One can always count on Steven Seagal to act as the repository of yesterday's action-film clichés, and Exit Wounds is yet another case in point. Seagal plays Detroit cop Orin Boyd, a lone wolf lawman who gets in the middle of his precinct's losing battle against police corruption. Taking on a powerful but crooked cop named Montini (David Vadim)--who is busy making deals with a rich gangster (DMX)--Boyd soon sends fists and feet flying while Tom Arnold provides the comic relief. Director Andrzej Bartkowiak surely had less fun guiding Seagal through slow-motion fight sequences than he did Jet Li in Romeo Must Die, but as compensation he gets to work with the mesmerizing DMX, who looks as though he has leading-man possibilities. Plenty of gratuitous gore, awful cop banter, and miles of cleavage courtesy of Jill Hennessy, who plays Boyd's tough-as-nails boss. --Tom Keogh

Unusually effective frequency, intensity and quality of action scenes.......2007-06-17

EXIT WOUNDS (2001) does justice to Steve Seagal's reputation for
outdoing all others motion pictures for the frequency, intensity and
quality of action scenes, gun firefights, and man-to-man combats.

With a plot that's somewhat difficult to follow or believe (such that
some in the audience may reach for a Bufferin), the story deals with
an inside job, being coordinated and masterminded at the highest
level in the US police force, such that in the end, it is entirely
logical, explicable, and comprehensible for why so many police
officers were recruited for, and participated in a narco-trafficking
operation without being caught, by Internal Affairs or by clean cops.

In addition, Seagal's characters learns the lesson that high level
officials in an organization can take out their rivals (lower in the
hierarchy) by taking on alone the roles of judge, jury and
executioner, all-in-one.

Playing an iconoclast, independent-minded police detective, who is
able to think things over for himself, pulled from a vast experience
on the force, and talent, with the ends for him always justify the
means, (in terms of stopping a suspect, and protecting civilians) ,
this gets Seagal in trouble, for not being a low-profile officer.

Clearly, the non-stop action scenes will send thrills down the
audience's spine, their jaws and eyes wide-open, as all types of
vehicles (cars, motorcycles) and arms are used (shotgun, pistol, Uzi,
swords) including karate body to body defense and attack moves, etc.

The soundtrack is a mixed bag, but obviously, having been prepared by
DMX, with the cast split 50/50 with African Americans, evidently, hip
hop and the latest style of rap music was employed.

The sound effects for those with a 5.1 home theater will clearly meet
and exceed expectations. The wide-screen is well done, and a plus.

There's a number of quirky short catch-phrases, most often uttered by
Anthony Anderson's character, such as when he admits fearing Seagal
"will stick a plunger up his a#$" or "you need the meat, to feel the
heat" praising obese women.

Showing plenty of fitness and gym scenes, (weight lifting, boxing,
athletics), and a $300,000 Ferrari and phenomenal stunts and
firefights almost every 10 mins, the movie clearly aims to have to
audience's adrenalin and testosterone pumping, and manages this well.

The non-sequitur of the last 5 mins, with Tom Arnold doing comedy,
and the short shelf life of the rap numbers are the weak points.

3 Stars for Anger Management .......2007-03-07

Over weight and over the hill, Steven Seagal had certainly seen better days before EXIT WOUNDS. The film starts out with an interesting premise which it unfortunately does not pursue. The best scene in this entire movie is the anger management sequence where he destroys the desk. Wouldn't we all want to do that at some time?

A dance of violence..........2006-12-29

'Exit Wounds' begins explosively with a terrorist raid on the Vice President, who is surrounded by an array of police escorts...

When renegade Detroit detective Orin Boyd (Seagal) takes on the whole Michigan militant group to save the man's life, in true action hero fashion, he is punished for his lack of respect for authority and procedure and sent to one of the toughest precincts in the city of Detroit, the 15th...

Once there, Seagal begins his usual habit of investigating things he's not assigned to, and quickly begins to suspect police corruption involving a major heroin operation...

Seagal plays a super tough cop who stays in trouble for complaints filed against him for excessive force...

He lands in a bad dangerous precinct and before you know it finds himself in nonstop furious action, trying to clean up the streets while taking on drug dealers and dirty cops pretty much all by himself...

Seagal is accompanied in this film by rapper DMX and a few other familiar faces including Anthony Anderson who is absolutely hilarious...

