Reviews Counted:64

Fresh:21

Rotten:43

Average Rating:4.4/10

Consensus: It probably goes without saying that Exit Wounds is loaded with plotholes and bad dialogue. Critics also note that Seagal has aged rather badly.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for strong violence, language and some sexuality/nudity

Runtime: 1 hr 41 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:Mar 16, 2001 Wide

Box Office: $51,408,486

Synopsis: Detroit cop Orin Byrd (Steven Seagal) plays by his own rules.

He knows what's right and what's wrong, and like Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan, he doesn't mind leaving a little destruction in his wake as long as he gets the job done. But after saving the vice president from a militia group in a high-tech bridge battle that features the requisite car explosions and plenty of fancy weaponry, he gets busted down to a low-rent neighborhood where he is soon playing crossing guard. But he has a nose for trouble, so when he begins to suspect that some of the cops in his department are getting down and dirty with drug kingpin Latrell Walker (DMX), he is ready to take action--even if he has to go it alone, against the orders of his commander (Jill Hennessy). Cinematographer-turned-director Andrzej Bartkowiak (ROMEO MUST DIE) shows off his keen eye in EXIT WOUNDS as Seagal and DMX battle it out on the Detroit streets. The pounding hip-hop soundtrack (featuring a number of contributions from DMX and Drag-On, who also appears in the film) and fabulous stunts, keep the excitement moving at a fast pace as the corruption--and the body count--continues to mount. But Anthony Anderson, playing Walker's right-hand man, T.K., nearly walks away with the film, supplying comic relief even through much of the closing credits. [More]

Between the comic bits and bone-crunching, metal-ripping violence, there's a lot of dead space thanks to a script that fires dramatic blanks.

Most Steven Seagal flicks -- chock-full of hissing sideways glances, inane dialogue and pointlessly violent shoot-outs--are usually below the law of good cinematic palatability. Exit Wounds is all that and more.

Exit Wounds suggests that Seagal knows how to keep our eyes glued to the screen, when he puts his mind to it.

Should always be watched on television, where you don't have to pay outright and you have the option to change channels.

Exit Wounds is standard action movie stuff with a couple of twists.

Mindless, empty and fairly entertaining.

Anyone who experienced Seagal's films when he was in his prime will know that he is to acting ability what Robin Cook is to personal magnetism.

May have helped the Buddha-like Seagal get back on the right path, career-wise, but I ask everyone--is that really a good thing?
