Not too bad a film to sit down and watch on a lazy afternoon. Dolph is Dolph and doesn't look like he's making too much effort in the role although let's face it not much effort needed in your simple revenge film.
Nothing new in the story line but that's not surprising as it's a blatant re-make of the Clint Eastwood classic Pale Rider. Man rides into town, beats up bullies, gets on wrong side of local boss, he's a preacher of sorts, young daughter of mother he's protecting takes a shine to him, local boss tries to hire him then gets out-of-towners in to kill him but the main one is scared of him as he knows him from before but you never get any more information about when and where he knows him from and then he rides out of town and 'disappears' on the road after killing everyone with the daughter left standing looking longingly after him. Almost scene for scene.
The style of the camera work and choice of film stock add something but I doubt they ever expected it to better the original. More like the studios picking a safe storyline for a Dolph Lundgren project.
