Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Dolph Lundgren plays Jack Devlin, a U.S Marshal who protects high-profile clients when it comes to a matter of security. Blackjack somehow got directed by John Woo the same man who made one of my favorite action flicks of all time 'Mission Impossible II' unfortunately this movie seems nothing like a Woo flick or even a good Dolph Lundgren movie and just once again shows you that even with the right director your movie will still suffer if the script is not where it should be and if you haven't really paid that much attention to your leads and story. (3/10)

This is definitely not one of John Woo's best movies. This made-for-TV American Canadian co-production was supposed to be a pilot for TV series under the same name with Dolph Lundgren as the star. Since the TV series were never made you can only guess how bad this movie is. It's hard to believe that Woo made this after the great "Face off". I guess Woo wanted to earn few dollars and had some spare time.The script is unoriginal , predictable , full of cliché characters and based on a nonsense that Lundgren is afraid of colour white. It's hardly the most exciting plot device in the world, because it's so stupid. This allows the movie for some laughable moments like a fight in the pool of milk. Other than that the script takes itself very seriously and there's no humor. There is no interesting villain either.The plot is silly and full of holes. The writers weren't even trying . The story is an excuse for action.The acting is lame and there is no chemistry between the characters. Lundgren tries hard , but there are serious moments when he is truly bad.The action feels uninspired. Woo is on autopilot here and If I didn't knew it was his movie , I could swear it was directed by some John Woo wannabe. The motorbike stunts are decent , but that's it. The movie was made by 10 mln of $. Where all this money go ? The whole movie feels made on very small scale.Not one of Woo's or Lundgren's finest moments. I give it 1/10.

Blackjack may not be Dolph's or John woo's best films but it is still A decent film. The only problem is it sometimes drags on a bit and the action scenes are few and far away but when the action scenes finally come they are well directed by action guru John Woo. the plot is simple Dolph plays jack Devlin who is a bodyguard trying to protect a beautiful super model who is being targeted by her homicidal ex with the help from his loyal friend's jack tries to stop the maniac and also get over a phobia of the colour white. the plot is more a more action oriented version of the bodyguard (albeit some differences) the acting is good Dolph is good as always and the main villain is very convincing. not the best actioner out there but worth to get if you are a Dolph Lundgren or John Woo fan 7 out of 10 see ya

Listen This movie is a cult, Its all about the slow motion scenes, all the unrealistic is the cream of the movie, after all its trash, but its fun. (its not like "The Killer", but still its one of the best) as other commented here, it is not the opposite of fun, this is true fun, as long as it sticks a group of friends together, everybody knows the words ' lyrics' timing and so on. in our club there are guys that imitates Dolph Lundgren eye movements and when Devlin shows up all girl shout and scream. at www.blackjack4winners.com We will have a special projection (live in one of our houses and live on the web !) every Friday evening. Ure welcome to join. John Woo rules.John.
