AWESOME, 21 November 2001
Author: Rafael Santiago (rsantiago) from USA

I had'nt seen this movie in a while until last night and it's cool to see Dolph Lundgren do what he does best... Kick some serious ass!!! He's very good here as a Russian Special forces soldier. Very explosive... Needs to be on a widescreen dvd!!!!!!!