Better than average by the numbers Action Flick.......2006-05-30

This is one of the better Seagal Action movies and features a convincing DMX who shows he has some movie star charisma and acting chops. It's not UNDER SEIGE but it's far better than GLIMMER MAN, ON DEADLY GROUND and FIRE DOWN BELOW. It's also better than all of Seagal's direct to video fare. You also don't have to worry about him singing any Country-Western or blues songs in this one.

Seagal does not really act, but he does have an interesting charisma. At his best he's a poor-man's Clint Eastwood, who's spare Akido influenced martial arts moves are bone break-ingly no nonsense, macho stuff. He frowns a lot, he grimaces once in a while, he's sometimes photographed at unflattering angles, has vampire like teeth, runs like a girl and he almost never raises his voice and stays very very-- sometimes zombie-like, calm.

At times, Seagal's acting is so minimal you want to laugh at the irony that you actually wanted to spend your money to watch this guy. I mean I still can't decide if I think Seagal is a first class jerk with little talent (rumors of his big ego persist) or if he's kind of cool. It's remarkable he's gotten away with what he does in more than a dozen big screen movies and at least that many direct to video mistakes.

Seagal you'll notice almost right away in this movie still has that walk of his. Movie stars like John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Robert Mitcum, Humphrey Bogart, and James Cagney, to name just a few used to have interesting walks. Walks which were full of attitude and set them apart from regular people. Seagal has a special way of walking... strutting actually. It's a modified Pimp's walk. Oh not the herky jerky kind of Huggy Bear (of Starsky and Hutch fame) walk, but more the Fred Williamson or Ron -Superfly- O'neal type of strut. When you add Seagal's greased back hair (he got rid of his pony-tail a few years ago) perpetual frown, wrinkled forehead and slanted eyebrows, with the strut, he drips with the I'm a pis-ssed-off-bad-a-s-s-vibe that action movie hero's since Eastwood and Bronson are supposed to exude. Seagal's got the attitude, and he's shed most of that beer belly gut he had during the last few films he walked through (on video about three years ago, on screen it's been four years). He may be 50 years old but he's quite willing and able to do some impressive looking martial arts moves and play cops and robbers quite well.

The film also stars Issiah Washington-- a real actor. Why he isn't working in better movies I have no idea. Issiah isn't actually asked to do much acting, but you can tell if the script asked him to do any, he would have been able to pull it off.

DMX (aka Earl Simmons) is another reason people were initially curious about this film. Perhaps the biggest reason. And he has some presence in the film. I'm not sure how good of an actor he actually is since he's playing a pretty cliché'd kind of character through most of the film. He acts tough, does some physical stunts (or seems to be doing them) very well and when he's supposed to have some warmth and the audience is supposed to like him--we do. He doesn't embarrass himself and has some on-screen charisma that's not the same as other rap stars turned movie stars. He contributes a few songs to the soundtrack as well--including an interesting version of the Bill Wither's hit Ain't No Sunshine.

Maybe the worst news about this movie is that we have not one... but two characters who are in the movie mostly to provide comic relief. They are written into the movie in a very forced manner and the actors that have been cast don't do themselves any favor by trying much too hard to be funny with the material they are given. Anthony Edwards and Tom Arnold try way to hard to be funny. They usually annoy. You might enjoy their end credit comic riffing however.

So what's THE STORY? The story updates ,merges and dumbs down Dirty Harry and Serpico.

During the first sequence some bad guys impersonate cops to try and kidnap a politican. Seagal as Orin Boyd, a decorated but Lone Wolf kind of hero-cop, is the only officer who notices that the impersonating cops are breaking regulation by wearing earrings. Hundreds of cops around and only our hero sees the irregularity and suspects something funny might be going. Some sort of gadget passes hands and Orin is the only guy who pays this any attention.

Cue the action complete with some bloodshed and a climax involving the fiery explosion of a helicopter.

In the process of saving the politician's life Orin has embarrassed the politician and caused lots of damage, endangered lots of lives and broke lots of rules. He's a decorated hero cop so he's transferred to the worst ghetto precinct you could imagine where a lot of misfit neanderthal cops work.

Oh that old chestnut huh? Yep.

What you couldn't imagine is that this precinct is run by a woman whom everyone pretends doesn't look like a cover-girl model. She's tough though and sends Orin to anger management classes and eventually demotes him to traffic cop. It's at the anger management school that Orin meets up with the t.v. talk show host played by Tom Arnold.

However Orin has quickly had a run-in with the local drug king pin, Latrell Walker (played by DMX), and his over-weight comical assistant and combo dance/strip club owner, T.K. (played by Anthony Anderson). When he tries to be the lone -wolf hero and take Latrell down he winds up screwing up another cops undercover operation. This is what gets him demoted temporarily to a traffic cop.

