Product Description
From Amazon.com
One can always count on Steven Seagal to act as the repository of yesterday's action-film clichés, and Exit Wounds is yet another case in point. Seagal plays Detroit cop Orin Boyd, a lone wolf lawman who gets in the middle of his precinct's losing battle against police corruption. Taking on a powerful but crooked cop named Montini (David Vadim)--who is busy making deals with a rich gangster (DMX)--Boyd soon sends fists and feet flying while Tom Arnold provides the comic relief. Director Andrzej Bartkowiak surely had less fun guiding Seagal through slow-motion fight sequences than he did Jet Li in Romeo Must Die, but as compensation he gets to work with the mesmerizing DMX, who looks as though he has leading-man possibilities. Plenty of gratuitous gore, awful cop banter, and miles of cleavage courtesy of Jill Hennessy, who plays Boyd's tough-as-nails boss. --Tom Keogh

strong characters and Segal 's character is more grounded in reality than usual
Aug 20 2007
Format:DVD
for a movie with Steven Seagal in it,this is quite good.mainly because
Seagal is not the main attraction.he shares that billing with DMX and
there is a roster of actors in supporting roles.this film has more
realism than any lone Seagal movie.Seagal is usually shown as an almost
indestructible "Superman".he almost always comes out of a fight with
little to no physical evidence of the fight having occurred.in this
film,Seagal's character has some real fights on his hands.as for
DMX,based on this film,he is really talented and has great charisma to
boot.i think he is more than equal to the task at hand.he probably
could have carried this movie on his own.another good thing about this
movie is that there is some character development happening.the bad
guys aren't just used as plot devices.at least i didn't think so.for
me,"Exit Wounds" is an entertaining 4/5

Once again, Tom Arnold provides comic relief.

I have to admit, I was half looking forward to this, and half not. Steven Seagal doesn't really do anything for me - whereas DMX does. Plus, Steven really annoys me, as he tends to speak really quietly, in a monotone voice, so you turn up the sound to hear exactly what he's saying - and then you have to quickly turn it down as guns start shooting, etc.
Once again, he plays a character that starts investigating things that he's never really been assigned too, and no one can stop him sticking his nose in, cos he's so threatening. He looks like a big softie, quite literally. Teamed up with a cop who can't decide whether he's good or bad - and is the first to befriend him in the new precinct - is really predictable.
What is the good thing about this movie? (Apart from DMX obviously) That a lot of the characters are from Cradle 2 The Grave - but without Steven Seagal. You've got DMX (he was better in Cradle 2 The Grave), Anthony Anderson, Tom Arnold, and probably a couple of others.
The whole story is about good cops/bad cops. And which one DMX fits into, is never really explained. (Although he's not a cop) You can never decide whether he's on the good side or the bad side.
The extras are pretty sparse on the DVD. You've got a behind the scenes tour thing with Anthony Anderson, a trailer (whoopee!), and a music video. The music video was quite impressive and surprising! DMX has 'covered' (and when I say covered, I mean sings the chorus, and then raps right the way through it) "Ain't No Sunshine", originally done by Bill Withers, and infamously known in the Notting Hill movie. While it's a good version, it's not really DMX to be covering or sampling such a song, that's so well known in another movie.
The same as at the end of Cradle 2 The Grave, Tom Arnold and Anthony Anderson, have this little scene all to themselves, which is apparently ad-libbed. (Whatever). However, it's not as funny as their scene in Cradle 2 The Grave, and gets tedious after a while.
So I've given this movie a pretty good rating, haven't I? So I've now seen two Steven Seagal movies, and I own one of them. D'ya think I can get a break? I own one, that's enough for me!
Not a thinking man's movie, but that's ok

Ok guys, for all those who thinks "Exit Wounds" is a bad movie, here's the deal; it stars Steven Seagal, you know what you're getting your self into. Why is everyone so down on this movie? Is it the "Godfather"? No. It is what it is; it aims low, but it hit's it's target. Seagal plays Detriot police officer Boyd who is transfered into a new department rife with police corruption. And so a couple of broken wrists later, Seagal is in the middle of cops he can't trust and gangsters with deeper motives. This is Seagal's best movie in a long (LONG) time. He has lost a few pounds (though he still looks pretty hefty) and quit wearing the East Asian wardrobe, which was a step in the right diection. Another right move was casting DMX. I am not a fan of his rap music, but he certainly has charisma here. I was duely impressed. Jill Hennessy is around as Boyd's commanding officer. Hennessy is a good actress (look at "Law and Order" or "Crossing Jordon"), but unfortunately she isn't givin a lot to do here; just look pretty so Seagal can gawk at her. One other note worthy cast member is Tom Arnold. Thankfully he is not on screen that much, so he dosn't have time to wear his welcome out. His talk show material during the ending credits is funny, maybe; depending on your sense of humor he may be hit and miss. The action scenes are fast, exciting, and brutial; lots of gun shot wounds (hense the title) and bone crunching martial arts moves. A word on the fighting choreography; it seems a little fake to me; too much slow motion for my taste. Like I said, it isn't high art, but it is fast paced action thriller with lots of cool fights and lots of testostorone.

Exit Wounds
This is not the typical Steven Seagal film. His fighting style is different. Recall the fights when Seagal simply broke an arm and the fight was over? Read more

Simply The Best
Exit Wounds is simply one of the best Seagal movies of all time. Far better than Half Past Dead. DMX shocked me with his acting in this movie. Read more

Awesome flick
So action packed and really shows how good of an actor DMX can be. I never really like Seagal movies, mostly because all he does is beat people up. Read more

How 'bout that for Steven's comeback?
The plot is just a weird, pseudo-intellegent cops-goin'-after-drug-dealers-and-bad-cops-and-kickin'-alotta-[butt]-as-they-go, but Steven Seagal is why you watch it. Read more
