On Christmas Eve 1999, two employees of the New York water company fall into a long-closed tomb beneath a water main. A Native American archaeologist (Françoise Robertson) discovers that the tomb contains the bones of a Templar, a sect of religious knights charged with protecting a golden key--the key to the bottomless pit in which the Antichrist is imprisoned. She's promptly attacked by the minion of the Antichrist, an ancient demon that possesses human bodies. Just as swiftly, she's defended by a hunky contemporary Templar, played by the increasingly craggy Dolph Lundgren. They concoct a plan to sink the key into a pit of toxic waste, and take off to a storage facility on her native reservation with the demon in hot pursuit, hopping from body to body. The Minion wastes little time in getting the action under way, but there's not a lot of imagination and almost no special effects. Lundgren intones such statements as "There is no joy in sin" and "Every human being I touch, I may have to kill," while a heavy-metal guitar wails on the soundtrack. Something of a cross between The Hidden and End of Days. --Bret Fetzer

Description
International action hero Dolph Lundgren stars in THE MINION -- a powerful, nonstop, action-packed thriller in the tradition of THE MUMMY. When a beautiful and ambitious archaeologist unearths a mysterious key beneath the streets of modern-day New York City, the Templar Knights of Christ send Lucas (Lundgren) to retrieve it. With no time to lose, he must convince her to give him the key before unspeakale evil is unleashed on the world by the Minion. A demonic servant of the Antichrist, the Minion will do everything in its power to possess the key and see that his master is freed to wreak havoc on the world. And only Lucas -- a modern-day warrior trained in the ancient arts -- can defeat the ultimate evil.

The Minion.......2007-01-24
This is an awesome movie; I love action pack movies and I am a fan of Dolph Lundgren. I have review many of his movies and he has been excellent in all of them.
Save your money. If you really have to see it, rent it........2004-10-16
First off, I am a big fan of Dolph Lundgren. I say that so you will know that I'm not just sitting here writting a review for a film staring someone that I do not like in the first place. The Minion, what can say about this movie. One word, terrible. From start to finish, it was just bad. Dolph's acting was wooden, the script was bad, the directing was bad and the supporting cast were bad, particularly the guy who played the lead investigating officer, you guessed it! The movie looked cheap and its main action set piece was lifted straight from The Terminator police station massacre. Hard to believe from the fight scenes in this movie that Dolph Lundgren was once the European Heavyweight Full-Contact Karate Champion and Australian heavyweight division title champion in the 80's. I know he is supposed to be playing a priest but I'm sure even a priest could fight better than Dolph does in this. Having a Demon pass from person to person is a good plot device that we have seen before and could of been good had it been done well. Unfortunatly the makers of the movie even managed to make these scenes when they happened, look stupid. Two people gave this 5 star reviews on Amazon. The only reason I can think of for doing this is that they are now trying to sell their copies of The Minion used, and are hoping for a better price by giving a top mark review for this trash. Dolph Lundgren is an intelligent person and should know better than to be involved in movies like this. Very dissapointing. Avoid, avoid, avoid..........
Awesome movie!!!.......2001-03-24
This movie is great, I was very entertained by it. Im a big Lundgren fan anyway, and it was cool to see him without a gun every once in awhile in a movie. The acting was very good i thought, he did awesome as he always does. The story and the plot was really awesome, and the Biblical references were great on the key and so on. God works in mysterious ways, well check this movie out its great!
Pretty Bad.......2000-12-21
This movie is really really a stinker. All the action is poorly done, and comes off even cheasier then it should. Most of the acting is horrible, and the story is bland. Nothing in this movie does what it should (hello it can't even keep its religions straight). I would say that it was because of a low budget, but the movie had $12,000,000. They could at least have made some of the fights look good, but sadly no. If you are in need of a good horror movie rent "Kolobos" or "Bloody Murder" (the latter is super cheesy and low budget but is way better then this movie). Try something else because this is a pretty lame movie. Although it is still better then "End Of Days".
worst movie I have ever seen.......2000-12-06
The people who made this movie evidently have never even seen a good movie. I work at a video store so I saw it for free, but I still feel cheated, I wasted an hour and a half.
