Exit Wounds (2001)

That was an excellent one.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

Exit Wounds is a good flashy action film that was released in 2001 by warner bros. This film has a good cast of the following actors Steven Seagal, DMX, Isaiah Washington, Tom Arnold, Michael Jai White, Anthony Anderson and Bill Duke.Steven Seagal plays Orin Boyd who is a police officer that plays by the book but gets himself into trouble with his unusual methods.DMX plays Latrell Walker who is a computer genius who poises as a criminal to bust big time criminals.Isaiah Washington plays George Clark who is Orin Boyd's partner who helps Orin out along the way.Tom Arnold plays Henry Wayne a TV host who is in fact taking part in activities that could possibly ruin his career. Michael Jai White plays Lewis Strutt a corrupt police officer that is running a gang consisting of corrupt law enforces to score big time on the streets.Anthony Anderson plays T.K Johnson who is a nightclub owner who is friends with and works with Latrell Walker who in fact has the same mission as his friend.Bill Duke Plays Chief Hinges who is the police chief of the police station that Orin Boyd gets fired from.Overall this film is pretty decent all of the actors do a good job in this film and I liked the twist with DMX's character near the end of the film and I also liked how the film turned out when it was started to get a bit pointless it kicked into action. I rate this film a 7/10 because it is an entertaining film not exactly amazing but good enough to pass the time with.

Orin Boyd (Seagal) is a Detroit cop who doesn't follow rules.After he saved the Vice President by violating every order he received he is transferred to one of the worst precincts in the city.There he quickly encounters some corrupt cops selling heroin to drug dealers.The problem is, it's very difficult to tell who is the bad guy and who you can trust....Seagal made a really welcome comeback with this excellent movie, which is flashily edited, well produced and wholly unbelievable, but from the producer of The Matrix and Die Hard, what are you expecting.It's Seagals last great film and probably his best performance as the cop who is the one who uncovers a plot after only being there a day.DMX pops up to bring the hip hop generation to the theatre, and he manages to give an okay performance.The fight scenes use a lot of wires, but it's great to see Seagal doing his stuff, and especially seeing him face off with Jai White during the finale.Arnold and Anderson nearly ruin the whole movie, and they have the Chris Tucker In the Fifth Element effect whenever they are in the movie. Luckily it's not for long.It's all sully stuff, but it works, and is very enjoyable...

All Steven Seagal movies have some comedy in them.Seagal always has some funny one liners or some smart-alecky remark.Exit Wounds is I think his first film which is sort of an action/comedy.There's definitely more action but there is also more comedy than his usual films! The film also stars rapper DMX and Anthony Anderson(these two also appear together in the Jet Li films "Romeo Must Die" and "Cradle 2 The Grave").The plot features a cop who does not play by the rules and is sent to a ghetto precinct.While he is there, he tries to uncover corruption in the police force relating to drug dealers.The film is pretty interesting, it has a good plot and good acting.Overall a good Seagal movie.Some say it was his last good movie.Half Past Dead was nowhere near as good as this,I haven't seen many of his STV movies but Urban Justice & Pistol Whipped were also fairly good films.

Don't you hate it when the hero and his mate have the bad guys held up and then the hero's mate swings his gun round and points it at the hero, and it turns out he's one of the bad guys after all? Most recently seen in high profile in SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER Indiana Jones 4? Well guess what? Spielberg didn't think of it. And neither did the people behind Exit Wounds - it was already old hat when they came up with the idea of trotting it out towards the end of this rather routine Seagal vehicle.Seagal is a problem cop, transferred to a problem precinct where the main activity is playing "Guess who's not corrupt". We have a black crime boss who has a monumentally irritating comedy fat black sidekick, plus Tom Arnold in screaming over-the-top mode (is he ever in any other mode?).You may come to the conclusion at this point that I found this movie rather tiresome. If Seagal butt-kicking action is your thing - and it's OK, that's why I watched the movie - there's some of that in it, but this film severely lacked anything approaching originality - it was simply tired old formula from start to finish. And not even a good example of the formula, either.
