Movie Info

An incarcerated ex-US Special Forces operative in Russia discovers his second shot at freedom was actually an elaborate ruse in this explosive action thriller starring Dolph Lundgren. Mike Riggins was rotting in a Russian prison when he is offered immediate release if he will rescue abducted American Ana. Though Mike makes quick work of his mission, he discovers that the kidnapping story was a lie when the government, the paramilitary, and the mafia all come gunning for him. Now, as his enemies close in from all sides, Mike attempts to uncover the truth about Ana and keep her out of harm's way.

Direct Contact is bad in all the right ways. Despite the action sequences looking like they are modelled on a 1970s TV show, cars spinning in the air, explosions everywhere and ridiculous fight sequences, this romp is surprisingly enjoyable.

Audience Reviews for Direct Contact

Why oh why do these old guys keep making these crap action films?? I downloaded it, surely no one would actually buy this!!! Its the usual thing, Dolph killing loads of bad guys and saving the girl, he gets beaten up a bit and shot in the arm of course but that pretty much happens to every tough guy in every tough guy action flick. Effects and stunts are crap apart from a few reasonable car smashes but its nothing we haven't seen before and the acting is...well...dire, oh yes I said dire. Forget it, its shit, just like Van Damme and Seagal, Dolph keeps rolling out one turd after another and somehow manages to be able to keep doing it!!. Surely he must know he's making straight to the trash heap crap!!?

¨Direct Contact¨ is a bad movie where the plot is generic, the direction is laughable, the editing sloppy, the acting terrible even Lundgren´s acting is bad in some scenes and that why I don´t give it half star more BUT it is a bloody B-Action movie that will keep you entertained from start to end.
