The Shooter

"Dolph decided he wanted to make the transistion from action hero to well respected movie star, so he dedicated himself to acting on broadway in an attempt to relearn his trade, this was his first film afterwards, and you can notice the change, Dolph makes the jump from bare chested shenigans to silk suits and his acting stands him at head and shoulders above the rest , this film has at all, set in the beautiful city of prague, it has great scenery, action scenes(including the traditional groping for a gun, while hanging off the edge of a building), love scenes(dolph manages to turn a lesbian onto men) and great cliches, buy it, you'll love it..."

One of Lundgren's better efforts

"This is actually a movie with a decent plot. Starts out with a bang and keeps on going just like the energizer rabbit. Lungren plays a US Marshall who goes with his mentor to Eastern Europe to abduct Maruska Detmer and bring her back to the US for trial. To be honest this movie has a better plot than Mission Impossible but not as flashy. I first caught it on cable but liked the movie enough to buy it on video tape."

Cardboard Action that worked

John R. Bridell | Minneapolis, MN USA | 04/20/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This wasn't a bad cardboard action movie. Plenty of brawls, gun battles, and road chases. It wasn't a bad plot either. Even if the cardboard action doesn't hold your interest, watching Maruschka Detmers is worth the effort to spend 89 minutes with the film. Great location scenes. Dolph Lundgren is not Dirty Harry, but he comes off well as a Swedish souped-up Gary Cooper. I knocked off one star because of the .45. Hitting a bad guy with a .45 at 30+ yards was too much to swallow."
