Exit Wounds (2001) 6/10

Starring : Steven Seagal, DMX, Isaiah Washington
Director : Andrzej Bartkowiak
Running Time : 100 mins

Police Officer Orin Boyd (Seagal) is transferred to one of the worst precincts in Detroit, only to discover that some of his fellow officers are providing street grade heroin to local drug dealers and making a hell of a profit from it, so he sets out using his own unique brand of crime solving to stop these criminals in their tracks.

This starts off how you’d imagine a Seagal movie to start, with lots of fighting and explosions, but soon the budget runs out and the writers are forced to rely on a storyline. Seagal plays a borderline Dirty Harry rip-off who basically hits people until he gets results. This is considered one of Seagal’s better movies, though personally I wasn’t a huge fan, but Anthony Anderson does manage to lighten things up without going to over the top.
