(2013) The Package.

ACTION.

Straight-to-rental low budget feature, and not bad action vehicle for Steve Austin with a twist. He plays Tommy who's job is to retrieve money from clients, working for a guy named Big Doug (Eric Keenleyside) who's involved in the loan sharking business. Why is Tommy involved, one may want to ask. It is because his brother, Eddie (Lochlyn Munro) who's locked up in prison, stole money from Big Doug and he is basically working for him to pay it off. Anyways, the real movie doesn't start until Big Doug makes an offer to also include to completely wipe off Tommy's brother's debt to him if he were deliver "The Package" to a guy named "The German" played by Dolph Lundgren. Except that "The German" is living somewhere in B.C. Canada, which is where he would have to go out of state. It's sounds like a since, right. Wrong. The so-called "Package" is also being sought after by dangerous hired contracted killers with a twist toward the end.

Some of the action sequences are pretty good except that their is not enough of it, with the only thing that keep this film from getting a higher score is the fact that Steve Austin is always synonymous with wrestling, some of it looks too phony. I'm too tired to see him using those moves and just do other stuff which is shown little on here but not enough to give this movie a much higher rating so basically the rating is just for the few action scenes I saw as well as the unique idea.

2.5 out of 4.
