| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsA pale imitation of the Pale Rider sub-genre of Westerns, this modern version does have one endearing original touch |
| 7M PicturesKevin Carra clear homage to the standard western story of a stranger riding into town to save the day |
| User ReviewAlex SBrilliant action film with Dolph Lundgren kicking ass! |
| User ReviewChase HGreat low budget film with older equipment. A perfect example of how you film a movie without special effects and high quality equipment. The acting was horrible in most cases, but the filming and how each scene was shot amazed me. Highly recommended to all film geeks out there. |
| User ReviewPeter SJust like 'Pale Rider'. Great Dolph Lundgren, Aviators and choppers. |
| User ReviewSonya DThis was a great movie. Yes, it may not be his meanest movie. But there was certain scenes in the movie where Dolph was mean. His performance was well done. I really enjoyed the film |
| User ReviewBarry BDespite this being a straight-to-DVD movie, its a really good modern western directed by and starring Dolph Lundgren. Its shot really well, like a rebirth of the Clint Eastwood type loner vigilante movies of the 60's. Dolph plays a biker who arrives in a small town at a friends funeral and discovers his pal's death may not have been an accident. Carrying a bible, he wipes out the corrupt business men and cops running the town. Really enjoyable movie, directed and shot nicely by Lundgren. Worth a look action fans. |

| User ReviewAl SAn instant classic. Dolph Lundgren has never been better, he gives his best performance yet in his best directional feature. A riveting, hard-hitting, exciting and well-crafted action flick. An explosive and exhilarating action-packed thrill-ride in the tradition of old-school western film territory. A powerful and adrenaline-fulled non-stop action movie. This is definitely Lundgrens best film yet as a director and actor, keeping his action hero status in check and showing a different side of him as well. A sharp, really cool, stylish and pulse-pounding adventure that never lets up. This film is flat-out awesome. It's a rougher and tougher mixture of Pale Rider meets Walking Tall. It's flat-out sensational. |
| User ReviewVan RSwedish tough guy Dolph Lundgren of ROCKY IV has written, starred in, and directed a hard-as-nail revenge melodrama that he cobbled together from such past hits as BILLY JACK, HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, and PALE RIDER. Ryder (Dolph Lundgren) cruises into a small town terrorized by white criminals to pay his last respects to a fallen comrade who died under mysterious circumstances. It doesn't take tall, dark, silent Dolph in sunglasses to make an impression. He wears glasses, reads the Bible, and likes to do shots of tequila. The bad guys line up to take it like guys and do they ever more get taken. Jarfe (John Enos III) is the leader of a notorious motorcycle gang and he and his army are summoned to silence Ryder. There is something almost supernatural about the way our quietly spoken champion navigates the dangers. Essentially, it all boils down to an Indian reservation trying to build a casino and the local thugs trying to get in on the action. When they cannot convince one Indian to back down, they kill him and make it appear to be a drowning death. August Schellenberg is good as an older Indian named White Deer. The last 30 minutes is a solid smackdown. Clocking in at 93 minutes, Dolph has all the cliches covered. If you like revenge movies where the bad guys get their heads blasted off, this is the ticket! |
