What We Learned:
You won’t see any bridges or dragons in this movie.
Explosives containers are always clearly labeled
Nimrod is a legitimate Eastern European name.
Dolph Lundgren has a trailer driver that is mentioned in the credits.
Final Cut:
This was 90 minutes of generic action movie, that had no bridges or dragons whatsoever. We were entertained, had some decent rules and laughs, but as soon as it was over, I don’t remember hardly anything about the movie. Maybe it was the combination of cold medicine and beer that I was consuming- or maybe it was an extremely forgettable film. Most likely somewhere in between. If you’re needing a fix of Dolph Lundgren and 80’s style, bad-action, look no further, but I can’t say that I would actively seek this one out.
