Recoil (I) (2011)
3/10
Very generic action movie...
10 January 2016
This movie might have been even more enjoyable if they had Steven Seagal in the lead instead of Steve Austin. It seems like your average Seagal movie; an ex-police officer seeking justice against those who took away his family.

What made the movie somewhat watchable was the biker gang and those portraying the gang members, as well as Danny Trejo as the president of the biker gang. Oh, and Lochlyn Munro walking around as an FBI agent and flinging one-liners all over the place.

This is your typical one-man-takes-down-a-hundred-opponents type of action movie. And not a very interesting one at that. It offers nothing to the genre that hasn't been seen or done before.

There were some wonderful bad things in the movie too, of course, aside from the fact that Steve Austin was set to be the lead actor... Yes, actor! For example, you knew that it was a Hollywood car that exploded upon impact with a solid object. No, cars don't explode like that, only in American movies. And when Drayke said "take me there" to go to the location of his dead brother, he was seen in the lead of the motorcycle gang. Wouldn't you assume he would be tailing behind whomever was to take him there? Tch, tch...

If you enjoy action movies stay well clear of this boring movie. Your time and money is better spent elsewhere. Funny how a title this unfitting for a movie has absolutely no bang. Even if you sat with your eyes closed throughout the entire movie you would still be up to speed, because the movie is that scripted, generic and predictable.
