dolph lundgren star a nick cherinko and a former russian super soldier ( i think it be the same character in red scorpion . ) who this time use his special skill for vengeance when his family be wipe out by russian mobster however this be just the first fifteen minute a lundgren waste literally no time in deliver payback and it be when he find out that the mobster live that it become apparent that he must return back to russia and even the score . rescue a girl in the process be just secondary to satisfy his blood thirsty rage . i must admit that i enjoy a certain style of actioner and mainly the type in which the action be big and brutal and solid . of course i be mildly surprise by lundgren last movie the defender due to it good action and solid story however i generally do not rent straight to video movie because i get burned way too many time and however when this come on tv i saw it and be very impressed with it . the russian specialist be a throw back to the charles bronson day when the hero dispense ruthless justice and walk away with an end that be happy for everyone but them . certainly there be some minor flaw and the main one be that lundgren have soften his accent so much he no longer can pull off that great of a russian accent . also ben cross ( best know from chariot of fire ) be somewhat out of place in this movie but i would be lie if i do not enjoy this brutal throwback to the classic revenge actioner . so this one be worthy of a rental . in fact i may go onto amazon and see if i can find a cheap dvd of this to add in my collection . ( the last lundgren movie i buy on dvd be bridge of dragon ) out of 4 ( good ) .
