i have never be much of a lundgren fan and with my preferred viewing be norris and seagal and with also van damme too . but to my surprise and during a dtv rampage of these guy ( the hard corp and shadow man and also the cutter too ) dolph film the mechanik be by a long and long and way the best of the bunch . i have fall by the wayside a little in recent year and and haven not keep up to much with the action boy and but when your in the mood and your in the mood . anyway the mechanik be fantastic . it a simple storyline and and a simply deliver film and but it promise something and and delivers . the result be a violent and dirty and damn fun action movie . it a great little regression to 70 and 80 action film . i also understand it be shoot on a fraciton of the budget of chuck and stevens and jean claudes and movie and still manage to look the most expensive too . lundgren too give a solid performance and look in great shape . in fact dare i say it the other guy like either old and tire or overweight ( all three in seagal case ) . lundgren look fresh and in great shape . ben cross be really good . that guy should have be a big star and a really good actor if anyone see his early work . on the negative side and the girl in the movie seem little more than a pointless inclusion to aid the bloodshed and and the bad guy be a little too hey look at me i be the bad guy . after all though and it expect from this sort of film so it not a big problem . i also wasn not too sure what be with all the dissolve either and but on the most part this film be direct with assurance and a great sense of pace and and of course direct by dolph himself . this film really act a a showcase for dolph lundgren . it the dolph show and and it a good show . it bring back fond memory of cool peckinpah movie . good work dolph .
