Reviews Counted:63

Fresh:20

Rotten:43

Average Rating:4.4/10

Consensus: It probably goes without saying that Exit Wounds is loaded with plotholes and bad dialogue. Critics also note that Seagal has aged rather badly.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for strong violence, language and some sexuality/nudity

Runtime: 1 hr 41 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:Mar 16, 2001 Wide

Box Office: $51,408,486

He knows what's right and what's wrong, and like Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan, he doesn't mind leaving a little destruction in his wake as long as he gets the job done. But after saving the vice president from a militia group in a high-tech bridge battle that features the requisite car explosions and plenty of fancy weaponry, he gets busted down to a low-rent neighborhood where he is soon playing crossing guard. But he has a nose for trouble, so when he begins to suspect that some of the cops in his department are getting down and dirty with drug kingpin Latrell Walker (DMX), he is ready to take action--even if he has to go it alone, against the orders of his commander (Jill Hennessy). Cinematographer-turned-director Andrzej Bartkowiak (ROMEO MUST DIE) shows off his keen eye in EXIT WOUNDS as Seagal and DMX battle it out on the Detroit streets. The pounding hip-hop soundtrack (featuring a number of contributions from DMX and Drag-On, who also appears in the film) and fabulous stunts, keep the excitement moving at a fast pace as the corruption--and the body count--continues to mount. But Anthony Anderson, playing Walker's right-hand man, T.K., nearly walks away with the film, supplying comic relief even through much of the closing credits. [More]

Orin Boyd is a cop who "doesn't obey the rules" and although his boss considers him to be "one of the best", he must be transferred to one of the roughest precincts in town.

...a refreshingly action-packed film that's distractingly enjoyable.

With a plot that can be roughly described as Serpico for people who never outgrew The A-Team, Seagal beats and bangs up Detroit single-handedly.

Anyone who experienced Seagal's films when he was in his prime will know that he is to acting ability what Robin Cook is to personal magnetism.

The film does exhibit a major problem typical of book adaptations; it's overburdened with plot and supporting characters.

It's rumored the actors were paid for this. You don't need to.

Seagal -- who turns 50 in a few weeks -- has been inactive for the past few years, and it shows.

Steven Seagal is funnier by accident than most comedians are on purpose.

Seagal is...just as quiet, just as tough, just as slow and methodical, and just as weird as ever.

May have helped the Buddha-like Seagal get back on the right path, career-wise, but I ask everyone--is that really a good thing?
