Recoil

Like the last review i agree a lot

all in all it was a good movie with a few actors i have seen in other movies in the past. Nice car used in the movie a real classic with out that i would have gave it a 4 out of 10 lol.

OK fight scenes but could have used a little more help with that i feel.

Drugs, guns, bikers and an ex cop OK lets not forget the feds and the town cops paid off by the gang but all in all it was a good movie.

I gave it a 5 out of 10 for a good try maybe steve's next movie will move him into a real actor but so far its been just bit pieces for him.

Rent this movie: Yes Pass on this Movie: No Buy This Movie: No This movie is not worth buying!

First things first: If you like brawl fighting, this will be your thing. It also won an award for this fighting, so the stunt people (coordinators) must have done something right. Apart from that the story is nothing special, you've seen it before. But it has a charismatic Steve Austin and a very good Danny Trejo in it. Serinda Swan fills in the beautiful woman in distress department.

Effort is really good, but the story still lacks a punch here and there. It really begs you to suspend your disbelief, especially right before the big finale. Morality might not be the strongest theme in this movie, but it will do the job, if you don't expect much

Ryan (Steve Austin) is a former cop who turned vigilante after his family is murdered. He's come to town to take on Drayke Salgado (Danny Trejo) and his gang who controls everything. Darcy (Serinda Swan) runs the hotel.

This is a lower budget TV movie made in Canada. They're a dime a dozen nowadays. This one has the interesting combo of Austin and Trejo. Austin plays a bit too wooden. Trejo is his usual bad guy persona. The movie really just suffers from a lack of imagination and action. There isn't much in the way of story. There are some fights, some guns, some explosions, but none of it is that impressive. There's just isn't anything special to recommend in this movie. The closest comes from a minor stage fight between Keith Jardine and Steve Austin. I would pay to see these two do the real thing.

It opens with ex-cop, Ryan (Steve Austin) arriving at a small town called Hope with an agenda, which is to seek retribution to the criminals responsible (shown in flashbacks throughout) who wiped out his entire family. And when he arrives, he arrives by driving a 1968 Plymouth GTX, booked himself to a motel/ inn owned by a young widowed, Darcy (Serinda Swan). While there, and as it turns out, the town is overrun by a motorcycle gang called "The Circle" gang lead by Drayke (Danny Trejo) for the intention of illegal activity including guns and drugs. And it isn't long before Ryan's first victim happens to be Drayke's younger brother Rex (Noel Gugliemi) whose supposed to be an alleged ped before he slowly goes after the rest of the gang.

One of the main problems of this movie is the fact that although, Drayke played by Trejo is a known criminal who deals with guns and drugs, that he does not really use any guns against Ryan until more of his own men are killed, until it's to Austin's convenience but it could be the result ex wrestler Steve Austin who's also credited as "executive producer" and that they were unable to afford a dummy car.

Yeah yeah here we go again, another try by Stone Cold Steve Austin trying to be an actor, so far all his films are the forgettable type. But not this one, no way there is a road to the Oscars for this film, but I was entertained and thought the acting was OK, good supporting cast, not bad fighting scenes, and loved that American muscle car.

I sort of felt like I had seen this film before as the story line has been done before in other films, it sort of felt like an early Schwarzenegger 80's action kind film, OK to watch, and good enough for me to say Steve has lost that B grade tag.

I would give it a 7.5, but the great IMDb would only let me pick a 7 or a 8, not good enough for a 8, so 7 is more than a fair score.