Oh but something isn't quite right with the picture and Orin discovers that dirty cops are involved and not all the players are who, they at first, seemed to be. I know this will come as a huge shock to action movie fans (NOT).

This leads to Orin getting involved in several scrapes that lead to a fairly big shoot-out/ action scene to wrap things up.

All of this takes supposedly takes place in Detroit. If you haven't been to Detroit you probably won't notice that Toronto is where the movie has been shot.

There's no romance in the film and outside of some naked club dancers and the brief hint of a flirtation, none of the stars have any on-screen relationships with women. In fact we have no idea about Seagal's private life in the film at all. You want depth? Go swim in the deep end of the pool. This is a Joel Silver action movie darn it.

Exit Wounds, is just one more time-wasting action movie that too many people weren't able to resist, so it became successful at the box-office. It's slightly better than you probably think it is, but you would still be better off satisfying your macho movie 'jones' by watching some action movies from Hong Kong (directed by Johnny To, Ringo Lam, Tsui Hark or John Woo to start with), but hey, this one is in English.

IMAGE AND SOUND

Overal the 2.35:1 anamorphic wide screen transfer looks very good. The film has lots of nigh scenes and the black levels are strong and shadow details pretty good. There's some pixalation in a few scenes and if you want to be really picky you'll notice several white spot drop outs that are the result of some wear and tear on the original print used for the transfer. That's a bit disappointing that they didn't find a print in better condition or combine a couple of prints to Create one pristine one to transfer, but it's a pretty minor distraction. There doesn't seems to be too many problems with edge enhancements or bouncing video levels either.

There's only one soundtrack on the DVD and it's in 5.1 dolby. If you don't have the 5 channel system you'll be hearing a squeezed version of it which others call a down-mix. That means some of the squeezed together separation will create some muddier sound effects but usually it is not problematic and it won't affect your ability to hear dialogue.

The 5.1 track is utilized quite well. There's lots of big bangs and sound is bounced around from the various channels so there are plenty of left to right, back and forth, and right to left sound effects. When a noisy Humvee drives across the screen the sound moves through the room as well. This however isn't always the case... which is a bit puzzling. Why in the opening action sequence is the bun battle now nearly as lively as the one later in the film? The music score , occasional DMX songs and several sound effects are base heavy, so the LFE is being used throughout the film.

Extra Features:

The longest extra is the obligatory behind the scenes puff piece. There's the expected discussion about Seagal's come-back (of sorts) the casting of DMX and pre-planning for the film. Everyone is upbeat and positive and congratulating and praising everyone else of course. You do hear from Seagal, who sounds a bit tired and bored as well as producer Joel Silver who sounds enthusiastic. We get to see how a few stunts were done and see how the wire work played a big part in making Seagal look pretty good in the action scenes. Seagal as we see is a very agile athletic guy and he doesn't look 50 years old.

There is also the 9 plus minute feature called A Day on the Set with Anthony Anderson. Anderson plays T.K. in the film and he's often called upon to be the comic relief. We follow him from his hotel room, to his trailer, to the set for a scene he is shooting, and then, at the end of the day, he does a bit of a comic rant about what a long hard day it has been and how he has sacrificed so much to give those of us in the audience some entertainment value. Anderson's running commentary is only occasionally amusing and we don't see enough on the set type action for the piece to have much value.

The music video is presented in wide screen (but it is not anamorphic). Mysteriously the audio for the video is in Dolby 2.0. It should certainly have been in 5.1. The re-make, hip-hop version of the Ain't No Sunshine sounds okay in 2.0.

Exit Wounds is explosive!.......2006-01-31

When I saw previews for this movie, I thought to myself man I want to go see this movie. I never did though go to the movies to see it. I finally rented it though and I wasn't disappointed one bit. The action is off the chain, the plot is pulsating, and Seagal is his typical bad ass self. There were other good performances in this movie as well. DMX is equal to Seagal in the bad ass department, Isaiah Washington shows off his versatility as the cop teamed with Seagal, and Michael Jai White is very convincing as the devil cop Louis Strutt. The best part in the movie is when Boyd (Seagal) fights Strutt while Rollins (DMX) fights Bontini. If you're a movie fan who likes over-dramatized Oscar movie dribble, then this movie isn't for you. If you like an entertaining plot with pizazz and style, then this movie is right up your alley!

