Dolph Lundgren Drips Blood
13 April 2015
Down and out in Chicago, perfectly-proportioned Dolph Lundgren (as Nick Gunar) appears to be living in squalor. He drinks heavily, wears dusty socks and saves old French Fries. His blond hair and muscles look amazingly well-kept, compared to his home. Looking no worse for wear, Mr. Lundgren is offered an exciting job by director Perry Lang (as Lyle) and TV favorite Thomas Gibson (as Warren). There will be a lot of blood and violence, however. Lundgren goes to a very picturesque tropical island. This setting is the main strength in "Men of War", if you're not watching for deadly violence. And, there's a bit of pole dancing, to break up the action...

The main villain is Trevor Goddard (as Keefer), who starts his first fight with Lundgren by kissing him. That could be a cultural thing, but the way Mr. Goddard caresses Lundgren's shoulders after the fight looks like he wants to take it to another level. The other interesting thing about this fight is that Lundgren is not allowed to hit back, so Goddard just beats him until he drips blood. In a later re-match, Lundgren gets to punch Goddard. Lundgren and the men get to show their well-developed chests throughout, and there is one brief side look at a female chest that is a relative match for Lundgren's pecs. Mostly, this is a collection of fights, gunfire, gore and explosions.
