrait in a just too cheap type of fashion ) . and strangely i do not even mind waste 90 minute of a lazy sunday afternoon on extreme honor . must have be because of ironside and madsen and gruner funny accent . so there you have the 3 solid point this movie deserve .