Bravo!.......2006-05-30

This is a must see for those who truly desire to discover what John Kerry is all about. He can run but he can't hide.

One who watched this happen.......2004-12-04

This is an ugly chapter of American history that has waited 30 years to be told, and one I watched unfold at the time. Our political leaders, Kennedy and Johnson, sent our young kids off to fight an unpopular war with one hand tied behind their back.

Mostly young draftees, they did their best. These weren't blood soaked mercenaries; they were our neighbors, schoolmates, husbands, cousins, brothers, sons, and fathers. And we owe these patriots for their sacrifice.

What's truly despicable is that a few celebrities and one Naval Officer worked with the North Vietnamese, our enemies, to undermine our troops and advance their own careers. Instead of coming home to a grateful nation, our soldiers were vilified and spat upon, assumed guilty of atrocities and war crimes they didn't commit. Even after all this time, extreme efforts have been (and are being) made to suppress the telling of this story and discredit those who dared speak out. This documentary, as of this posting, STILL has not been shown on prime time media news.

Buy this video, watch it closely, and witness the truth. Then, when you're done, donate this to a library. It's a story of deceit and betrayal that needs to be more widely known. (Plus a whiff of treason, apparently granted a pardon during the Carter administration. Google "Kerry" and "discharge.")

Help spread the truth. We owe this not just to the 50,000 on the wall and their families, but to every American who has ever served our nation.

Product Description

"Stolen Honor" investigates how John Kerry's actions during the Vietnam era impacted the treatment of American soldiers and POWs. Using John Kerry's own words, the documentary juxtaposes John Kerry's actions with the words of veterans who were still in Vietnam when John Kerry was leading the anti-war movement.

Powerful!!!!!.......2004-11-24

This is a Powerful Documentary, and is a must view for everyone in the USA. I think we must all go back and confront the Vietnam war and this Documentary is a good starting place. We all need to challenge our assumptions, we need to examine the Vietnam war in the light of the overall cold war, and we need to honor our Men and women who served in that war.

What Goes Around..........2004-11-14

What Goes Around..., November 14, 2004
Reviewer: JR Dunn (New Brunswick,, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
So this is the film that so frightened the Democrats that they jettisoned all their closely-held principles to shut it down.

You can see their point. On the surface, "Stolen Honor" is little more than an hour's worth of aging men telling war stories. But what stories! And what men -- each of them a survivor of years in the Hanoi Hilton, a human-created hell representing far worse than most of the people reading this will ever have to endure.

Take Leo Thorsness. As a pilot of a Wild Weasel fighter, Thorsness took on a squadron of MiGs and several SAM sites preparing to ambush an approaching bomber formation. He did it alone, and -- in the last pass that set the MiGs running for home -- without any ammunition. And he got up the next day and flew back into battle, and the day after that, until he was shot down at last. He didn't lay eyes on his Medal of Honor until after he was freed.

Thorsness is merely representative of who these men are and what they accomplished. Compare them to their accuser. Give him everything he claims -- his three Purple Hearts that he "bled" for, the Silver Star for shooting a teenager in the back. Then compare it to the records of the men featured in this film. It doesn't match up, does it?

Yet these are the men the junior senator from Massachusetts slandered. These are the men he silenced. Keep that in mind when he next attempts to call attention to himself.

One final point -- in the very last interview (I forget the name, and it really makes no difference), pay close attention to the woman sitting beside the man being interviewed. She's old, and gray, and could be anyone's grandmother. But watch the play of emotions across her face as her husband speaks. You will learn quite a lot of value about love, and fortitude, and will, and what it takes to be human in a world that often seems hostile beyond measure.

I'm in Afghanistan.......2004-11-13

I'm serving right now in Afghanistan, and you know what? I think when I retire from the army I'll go around trying to get free stuff from people by saying "I fought for this country, how dare you!" , sorry folks but it's pathetic to blame someone who faught in the war but later protested it, it's even more cowardly to use your veteran status to initiate more war. I fail to see how Kerry is to blame because some disturbed NVA/Vietcong jailers tortured people. Are you saying that if there were no protesters they would have been treated well? Get real! Later, I need to do some heroics so that I can get free stuff by spewing out how "I faught for this country" and everyone else owes me now.

the documentary John Kerry doesn't want you to see.......2004-11-07

This is the documentary Sinclair Television Group was to air in its entirety, but after lawyers for Senator Kerry's "interests" intimidated and threatened them, they reduced the air time to a small segment. It is too bad that more people didn't get to view this poignant, wrenching film.
It contains interviews of POWs who spent anywhere from five to eight years in the dreaded "Hanoi Hilton", and includes some horrific footage of the place.
It also contains footage of Senator Kerry meeting with his Vietnam Veterans Against the War group, most who look like the same bunch of human debris that caused the riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention.

