Recoil

These days, it's getting hard to find a good action movie as the former stars think they are still young enough to play the action hero with their toupees and hair dye, but Austin has that strong charisma to pull it off still and his movies are not saturated with f-bombs to hide a lack of good writing and acting. Well done...this would be a good franchise for him

Plot is fine. Typical B grade movie stuff which theres nothing wrong with that. Steve Austin doesn't say a whole lot in this movie. Female motel owner is hot and of course single. But the plot movies way too slow. The movie is 1hr 40min but it felt like 2 and a half hours. It just drags in a lot of places.

After the first 15 minutes I wondered if this film was satire but looking it up I couldn't find mention of it being that; if it was satire then hey, great movie! It shows all the horrible things in other action films with an over used and cliché plot: "Cop loses his wife and child (usually a girl but this time a boy) and goes after those responsible! Then becomes a vigilante and goes after other people who got away with their crimes!" Oh, and of course the 'good cops' let him go but give a speech about how they're coming after him. Dude, he's right there: arrest his contradicting butt! Just a bad 80s early 90s action flick. Those films are pieces of art compared to this badly directed, acted, composed, written piece of ----. I watched this solely for Danny Trejo and Lochlyn Munro and while Trejo wasn't half bad Munro was awful. What happened to him? Maybe he should stick to Comedy. This film was just one cliché after another where other films had done it a billion (exaggerated) times before. Awful.

This 2011 action film stars Steve Austin, Danny Trejo and Serinda Swan. Austin plays Ryan, a former cop turned vigilante hunting criminals. He targets a biker gang responsible for his family's murder meeting friends/allies along the way. Trejo (Machete) plays gang leader, Drayke and the beautiful, Swan plays motel manager, Darcy who befriends Ryan. This is actually better than I expected and Austin is badass. If you like action or revenge flicks, give this a try.

Why? Pretty entertaining but predictable movie. Interesting that Canada is more enticing as a movie locale. Why? Taxes and liberal politics. I'm sure that since this isn't a PC review, it will never make the reviews even though logic and fact are utilized. Merry Christmas. Uh oh. I shouldn't have said that either, huh?
