Direct Contact (2009)

Everyone walks throw the film uncaring-but if you accept that this is an okay tale as mindless as they come perfect for 3 am

[5/10 · 14 April 2009]

Dolph Lundgren walks through an okay action film about a US Special Forces agent taken out of a Russian prison to rescue a kidnapped girl, who really isn't kidnapped.(Don't think about it, it makes no sense what so ever) His rescue stirs up a hornet's nest of danger - such is the majority of the movie. Good by the numbers movie that somehow works despite the fact that everyone is clearly moving by the numbers. You can see the disinterest on the faces of many of the actors, but you still are engaged with what's happening. Is it a great film. No. Honestly its probably not even a good one, but it is the sort of film that you'll put on, or better catch on one of the minor cable stations at 3AM and enjoy in a completely mindless sort of a way. Yea, I know that's not a ringing endorsement but sometimes you want to get away from high art and just veg as mindlessly as possible. For those times this fits the bill.
