Curapedi 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.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

brandonleeeberhart Here we have the film Lethal Weapon except it is not that film, but similar.In this filmed story about humans, Dolph plays a guy who has a friend and they both watch people fall on horizontal bullets.Thus we can surmise that Dolph can bend space and bullets to his will Lo and Behold I said this years ago and no one believed me so guess what Mrs. Wisowski? (my 9th grade Engrish teacher) BOOM I win and your life is pointless.Pointless. Like a triangle.Johnny Five/5

Maziun Dolph Lundgren ("Rocky 4") and Louis Gossett Jr ("Officer and gentleman") reunite. After fun action movie "Punisher" this stinky little thriller is massive disappointment. Robert Cettl argues in his 2009 book "Terrorism in American cinema: an analytical filmography, 1960-2008" that the film reveals an alarmingly realist insight into US-Middle Eastern politics and terrorism since the 2000s, dealing with a al-Qaeda-esque terrorist organization and the conspiracy theories that some believe the US government is using the Middle East as a cover-up. Maybe it's true , maybe not. The movie still sucks.Lundgren wanted this movie to be different than his earlier movies. I really understand the need to make something else than action movie , I really do. However Lundgren simply isn't convincing as a journalist , much less as a journalist that can't fight (it's simply unbelievable that someone looking like Lundgren wouldn't know how to fight). Lundgren is also not bad action movie star , but when you put him in a role that REALLY requires acting skills (like the one here) he will be painless to watch. Louis Gossett Jr is here reliable as always.The plot here is incredibly simplistic and predictable. It's annoying that "Cover up" never really explains why and how something are happening here. There is very little action and it's definitely forgettable. Only the suspenseful climax with ambiguous ending is somewhat memorable."Cover up" is slow , dull , actionless and just plain bad. I give it 1/10.

Frank Markland Dolph Lundgren and Louis Gossett Jr reunite (I'm guessing because after The Punisher, there was a huge demand to see Ivan Drago team up with Chappy Sinclair to beat on more bad guys.)in Cover-Up a movie about a chemical weapon being taken by terrorists who then look to use this mysterious chemical to wipe out fifty thousand people during Good Friday. However there is a conspiracy in the works...in that conspiracy lies in the fact that for some unfathomable reason Louis Gossett Jr and Dolph Lundgren agreed to be in this lame thriller. Yes i'm saying this material is below even Dolph Lundgren. I had recently discussed this movie with E-Filmcritic writer David Corneilus who wrote an article about Oscar winners who should send back their gold statue, naming Louis Gossett Jr as a worthy contender for the fact that he was in Firewalker with Chuck Norris, The Punisher with Dolph Lundgren (Which even though how fun it is, it is beneath Gossett's talent), Iron Eagle (Likewise) and Toy Soldiers with Keith Coogan. I reminded him of this movie which I said he had actually worked twice with Dolph Lundgren. His reply was of "YIKES, forgot about that one, for good reason." Yes indeed.I had seen Cover-Up back when it came out, back when I was 18 and for the most part didn't remember it leaving much of an impression in one way or another. Now years later on rewatch, all one can say is how truly grotesque the movie is in it's ineptitude. Part of the problem is that it has Dolph Lundgren. I know someone might get the impression that am taking a swing on an obvious target but I do want to say that Lundgren has always been far more likable in presence than Seagal. Cover-Up has Lundgren basically run around wussified and not even once throwing a punch until near the end of the movie. It is nothing short of hilarious when Lundgren tries hard to convey emotion in which he flexes his eyebrows and speaks in the same monotone he did in any other movie he was in. Indeed Lundgren seems half asleep the whole time, even when being interrogated by Louis Gossett Jr and he won an Oscar for playing a drill instructor. Then of course there is Louis Gossett Jr who plays the role so by the numbers you could intertwine this with any other movie he has done. Although Gossett Jr manages to provide an unintentional laugh in how he goes off in a huge speech about "Not starting your own revolutions as you see FIT!" It is a parade of bad acting in which Gossett Jr comes off the best and Lundgren coming off second best. (Not good) The whole movie itself is just a bunch of useless talk about who is planning on killing whom, despite the fact we know all of this and in its content the movie fails to really come up with a credible reason of what is going on and what the bad guy truly wants to accomplish. In other words it is slow, dull and just plain bad. People rack on The Punisher that starred both Lundgren and Gossett but at least that movie moved. Cover-Up just remains inert in the moronic plot threads it weaves. The tag-line of this clunker says "If the lies don't kill you the truth will..." Well if the truth doesn't kill you, watching this movie will.* out of 4-(Bad)

callanvass This was a great Lundgren film, however i did not care for the abrupt ending at all. There were a couple twists that shocked the hell out of me, and didn't see coming what so ever, however it ended too quickly, and it seemed, that they were rushing things the last little bit. All the characters were great, and Lundgren , and Louis Gossett Jr. are absolutely fantastic in it, and i cared for both there characters. The Directing is very good. Manny Coto, does a very good job here, creating suspense, lots of action, good camera angles, and he kept the film at a fast pace!, solid job. Thereis a bit of blood. We get some very bloody gunshot wounds, a couple stabbings with swords, and a impaling. The Acting is excellent!. Dolph Lundgren is AMAZING as always, and this is one of his best performances. He is very believable,really likable, and kicked that ass!, and his chemistry with Lisa Berkely was good. Louis Gossett Jr. is great in this, when on screen, he is a very good actor , and it was good to see him again!. Lisa Berkely was hot, and did her job pretty well, and her chemistry with Lundgren was good. John Finn is also very good here (that's all i'm gonna say). Overall I highly recommend, this film! ***1/2 out of 5
