This is what happens when nobody involved gives a damn. I mean, I like Lundgren but this film is an unbelievable piece of crap. Just because something is direct-to-DVD it doesn't have to be this bad. There's no writing and directing here, it's just Nu Image cranking out Ed-Woo-style crap to keep their Bulgarian studio busy. Really it's that bad. And don't get me started on the actors, but why should they be better than the material they serve. Poor Lundgren is sleepwalking through this, probably just thinking about the paycheck and his own directing efforts, which are much better. Stay clear of this stinker by all means, watching it numbs the brain and hurts the eyes

It is insane what some actors agree to in order to get a paycheck. Has Dolph fallen on hard times? How many years has it been since he was in a semi-decent film? One can only hope that a film will come along to resurrect him as the star he used to be. If Rourke's and Travolta's careers could be saved when all hope seemed lost, why not Lundgren's? Direct Contact is beyond awful and should be avoided at all costs. There is no acting, plot or direction. There is no continuity. Even those Bulgarian extras should feel shame for being in something like this. Somewhere in that mindscape that is cult film stardom, Ivan Drago, the Punisher and Sgt. Scott of the US Marines are weeping tears of blood.

I don't comment often but this rating has to be brought down fast, do not waste your time and money on this movie! The poorest editing you'll ever see. Scenes are catastrophically poorly executed, the destruction doesn't even make sense when entire buildings are destroyed in an effort to capture one or two people who inexplicably remain in the buildings while the threat is pending? Car chases where the second passenger is missing in most of the scenes. The plot is so drab it will make you wish you were playing solitaire instead. The acting is atrocious and the "action" scenes aren't even believable. Slaughtering of innocent people throughout the movie for no reason whatsoever, what would the city smell like? Soldiers who can barely move right, let alone make us believe they are in the police or the military. Careless producing and directing. How can someone be shot at so many times at so many angles and still get away, it's bad enough in good movies but this is too much, or should I say far too little. Even my twelve year old son is appalled. The main actor doesn't even come across to be the trained man he is supposed to be. I want my money back!

Mike Riggins (Dolph Lundgren), a former U.S. special forces soldier now in a Russian prison, is sprung by a U.S. Embassey official (Michael Pare) with the condition being that Riggins must locate and bring back a kidnapped American girl (Gina May). Naturally, the Government official is all sorts of lying and Dolph's not gonna stand for it. Not to be confused with Lundgren's earlier DIRECT ACTION (2004), this Bulgaria-shot actioner showcases how average a recent Dolph direct-to-video vehicle can be when he is not at the helm. Director Danny Lerner gave the world plenty of Nu Image big monster crap as a producer and his directing credit before this being SHARKS IN VENICE. Ugh. He barely knows how to shoot an action scene and fills the film with odd plot holes that he tries to cover with some quick ADR work. Pare actually looks good for a guy who just turned 50 and his villainous character meets an explosive end (perhaps the film's best moment) during a fiery showdown in an abandoned building. Thankfully, Dolph's next two DTV projects he is handling himself.

I can't believe the low ratings and the bad reviews ! Direct Contact was better than expected and NOT bad as rating and reviews suggest. The Plot is very simple: Mike Riggins (Dolph Lundgren) must rescue Ana, an American girl that is held in a base. Mike succeed in rescuing Ana, but things are not going like expected.... Direct Contact contains the many reasons why i like action movies: Awesome main actor, simple plot, bloody violence and action, action and even more action ! The action is bloody violent (most of the bullet impacts are bloody). Dolph Lundgren delivers with it's performance and he shows that age doesn't matter if you do an action movie.

I'm a fan of Doph, but this movie was lame. It did have cool explosions and stunts, but thats it. The story is similar to The Russian Specialist, which in my opinion is far better. One thing I've come to appreciate from Danny Lerner's movies is the fact that a lot of stuff gets blown up. In my book that is a plus. In this movie the fights did not look too convincing. The Russian dude in the beginning of the film in the jail, gets his ass kicked by Dolph within the first few seconds and he just sat there and took it. I've seen the same Rusian dude in other films and he kicks ass. Dolph looks in great shape, but his moves appear slow as if the editing or choreograph was not all there. But then again, I'm not a movie maker. Dolph has been in somewhat of a slump with films like Diamond Dogs, Missionary Man, Direct Action and now this. I think the films he's directed himself are far better...

This film is amazingly stupid. It just can't be matched with Tarantino's films as the other guy commented! The film's logic is just missing.The story is for a classical old school action movie,but the realisation is so bad.Everything is chaothic and pointless. Only the action scenes are MADE good,but actually they aren't good,because they're terribly unrealistic and foolish.It reminds me only of 20/30 years old action film on which you can laugh all the time....try watching "Operation : Delta force 2" for example :D . So the movie can be fun if you understand there is nothing serious in it.I just can't understand how can people make such films in 2009...

Congratulations Dolph Lundgren you just made into the record book, with the most action packed movie ever made. They must have used a whole warehouse full of ammo and fuel just for this movie, tons of explosions and firepower used in this movie. Lots of gore scenes and fights non stop action, if you like action this is it. Enough said!!! Well Dolph does a lot of running, a lot of chasing, I think the whole idea of the director was just to make an action movie and not he succeed. I gave a 7/10 because i like action but just wish there was more to the story, more mystery and develop the characters better, Dolph is good.
