Exit Wounds

Detroit cop Orin Byrd (Steven Seagal) plays by his own rules. He knows what's right and what's wrong, and like Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan, he doesn't mind leaving a little destruction in his wake as long as he gets the job done. But after saving the vice president from a militia group in a high-tech bridge battle that features the requisite car explosions and plenty of fancy weaponry, he gets busted down to a low-rent neighborhood where he is soon playing crossing guard. But he has a nose for trouble, so when he begins to suspect that some of the cops in his department are getting down and dirty with drug kingpin Latrell Walker (DMX), he is ready to take action--even if he has to go it alone, against the orders of his commander (Jill Hennessy).
Cinematographer-turned-director Andrzej Bartkowiak (ROMEO MUST DIE) shows off his keen eye in EXIT WOUNDS as Seagal and DMX battle it out on the Detroit streets. The pounding hip-hop soundtrack (featuring a number of contributions from DMX and Drag-On, who also appears in the film) and fabulous stunts, keep the excitement moving at a fast pace as the corruption--and the body count--continues to mount. But Anthony Anderson, playing Walker's right-hand man, T.K., nearly walks away with the film, supplying comic relief even through much of the closing credits.

    Steven Seagal looks far from the svelte fast-moving hero he should be in this action drama, in which he plays Orin Boyd, a disgraced cop who is transferred to a tough inner city precinct where he discovers his new colleagues are selling heroin to drug dealers. Seagal's comeback film, based on the novel by John Westermann, sees Warner Bros reunite many of the cast and crew of the equally disappointing Romeo Must Die, including director Andrzej Bartkowiak and producer Joel Silver. Seagal's performance is typically wooden, and the Toronto locations are hardly convincing as downtown Detroit. However, rapper DMX provides some relief from the usual Seagal shenanigans. The poster reads “This is gonna hurt”, and indeed it does, for just under two hours.

    Well worth watching

    A very good film. Good story and well produced. Kept me interested and guessing all the way through.

    EXIT WOUNDS.

    Exit Wounds features Seagal as a renegade cop who is a good guy and gets the job done but stays in trouble for excessive violence and a lack of respect for authority and procedure. He lands in a bad precinct and before you know it finds himself trying to clean up the neighbourhood while taking on street gangs, drug dealers and bad cops pretty much all by himself. Sounds familiar doesn't it? Ok, so it's a formula piece, but this is the Seagal I like.

    The Streetfighter

    New Street Fighter movie in the works

    • 07 Sep 2007

    Fans of the 90s computer game Street Fighter may be intrigued to hear that a second movie based on the characters is currently in the works. According to Variety, Andrzej Bartkowiak is to direct the film, which will not be a sequel to the original Street Fighter released in 1994. It starred Kylie Minogue as Lieutenant Cammy and Jean-Claude Van Damme as William Guile although many other faces from the game such as Dhalsim and E Honda were portrayed. However, the new movie is expected to centre... Read more
