I got this as part of a special offer down at my local blockbusters. 3 ex-rental vids for 15 quid, not bad. I got two A-list films and couldn't decide on the third so I saw that this had Dolph Lundgren in and thought, "Rocky 4, that was a cool movie, I think I'll get this". I think I have seen two or three of his movies since Universal Soldier, and I must say they were a little on the stinky side, very cheap and crapply done, except for this film where he has a very big gun (literally a gun, that wasn't a knob joke).
Anyway this film, despite being a cheapo, has some class about it. Theres a pretty good script that keeps you guessing till the end and it looks pretty darn good. I thought the fight scenes were great too, Dolph was whipping out some martial arts moves, I never actually knew he was a martial artist, you would never guess. Dolph himself is quite good, I've seen worse actors on the big screen (Hayden Christianson) but he seems to have come along way since films like He-man.
Overall, I would say that if you like this sort of thriller, with a few twists and a sense of mystery, you can't go far wrong with this. You'd be better off buying it down at your local Blockbuster if they have it ex-rental, its only about a fiver on tape. 8/10
