We all realise that Mr Lundgren and lousy movies are synonymous, and this certainly lives down to that reputation! The "action" scenes are mostly laughable, Dolph is tossed from a gantry and lands some 15 feet below only to recover later. Similarly he is hit with a full fire extinguisher once on the head and twice on the back which downs him only to spring to life shortly after. The gun fights are pitiful, low rent John Woo double pistol action with opponents facing off at 10 feet, blazing away and not hitting anything... The interior sets for both the sub and aircraft carrier are like left over Star Trek units, a few blank walls with banks of flashing lights and video screens. Silent Trigger at least has a big gun to look at, this is a waste of time.
Yes you negative reviewers heard me right, I Own This film on VHS, I got it from the Blockbuster Bargain bin for $5. Why I injoyed it I'm a Huge Action fan, I own the first 3 American Ninja's and the first No retreat No Surrender as well. I think you should give Dulph Some credit for trying to make a good action piece it's just not everybody's cup of tea that's all, I give it a 4*'s out of 5*'s rating. PS: Don't go near Micheal Duddikoff's Crash Dive if you don't like Agent Red you'd loath it!!!
This is probably the stupidest movie I have seen in a long long time. Just the fact that at one point the dialog went, "Have you ever heard of Agent Red?", "Sounds like the name of a bad action movie."The first complaint is the glaring inconsistencies. Having American's flying MIG's, having air-to-air missiles turning into torpedos when they hit the water. The fact that the submarine looked like an oil refinery rather than something where space is of a premium. Or maybe the lack of any attempt at military accuracy. The fact that the whole fleet couldn't destroy one measily sub! Or just the way the virus behaves. They say starts with headaches, then vomiting and then bleeding everywhere. Well guess what, people just started choking and then dying, no vomit, and only occasional blood. Oh and they said that the reason this virus was so terrible is that it has a 100% fatality rate and it kills within 12 minutes. Guess what, that is called a dead virus since in 12 minutes it can't get very far. The dangerous ones are when you are contagious for a long time before showing symptoms and then you die.Then there is the horrible characters. Every Russian shown was either a terrorist or drinking vodka. All the Americans were caricatures of real people, and they kept saying "God help us." The American admiral had to ask the president to make every decision. Then there was Dolph Lundgren. Special forces marine so naturally he is sent to protect a virus on a Navy ship. And they send him via commercial transportation to boot.Other bad things? So much of the footage was stolen from other movies it is laughable. They included a female terrorist basically so she could have a cat-fight with Dolph's fiancee. And then imagine every cliched action movie moment (that is even vaguely appropriate for a submarine or even airplane). Basically imagine giving a group of 4th graders the plot and have them fill in the story, write characters, etc. and you will have this movie.
Being a fan of Dolph Lundgren i can't recommend this movie for a bunch of reasons,first;the producers of the movie decided to hire Damian Lee,who decided to use footage from other movies like,Storm Catcher(1999),Blown Away(1994),Crimson Tide(1995) and Deep Impact(1998).Then they chose to shoot the movie inside of what looks like a refinery,and try to pass it for a submarine(i dont think submarines have concrete walls in them).If you want to see Dolph in a really bad movie then rent this one,if you want to see a good Dolph movie rent The Punisher(1989),Universal Soldier(1992),Army Of One(1993),Men Of War(1994) or Jill The Ripper(1999).