It is not what Senator Kerry did during his time in Vietnam that matters, it's what he did when he came home; I remember the late '60s and early '70s well, consider them the nadir of our history, and have always felt that people like Jane Fonda and John Kerry should have been tried for treason, for inciting anti-war activities that gave comfort to the enemy, lengthened the war, and cost American lives on the battlefield. My opinion of Kerry has not improved, after the attempts to suppress this film, so similar to the goon squad tactics used against the Nader people in this past presidential election. Anyone who saw Lawrence Tribe argue for the DNC in front of the Florida Supreme Court (C-SPAN, 9/17/04) to keep Ralph Nader off the ballot will know what I mean.

The heart and soul of this documentary are the seventeen steadfast and heroic men who are interviewed. Their stories are gripping, and their wounds deep, opened again by a man who dared to make Vietnam the cornerstone of his candidacy for the highest office in the land, when he saluted millions of viewers and "reported for duty". Having done so, these stories and the memories of those who tell them will follow Kerry for the rest of his public life, ready to surface again no doubt in 2006, if he runs for re-election to the Senate.
As George "Bud" Day, who was imprisoned and tortured for five years and seven months says, "this man committed an act of treason. He lied, he besmirched our name and he did it for self-interest. And now he wants us to forget. I can never forget".
Produced and presented by Carlton Sherwood, the total running time is 42 minutes.

Vietnam Veterans know the truth........2004-11-01

This movie begins to unravle the mystique about the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, a group Kerry led as his trophy in the anti-war movement. As a veteran I went to his meetings in the 1970's and can verify that many insiders and participants were never in Vietnam. Stories were falsified on a daily basis. All of the draft eligible men who were against the war were only too willing to participate in a false story about real Vietnam Veterans. Kerry's crime was his willingness to participate as a real veteran and to exploit other veterans in this phony organization. While it's true atrocities were committed by both sides in the war, in any war, Kerry propagated false stories for his own political benefit. This is why veterans will not vote for him on Tuesday.

The greatest, but it is not for Americans... I am sorry guys, but you are unable to understad the movie. I have read other comments... Well, what can I say, not everybody graduated from a department of slavic studies. If you are looking for a blockbuster of a horror, you have a better option. That is a movie with a deep idea, which is not easy to grasp for people who know everything. Try to guess what they mean with this movie, and do not percieve it literally!!!

...In my opinion, The Wounds was a powerful, wicked, enjoyable, movie, but in no way a GREAT film. The dark wasn't quite dark enough, the camera work not very impressive (recall when the boys run into their boss's fist-- it never really showed the impact in any convincing way), the acting, while good, was in no way incredible...

Description

The wounded vets deserve 5 stars for their resilience.......2007-04-04

This DVD of a 60minutes program about wounded vets trying to return to civilian life was interesting, however, it was disappointingly short. I thought 60 minutes was for 60 minutes, these are only 15 minutes long...what was left out??? When these are aired on t.v. do viewers watch 45 minutes of commercials? I also thought that they interviewed very resilient people with excellent support systems of family and friends, not all are so fortunate.

They Bore the Wounds of Christ: The Mystery of the Sacred Stigmata
Stigmata

ASIN: B000E371XW
Release Date: 2003-04-18

Description

The marks correspond to the places where Christ was nailed to the cross and cut with a spear by his killers. They appear suddenly and may leave the same way, or linger for decades. They are stigmata, and they are among the most puzzling of all unexplained phenomenon. STIGMATA: MARKED FOR LIFE chronicles the most famous of the over 300 claimed occurrences of stigmata through the ages. Here is the story of St. Francis of Assisi, the first stigmatic, on whom the wounds appeared in 1224; of Padre Pio, an Italian friar who is said to have bled for fifty years until his death in 1968; of Theresa Neumann, who believers said survived only on the Eucharist for 35 years. In each of these cases, experts like Ted Harrison, the author of Stigmata: A Medieval Phenomenon, and Neuro-Psychologist Dr. Marco Magnelli, examine the historical records in search of clues about what lies behind this extraordinary phenomenon. Are they acts of God? Have these people really been touched? Or are they simply desperate attempts for attention? STIGMATA: MARKED FOR LIFE explores every side of an issue that blends faith, medicine and myth.
