Direct Contact

Dolph Lundgren is 50 years old and still making action movies, following in the footsteps of his old rival Sylvester Stallone. Direct Contact stars Dolph Lundgren (aka: Ivan Drago) as an ex-special forces imprisoned in Bulgaria for weapons smuggling. He has the chance to leave when he is asked to find a young American girl and bring her back to the States. After finding out that there is MUCH more involved in just a simple rescue, he ends up helping save the girls life and falling in love at the same time.... Total action movie and lots of explosions, shootings, car chases, blood, and broken bones.
One thing that was stupid was the fact that Dolph (playing as an American) rescued this 20 year old girl and she fell in love with him....he's 50.That kind of stuff usually only works in Europe. Maybe it was to give the old creepy, single 50+ year old guys that I see at my gym some hope that with all their prowling, they TOO can find a young girl that would be attracted to them. I guess this could be the case if they are marketing this filme to the people that are Dolph Lundgren's age and desperately went out searching for this DVD when they heard he had made a new film...... or maybe not. Hopefully, with this film being entirely shot in the ''beautiful" country of Bulgaria, it will give their horrid economy some kind of tourist boost. Overall though, this movie is a fast paced film with non-stop action. Don't go watch it for the romance, comedy or potential movie quotes.... In this entire film Dolph Lundgren never says one line that can compare to, '' I will crush you!'' or "If he dies, he dies.''
