This is a fun movie. If you love action movies you'll love this. But, I found the death of the Commander (Jill Hennessey) a little out of place. They could have used this to create good ending. However since they'd written a boyfriend into this movie they couldn't get Seagal into a love situation with Jill. So this isn't a guy beats em all guy gets girl movie. It's a guy gets em, girl dies guy and guy kills em all movie. I just didn't like that at all. They'd built a love interest and they didn't know where to go with it and they killed her off. 5/10 Quality: 5/10 Entertainment: 7/10 Replayable: 6/10

Another ‘original' storyline for Seagal. He loses his badge for being a rebel cop in Detroit, and gets assigned to the worst district in Detroit. (Under a smoking hot sergeant….yeah right! Hot WHITE woman running the worst crime district in Detroit!) Of course, Seagal cracks a huge drug case. And, of course, Seagal still finds a way to shoot 250 rounds out of a handgun, without ever reloading! DMX should stick to what he does SECOND WORST, rapping! F

Besides the usual banal fighting scenes and car chases the story of this movie brings nothing new. It's the ordinary story about good cops against bad cops. And it's a men's movie. There's no love scene or affair involved and the only woman who takes part in the story, the glamorous police chief, plays a much secondary part. It's a movie you may see if you just haven't anything better to do. It may keep u entertained for 2 hours then.

but this one is... (a 4-letter word should stand here)...very bad, and I am trying to be gentle here. What on earth did they think? A terrible plot, combined with your usual "special" effects and Steven Seagal trying to act... Mistakes that a junior cinematographer could easily avoid, and Andrzej Bartkowiak has a very respectable list of major releases to back him up. So why do we see the van with the doors ripped, then locked again, then wide open, then shut, then the van is on fire, then it is not and so on? Let's conclude. The bad: the plot, mediocre effects, profanity in directing and editing, Steven Seagal trying to act (I already said that, I know)... The good: Anthony Anderson and Tom Arnold, who save the day, and DMX, who succeeds not to ruin it (mainly, because anybody looks good acting side by side with Seagal). Oh, yes, I forgot - DMX's songs should be in the "good" list too. 3/10

OK, this is a Steven Segal film, but it is one of his better ones. What makes it special is the addition of DMX, Isaiah Washington, Anthony Anderson, Tom Arnold, and Eva Mendes. Put together a cast like that and you are going to have an enjoyable movie. Not Academy Award stature, but definitely bag-of-popcorn good. This is a get my brother out of jail/catch the dirty cops movie with DMX joining forces with Steven Segal. Arnold and Anderson provide the comic relief, and Mendes provides the eye candy. It'shard not to like a cast like that, and there is plenty of action, both martial arts and shootouts. The music was outstanding, too.

"EXIT WOUNDS" (Andrzej Bartkowiak, 2001) is too straight to provide us with Seagal's usual unintentionally hilarious and brutal standards. He was a more colourful character in the late 80's and early 90's who generally did his own stunts (although Under Siege 2... lol) and had one extensive wardrobe. In this film he is a better actor but lacks energy, doesn't posture so much, and his stunt doubles are just clearly not him which breaks up the continuity. The plot is not great but it moves forward fairly fast and overall I felt like I had watched a rubbish film. I don't usually get that when I watch a Seagal.

this is the only movie that i've ever seen DMX in.. it's very sad to hear he's in jail now,, he's a great rapper, and apparently a decent actor also,, he did very well in this movie opposite Seagal i thought,, probably one of the only people to actually give Seagal a decent "fight" scene challenging him wise, Steven gets demoted to a dirty rotten precinct in Detroit known as the 15th. there here again gets demoted down to crossing guard,, but earns his way back to solve a case of dirty cops,, DMX plays a guy looking to even a score with some very bad dudes.. Anthony Anderson is a laugh a minute here as a strip club owner,, the acting was very decent, and the storyline as well,, one of the better Seagal movies. look for Sunshine from DMX as the main track,, it really sets the mood for the whole movie.

Around when Exit Wounds came out Seteven Segals credibility obviously declined. Thats because Hollywood preferred pretty boys who cant do their own choreography and are overrated actors. This movie stands out from other cop movies for 2 reason. 1= Cop Corruption. Never saw it coming. 2= Its hard to tell who's on who's side. Other than Segal there are a few recognizable faces in this: Bill Duke, Micheal Jai White, Anthony Anderson, Tom Arnold, DMX and Eva Mendez. The action is great. You get to see a sword fight between Micheal Jai Wite and Segal who has a black belt in kendo. Some of the sequences are a bit of a letdown: You'd kind of expect more from the Segal/MJ White sword fight and no way can DMX hold his own against Segal. Overall an awesome movie and should have been the resurrection to Steven Segals career.
