Dolph does it again! Though maybe never a 'classic' movie, it is a classic 'Dolph' movie! A little more sophisticated than his earlier 'shoot'em up, close quarter combat, car crashes, lots of grunting fighting noises' films, though there is still plenty of the above. Synopsis: Dolph plays an outstanding police SWAT team member in a unit that has, unfortunately, several dirty members about whom Dolph is about to testify before the Grand Jury. Dolph has adversaries trying to kill him him, some expected & known, and some unexpected & not known. The local police, the FBI, and the CIA are all involved. The FBI is dirty (Considering the current state of the corrupt FBI this hits close to home!) and allied with the dirty SWAT team member drug laundering scheme. No skin & very little profanity so it is much more family friendly film. Also, there is some moral/socially redeeming quality to the movie in that Dolph is a 'good guy' who faces struggles/adversity with perseverance and eventually wins in the end. A good 'light' film to enjoy.

Dolph Lundgren is one of my favorite B movie actors, so when I got a chance to see his movie "Direct Action", you can be sure that I took it. In this movie, Lundgren is in fine form, giving a likable and relaxed performance, and giving it his all in the action sequences. Unfortunately, the script and direction he was working with are disappointments. The script has a number of plot holes (if Lundgren's character wants to testify, why doesn't the prosecution give him some protection?), and has a number of twists and turns that will be very familiar to those well versed in B movies. And while Lundgren gives it his all in the action sequences, the action is directed and edited in a way that never rises above routine. The most striking thing about the entire enterprise is its strange setting. While Canadian director Sidney J. Furie makes no attempt to hide Canadian license plates as well as Canadian businesses like Mr. Sub and Swiss Chalet, at the same time there are a number of references to American things like the FBI and the CIA!

Dolph Lungren plays an honest cop who is going to testify about police corruption on the force. First, he has to drive around a rookie woman police officer. Will they spend the rest of the day running from the corrupt cops wanting him dead? Of course, they will. Will they get into a lot of gun fights where everybody shoot at everybody else? Of course they will. Does this make for a pretty clichéd but pretty entertaining movie? You bet it does. I have definitely seen much worse films than this one. Sure it is predictable (is it a coincidence that one of the dirty cops looks like Al Pacino in Serpico) but it is fun to watch. You are not going to watch Oscar winning stuff, but it is worth your time to rent this movie out.

If you like 80s action movies, this will feel about right. This has some great gun fighting and hand to hand combat scenes, and I really like the camera work in this film. The surroundings of the city are beautiful. Dolph is great in this film, and you can tell he had a lot of fun. Polly Shannon is a great rookie cop, and she made the movie even more entertaining. Conrad Dunn is a great main villain, and really should've been in more films at the time. He has the perfect voice and look of a crook, but he looks cool at the same time. The soundtrack is also a highlight, very well done and fits the style of the film well. The ending made me smile, and was worth getting to in my opinion. The production may not be the most elaborate, but there's a lot of neat guns in this movie I don't see very often in films like these. All in all, if you're a serious Dolph Lundgren fan, a fan of old school action films, or just like lower budget action movies... this is definitely one worth checking out.

This movie was inspired by the Rampart scandal, which refers to widespread corruption in the CRASH (or Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums) anti-gang unit of the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) Rampart Division in the late 1990s. It doesn't change the fact that this is another brainless action movie about corruption in police. The plot has been done countless times before with better results. The script is full of clichés and twists that you can see coming a mile away. "Direct action" looks extremely cheap. There's no interesting locations. All you'll get is residential areas and some abandoned factories. Funny thing - The opening credits feature all the fight sequences and action stunts that you will later see again in the movie. Also at the beginning of the movie, a thug that Lundgren beats up can be seen wearing a Punisher t-shirt emblazoned with the famous skull design. Dolph Lundgren played the title role in "The Punisher". All in all it's a typical cheap direct-to-video-action movie. Better watch paint dry. I give it 1/10.

Dolph Lundgren is back with Direct Action. Dolph plays Frank Gannon a Veteran cop who is assigned a new partner played by Polly Shannon the Two now must fight a group of corrupt cops drug lords and other scum. Direct action is fun film that doesn't take itself to seriously. Other reviews say that the action is boring I thought the action was Cool and stylish with well staged shoot outs and cool fight scenes And good characters Dolph's character is a hard as nails chewing gum Loving cop who is incorruptible and Conrad Dunn is a good bad guy. To round up the review Direct action is a cool little action flick To watch on a boring rainy day 9 out of 10.

direct action is the best Dolph lundgren vehicle since hidden agenda, and although it isn't as good or smart as that movie, direct action delivers just pure fighting and gun battles that lets Dolph do what Dolph does best, kicks ass, there is some kind of plot about police corruption but i wont go into it, but as an action film this delivers the goods, sure it isn't a masterpiece and the low budget shows at times, the amount of quality action on show here, more than makes up for it. all in all a solid Dolph lundgren movie that delivers what wev'e all come to expect from the action star and he does disappoint here

I was looking forward to Dolph's latest effort especially after waiting over a year since his last release, the completely underwhelming DETENTION. This one seems to be a return to the films made in the mid-to-late 90s by say Dolph's compatriots like Steven Seagal, Sly Stallone, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. The story here is basic, a cop confronting corruption in his unit, out to stop them and to stop them from either killing him or discrediting him and clearing his name after the bad guys set him up. And here Dolph resorts several times to using the karate and related martial arts that he has not used much if at all say in his last picture. And it is welcome too. The fight scenes, to their credit, are more realistic than most depicted, and are not very long, although that fact contributes to the realism. Dolph takes on several creeps giving a store owner some crap and takes them out with either a kick, or a punch or a combination of the two. The guys don't say fight for five minutes straight, for example, although I wouldn't mind seeing such fights even though they are never all that real but they are helpful in moving the plots of these flicks along. The action is better here than in the usual Dolph flicks and seems more realistic than say in DETENTION, with both sides getting into the action, Dolph getting hit at one point; and all are better staged and edited, and they look like they fit with the story instead of simply existing. The time factor also helps move it along with Dolph having only one! day to train his new partner, find out who is behind the corruption and to foil the perpetrators. It is good to see Dolph back and I look forward to the next one.
