Exit Wounds Trailers

Maverick cop Orin Boyd always brings down the domestic terrorists he tracks, but he ruffles feathers with his unorthodox techniques -- and soon finds himself reassigned to the toughest district in Detroit. When he discovers a group of detectives secretly operating a drug ring, Boyd joins forces with an unlikely ally -- gangster Latrell Walker -- to bring down the rotten cops.

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
David Love The best thing about this movie is the use of James Brown's 'I feel good'. Lasted all of 30 seconds.Apart from that, you will have to endure lousy acting and mumbled dialogue by Steven Segal, rubbish music and average acting by DMX. I also found it interesting how many people in this movie (Segal included) have strange gaits. Made me think of Monty Python.On the plus side, Isaiah Washington and Tom Arnold do OK with their parts, and the photography is actually quite good.However, even if this film had been any good, the end credits would have killed it. What was that all about?
namashi_1 Andrzej Bartkowiak's 'Exit Wounds' is a Good Action-Flick, that has several merits working on its advantage.'Exit Wounds' Synopsis: Orin Boyd, a tough cop in an inner-city precinct discovers a web of dirty cops and corruption.'Exit Wounds' is explosive entertainment. It's a Razor-Sharp Action-Flick, that has Violence, Nudity & Cuss Words all over it, but that's the language, a film like this, demands. Ed Horowitz & Richard D'Ovidio's Screenplay is satisfying! Andrzej Bartkowiak's Direction is rugged. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are proper. The Action-Sequences are Marvelous!Performance-Wise: All-Time Bad-Ass Steven Seagal, gives a superb performance. DMX is routine. Isaiah Washington & Michael Jai White are effective. Bill Duke is convincing. Tom Arnold & Anthony Anderson are funny. Eva Mendes appears in a brief role. On the whole, 'Exit Wounds' works!
FlashCallahan 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...
gangstahippie 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.
