No doubt, Mr. Lundgren is a mediocre actor. But some of his actions films, you can watch just to pass the time. This one combines only the bad of everything. Bad acting, bad directing and a bad story. A real cheapy.

I don't know how this got such a high rating. It's a 3/10 at best. No suspense, acting bad and the fake gun flashes just make the case. If you're looking for a movie to fall asleep to, this is the one.

Scriptwriter was in a hurry may be! Pointless action and lame shooting, no actual storyline... Bored as hell.

Some of the worst choreography and acting I've ever seen, how do they get away with it.

Yet another low budget low production value movie. The writing is bad. The cinematography is bad. The soundscape is bad. Even Dolph seems to hate it as he's filming it.

For a title such as Acceleration, it seems the foot slipped off the gas pedal! There's No feeling in the entire movie. In spite of being a Huge movies buff, I've been in awe of Dolph Lundgren's capabilities (albeit not so limited) as far back as IVAN DRAGO. He always seemed to have fitted in as an convincing performer but even his larger than life presence seemed diminished in here. Danny Trejo's been wasted too! This movie stands so weak in script, dialogue, action, thrill and even the gunfire too !! It was a bad decision of mine to watch this and even though I gritted my teeth and went almost 3 quarters of an hour into it, I couldn't wait to just get the end. Didn't just want to bother till the end. No one is convincing, very bad direction.

I rented this movie based on Dolph Lundgren's name and the plot looked alright. I was expecting one of those low budget DTV action movie and this is mostly what i got.

To be honest, the lead actress who plays Rhona, Natalie Burns, is actually pretty good. Her acting is better than to be expected in these type of movies, and her fight scenes are not bad at all. Sean Patrick Flanery looks like he has fun in his role too. Danny Trejo and Rampage Jackson are simply cameo, do not expect much from them. Surprisingly Dolph and Liddel's action parts were very slow, sluggish and not really entertaining, wich is a bummer.

The plot is pretty simple, and will not amaze you by any means but it kinda do the job.

Where it hurt the most tough is the very low budget production value. The gun special effects are terrible, the picture/lightning/sets look low budget too, and despite the title do not expect any high octane car chases.

But overall i still had a decent time, mostly due to Natalie and Sean's performance and it was fine for a beer friday night movie evening. I think with a much bigger production value, this could had been a pretty solid action flick, but it was not to be. Still end up decent to me tough. But clearly if you are used to big budget action movie, you may not like it.

I saw this movie with gert. Its really very very bad

What did I just try and watch??? It was so bad I dont even know where to begin. The acting was nothing short of horrific. A high school drama club would have done a better job than this. OMG it was just terrible. Put it this way Nicolas Cage AND Bruce Willis both passed on staring in this movie. That should tell you everything you need to know. Like I said this is a warm moist turd... Factory fresh as a matter of fact.

I love Dolph Lundgren and action movie. This film is def one to see if you like actionfilm. Sad thing here with some reviewers is that they don't understand the difference between a B and A movie in their ratings.

B movie is low budget so you can't rate it the same as A movie. So to all the review so called experts and bashers out there. Keep that in mind before you give your review to a B movie, or find another hobby.

...terrible screenplay and/or editing. I'm not sure why this film needed two directors, but it certainly needed a better screenplay. There are so many plot holes and technical issues with the writing, I'm still trying to figure out many elements of many scenes. There is no excuse for seasoned writers/director/producers Michael Merino and Daniel Zirilli to let this convoluted story go to action.

Directing and cinematography however were on point. The all-star B cast were actually decent, but the annoyingly excessive eye-liner on Natalie Burns kept confusing me with in thinking they cast Criss Angel. The usually annoying and overbearing score in these type of films was actually adequate.

Overall I was actually impressed - not going into this film expecting much, however, had the film been edited properly so there were no questions left to ask, and/or the final script written as such, this film would've been one of the better B-films this year. Sadly it missed the mark, and thus a 6/10 from me.

I did not enjoyed this at all. seems the lead actress in the film can't make me believe she is the person whom she thinks is the movie., Mr. Lundgren is alright in this movie, he's not known to be in the drama department,.

but I would give a plus 1 to my 2 fave people in this movie, THE ICEMAN and RAMPAGE of THE UFC...

bad plot, mediocre action scenes., Sean Patrick Flanery did his best here portraying the BAD GUY role.

avoid this if you can.

The whole movie was really cringey. The acting was awkward and so robot-like.

Huge fan of dolph

But this is just dreadful poor acting Poor action scenes Plot line is very thin

Suggest you see a Scott Adkins movie for modern day action

Yep, it's bad acting and action. Couldn't work out the how the title of the film associated with the movie content, so I assumed it was how fast I was clicking the fast forward button, some scenes require this action. I noticed that some budget costs were recouped through product placement, the Maserati looks like a nice car. Wouldn't recommend this 2.5 star rater and not being added to my collection.

This is quite the most out of order, loosely connected rushed put together mess! What's with all the disco lights and the random music, and the acting is so bad, the cast must of been on real drugs! It's just about watchable if you can stomach it, but honestly, better left alone!

After learning the secret....I had to go back and watch it again, it was so much more fun the second time.....I found most of the characters interesting, sure, they are all bad guys, but with a certain flair as each has their own rules like a John Wick movie but on a lesser scale. A little more backstory, or extras on the BD would have been nice....and I would have loved to see the gag reel on this one!

I'm not going to write anything about, just take some time to watch this movie until the end, but don't expect miracles, not even an oscar movie. It's a honest action movie to spend some time without always thinking of the real life. A movie is a movie... the real life is real life. Don't confound them as many people do.

Charlie Angle come alive with Jacky Chan action. Not a Fans of action movie but it's not bad to watch this.

Lord this movie is awful. All those great reviews? Just Russia meddling in another election.

While Dolph is a nice person and good human and 90% of his movies are fantastic this one sadly is not. You can tell they tried but the movie feels ( and looks ) like a 15 year old living out his action fantasies. Watch his other movies . This one is unfortunately not good at all.
