Wow such a horrible movie!!!! I watch because I like Dolph Lundgren but I decided to sign up an account on IMDb just to warn people not to watch this movie. I failure to understand how this movie was made as i saw from review for 6 million dollars. I don't believe. The action scenes felt so cheap and the acting horrible. The story was all over the place and was not interesting. Music felt like fake orchestra. This should also be example to why sound is important for movies. The sound fx, very low fi and old sounding. The sound mix was so bad in places that I could not understand words, especially outside scenes. please don't waste time on this movie, I have no idea why it was made.
I'm not a fan of Dolph Lundgren, but i watched this film 'Maximum Security' and thought that it was just O.K because t should have been a lot better. The film wasn't tense enough and it just was in my opinion a not really good film. Dolph only did a few films that were good but all his other ones are useless.
The film is entertaining, but not exceptional in any particular ways.
The film is well acted, and it's shame it is sold as a big action set piece for Lundgren. It is more of suspense thriller. Lundgren play a reckless robber and does a good job. However the fight scene I found to be quite average, I have seen Lundgren do much better in recent years. There was something off and I can't quite put my finger on it. I have seen the director direct action and he is good and Lundgren is a seasoned vet. So I can't understand what happened.
The movie does have a solid script, the cast are uniformly good, well edited, lit, the sets are goods, and it moves.
For a Lundgren film, it is much superior compared to many of recent Lundgren outputs a lot less good compared to his recent gems.

Classic waste-timer action(??) movie, of US against mexican druglords....
If you cannot sleep, then give it a go....You would have probably forgotten it by the time you wake up!
I like Dolph Lundgren & Low-budget Action B-movies but this one was ridiculously cheap, like filmed on a camcorder cheap & everywhere moves at such a slow lifeless pace that it felt like a dream lol.
Dolph lundgren looked in pain, probably due to a bad back, so he's stiff & wooden so the fights are slow moving & completely lifeless with no urgency at all.
For an action film it's dead, nothing is threatening & nothing is fast 'N' furious because everyone moves at a snail's pace.
