Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
dragonlady_872 I've read the reviews and I must say; some are very harsh. I also find the apparent lack of open-mindedness to be frustrating. It's a movie and they should evoke a sense of fun and excitement no matter the content. I've seen near all of Dolph Lundgren's movies and not all are great, not all are amazingly well written but all have something decent about them and this one is no different. I'm not the one to go to if you want to see someone denigrate someone's work. I try to find the good points in everything. The Package, while ill acted at times, does have a good story line. Tommy, played by Steve Austin, is the hired muscle employed by the mob. He's married, loves his wife and wants a better life for both of them. He doesn't like what he does and he doesn't feel good about it but he does what he has to, to make a life and pay the bills.Tommy is paying off his brothers debt to his boss and with one more job, he is promised an "out" and a clean slate for his brother. The only thing he has to do is deliver a package to a man only known as "The German" played by Dolph Lundgren. As he travels to his destination he is followed and attacked repeatedly by thugs from all sides. Their intentions are to take the package, kill Tommy and collect a huge payday. What they don't understand is that "The Package" is not what they think it is and Tommy is not just a delivery boy.If you look past the semi bad acting you find a story that is actually pretty good. You end up routing for Tommy and feeling bad for "The German". Not every bad guy is bad for bad reasons. Sometimes they need to be bad for a good reason.
Maziun In this movie Sean Austin is the hero , while Dolph Lundgren is the villain. I'm not a fan of Steve Austin and I don't think that he has too many fans either. The fact that someone like Steve Austin is being now promoted as action movie star really shows how action movies miss a stars like Stallone , Schwarzenegger or Willis. Austin as an actor is only little better than Steven Seagal and he doesn't have any sort of style or charm. I doubt that anyone will remember him in the next 20 years .Dolph Lundgren plays here a villain. Usually he's been good at this type of stuff ("Rocky 4" , "Johnny Mnemonic" , "The Expendables") , but strangely for him he fails here. Maybe it's because he plays here a character completely unsuited for him – intellectual in a robe , talking about how to make a good drink . It's bizarre to see Lundgren in this kind of role and despite the fact that he has one shootout and fighting scene he's pretty much wasted here."The Package" has a very decent production values , especially for a straight-to-DVD movie. It feels actually like a TV movie. Compare this to some of Seagal's most recent movies and you will see the difference.The movie is pretty much a standard low budget action movie . There's nothing special about action scenes here . For most of time we have to sit and suffer watching as uninteresting characters played by bad actors talk and talk and talk (there's some pretty bad dialogue here). Same goes for the story with one exception – the ending . The ending , the big twist is REALLY SOMETHING GOOD . It's something I didn't expected . Too bad that the whole rest of movie sucks , because the ending deserved a much better movie.Watch out for William B. Davis (Cigarette smoking man from "X-files") in small role of doctor. He actually gives the best performance in the whole movie.If you want to see Steve Austin and Dolph Lundgren in one movie together you should watch "The Expendables" instead . I give it 2/10 (mostly because of the ending).
NickyCee I am a huge action movie fan: Rambo, Action Jackson, Universal Soldier, Bloodsport -- you get the picture. This is a stupid, lazy, unentertaining movie. I spent most of the movie rolling my eyes and fast forwarding through the relentless, boring, uninspired, unrealistic, stunt double fight scenes. It is just so many clichés piled on top of each other.Let's check all of the cliché boxes, shall we?Pretty, way out-of-his-league long suffering girlfriend that would not stay with this guy for 10 second in real life - check!Literally thousands of bullets shot and none hit the action star anywhere - check!Almost point blank (I'm talking 6 feet away) heavy machine gun fire missing the action star - check!Bad guy and action star "run out of bullets at same time and fist fight" - check!Bad guy and action star get more bullets then "run out of bullets at same time and fist fight" FOUR more times (no exaggeration) - check!Fight in building with nonsensical sparks and smoke coming from unmanned, closed factory - check!No police for 20 minutes even after four people killed and thousands of rounds fired - check!High-powered 3,000 feet per second .308, .223 and 7.62 X 54 bullets from machine gun (in real life able to penetrate a military Kevlar® vest) easily blocked by standard 1/2" drywall, a regular wooden chair (like in grade school) and a flimsy hospital operating table - check!Instead of just shooting the good guy and being done with the movie, the bad guy wants to "torture and tell the good guy the sinister plans before killing him." Good guy kills bad guy and gets away with the girl - check!After telling him his sinister plans, Instead of just shooting the good guy, bad guy wants to have "fist fight with good guy proving to the bad guy that he's still got it". Good guy kills bad guy and gets away - check!Good guy proves his is forgiving and righteous man when he walks away and lets bad guy off hook in end of movie. After all bad guy has done, good guy simply can't kill him because of good guys true heart of justice. BUT WAIT! When good guy turns his back, "bad guy double crosses him and tries to kill good guy!" Good guy notices in very last second and kills bad guy. End of movie. Believe it or not this scene did NOT happen in this movie - GOTCHA!. This is the ONLY cliché the director left out!Awful, awful, awful movie. Spending an afternoon plucking your short hairs or counting your body moles would be time far better spent.
LeonLouisRicci This Direct to Video rides the trend of the teaming of two, count 'em, Action Stars for the price of one and it is better than one would expect. It looks pretty good and shows-off some stylish non Action camera work and a strong if padded plot that is not bad.There is enough here for Fans and maybe even enough for Slummers who dropped in just to make fun but found it reluctantly enjoyable. The Story Thread keeps things strung together as it weaves familiar fisticuffs and gun battles together with some mildly interesting supporting Characters of note.This is probably as good as this type of thing gets and while it is attractive in a wet, dull, and gray way, it may have included one meaningless sub-plot too many (the wife or the brother, take your pick). But in the end it succeeds in its business to kick, punch, and shoot its way onto your Big-Screen TV with just a little more added story and umph than expected.
