Surprisingly Hackman is a karate champion, but he actually doesn't really participate in a lot of the action in the film.

This is a minor problem, and with the rest of the movie being of higher quality than usual, its not much of a complaint. He can be slightly annoying, and the fact that he is playing an A list movie star, it would have been better to get someone that has movie star quality. The only drawback is Cody Hackman, as the film star that has to work with Purcell as part of his Community Service. WWE superstar Trish Stratus still looks great and gets a number of decent action scenes, and Vinnie Jones is thrown in for good measure. Danny Glover gets limited screen time for his usual too old for this role. Stephen Lang is great as the villain, although could have had a bit more screen time. Performance wise, Purcell is his usual reliable self as the lead. Luckily there are no such drawbacks this time round, with great production values, and excellent action scenes, this is definitely one of the better DTV actioners I have seen in a while. This may be down to the fact that they have mainly been directed or produced by Uwe Boll. No fault to him, as he is always a welcome presence, but his films of late have been poor. Originally I was a bit apprehensive, as star Dominic Purcell has not got the best track record. The only thing missing was an appearance from Jeff Wincott. Felt like I was watching an old PM Entertainment movie. I originally heard of Gridlocked through the website Twitch, who had said that it was like a throw back to 90's action movie. If my positive review still hasn't persuaded anyone to seek it out, three words: Funky Cold Medina! The movie boasts an amazing cast in addition to Purcell and Hackman which includes Stephen Lang, Trish Stratus, Danny Glover, Vinnie Jones, and Saul Rubinek. Still, Ungar and Robol do great work in balancing the two, though a small amount of the jokes fell flat for me. The film may deliver plenty of laughs, but the violence and action does get gruesome and realistic. This highly lovable throwback by writer/director Allan Ungar, who co-wrote the film with Rob Robol, wears its obvious influences on its sleeves, but has enough original and modern charms of its own. The gruff, no-nonsense Hendrix and the smart-ass, wise cracking Walker definitely butt heads, but are forced to put their differences aside when a criminal attack occurs at a police station. After a recent run-in with law, Walker has been sentenced to ride along with a police officer instead of doing real time in prison. The film stars Dominic Purcell as David Hendrix, a hardcore, highly skilled detective forced to assist Hollywood actor Brody Walker (Cody Hackman) with his court-mandated sentence. Fans of that era/genre will no doubt love this movie and all that it has to offer. if they don't kill each other first.Īs a fan of 80s and 90s action movies, I had an absolute blast with this movie. Now, Hendrix and Walker must band together with the remaining survivors to fight back and keep the mercenaries from overtaking the compound.

But all of that changes when a police training facility comes under attack by a team of ruthless mercenaries led by the mysterious Korver. Pampered and irritating, Walker is the last thing Hendrix needs. As if things couldn't get any worse, he's been forced to babysit Brody Walker, a hard partying celebrity that's been sent on a mandatory ride along as part of his probation. Despite being highly trained and competent, his efforts have been reduced to routine tasks for the NYPD. Gridlocked (2015) is considered one of the best Action movie in India and around the world.įormer SWAT leader David Hendrix is down on his luck and has failed to receive medical clearance after taking a bullet on the job. Dominic Purcell,Cody Hackman,Saul Rubinek,Stephen Lang are the starring of this movie.
