It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Exit Wounds is a cheesy action film starring Steven Seagal as a lone wolf type. He saves the life of the Vice President from a right wing militia and for his efforts he gets demoted to a dangerous precinct in downtown Detroit as well as taking anger management classes. Once there, he finds corruption and crooked cops begins to take things in his own hands to sort out the streets. Tom Arnold provides light relief as a chat show host.Once again we see a Seagal action film with a liberal message and I guess the mystery of the head honcho of the crooked cops is rather predictable. Seagal by this time was looking over the hill, but its still a decent if dumb kick ass action film.

Orin Boyd (Seagal) is a Detroit cop who doesn't follow rules.After he saved the Vice President by violating every order he received he is transferred to one of the worst precincts in the city.There he quickly encounters some corrupt cops selling heroin to drug dealers.The problem is, it's very difficult to tell who is the bad guy and who you can trust....Seagal made a really welcome comeback with this excellent movie, which is flashily edited, well produced and wholly unbelievable, but from the producer of The Matrix and Die Hard, what are you expecting.It's Seagals last great film and probably his best performance as the cop who is the one who uncovers a plot after only being there a day.DMX pops up to bring the hip hop generation to the theatre, and he manages to give an okay performance.The fight scenes use a lot of wires, but it's great to see Seagal doing his stuff, and especially seeing him face off with Jai White during the finale.Arnold and Anderson nearly ruin the whole movie, and they have the Chris Tucker In the Fifth Element effect whenever they are in the movie. Luckily it's not for long.It's all sully stuff, but it works, and is very enjoyable...

First of all, I won't tell you what this movie is about or how its plot develops, as in the title says, I'll tell you why you should watch this movie. Second of all, only watch this movie if you really like action and you don't bother about some "impossible" things during the scenes. OK, no let's go. This movie just show you the best things you'll like in a action movie, there are guns, fights, cars, women, drugs, people getting beat up, more fights and more people getting beat up! Steven Seagel is just the perfect action hero, he gets few punches but can kick everyone's asses ten times before they fell on the ground dead. Yes my friend, this movie is the perfect mix of the good old careless fighting with a interesting plot in the end. So, If you like action, if you like to see Segal kicking the crap of everyone, just watch this brilliant film.

Don't you hate it when the hero and his mate have the bad guys held up and then the hero's mate swings his gun round and points it at the hero, and it turns out he's one of the bad guys after all? Most recently seen in high profile in SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER Indiana Jones 4? Well guess what? Spielberg didn't think of it. And neither did the people behind Exit Wounds - it was already old hat when they came up with the idea of trotting it out towards the end of this rather routine Seagal vehicle.Seagal is a problem cop, transferred to a problem precinct where the main activity is playing "Guess who's not corrupt". We have a black crime boss who has a monumentally irritating comedy fat black sidekick, plus Tom Arnold in screaming over-the-top mode (is he ever in any other mode?).You may come to the conclusion at this point that I found this movie rather tiresome. If Seagal butt-kicking action is your thing - and it's OK, that's why I watched the movie - there's some of that in it, but this film severely lacked anything approaching originality - it was simply tired old formula from start to finish. And not even a good example of the formula, either.
