The Package Audience Reviews

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
jonathanmark-77048 Plot: A courier for a local crime lord must deliver a mysterious package while being chased by a horde of unusual gangsters.This was very disappointing to me, especially having Lundgren and Austin in a movie together would've been great, but the problem is the story is not very interesting, the writing is sub-par at best, the action is lackluster compared to their other films, and worst of all its just boring. Austin and Lundgren do fine with what they do, but they aren't given much along with the rest of the cast. The villains are very one note and one dimensional. I'm glad the writer would then write the John Wick films which definitely improved his writing and gave the heroes and villains depth and motivations.If you're a fan of either Lundgren or Austin, avoid it at all costs watch Hunt to Kill for Austin and Skin Trade for Dolph, they are more worth your time and they deliver what you want.
skeptic skeptical I have to wonder whether The Package (not to be confused with the feature-length film by the same name produced about twenty years earlier) was directed by an "artiste" whose area of specialization is pornography. I say this because the cartoonishness of the characters and the general stupidity of the dialogue and plot, conjoined with the stereotypical and wooden acting, typically come together in the lowest of all low-budget genres: cheap pornography. When I saw these stats, I became even more convinced that the director usually does porn:Opening Weekend: $1,095 (USA) (15 February 2013) Gross: $1,277 (USA) (15 February 2013)Seriously? How can these numbers possibly be correct? The actors all volunteered for their roles? Maybe because they are all porn stars and were hoping to break into mainstream Hollywood, if only someone in the business had the opportunity to see them in all their glory on the big screen? Well, anyway, whatever the explanation, this attempt at a movie is a very low-brow, minimal intelligence production which aspires to be a high-energy action flick but fails. Just bad. In fact, on reflection, I should probably change my rating from 2 to 1. Done.
Peter Pluymers A rather moderate B-movie. They made action movies like this in the 80' with the dozen. I think nowadays it's a new hype to gather all the old action heroes who are thinking about their retirement plan already in a movie (Other examples are Expendables and The Last stand). Dolf Lundgren still speaks as slow as a snail and Steve Austin still looks like a walking wardrobe, Louis XIV style or so.The action was sometimes very fake and the story with the blood type was far-fetched and unbelievable. Like Dolf said: "The chance of finding a match is almost non-existent ..." but accidentally Steve is in the neighborhood. And they know each other from the past ... what a coincidence.An unfortunate spectacle and probably the last feats of arms in cinematic terms of both gentlemen! PS. I've always wanted to know how the mechanism of a bowling alley worked in reality. At least something I've learned of this movie ! More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/
Bene Cumb The movies with Austin and/or Lundgren are no gems having an effect on world cinema, but, however, there are hundreds of kick-butt-and-face movies without no plot (almost). The essence of The Package is quite witty, the ending complex is versatile and includes not-so-trivial solutions - not all guilty ones get killed etc. Of course, there is ample pointless violence and reckless shooting, pre mortem reasoning, and WWE star Austin is not very credible type of caring husband. Nevertheless, you can follow the story with some interest and there are no long scenes where nothing happens; you can kill your 1,5 hours without yawning and realize that 55 years old Lundgren is still fit and often more interesting than in his youth.
