I am a Dolph Lundgren fan, a big enough one that I am often forgiving of any shortcomings in his movies. But with "Direct Contact", I find it hard to express any enthusiasm. Oh sure, the production values are decent, the movie moves at a fairly brisk clip, Lundgren seems comfortable in his surroundings, and the movie makes any excuse to showcase some action. And the bad guy has a very memorable exit. Yet at the end I felt underwhelmed. The plot is nothing new, and the action isn't very exciting. In fact, the action has more than its share of incompetent editing, showing things that come out of thin air or not showing the end of an action sequence. And I found it hard to believe that nobody of authority was taking action about the bad guys killing scores of innocent people and blowing up buildings! Not the worst Lundgren movie, and far from being the worst movie ever made, but you can safely skip this one, even if you are a Lundgren fan.
