One does have guilty pleasures in life and one of mine is watching Dolph Lundgren films (actually and Stephen Seagal films but I'm having counselling on that one). I'm not sure why I like Dolph. He can sort of act and he does action scenes OK. Most of his films are low budget. Yet I can't resist them. 'The Peacekeeper' is about a missile base being hijacked and it is up to Dolph to save the day which of course he does, spouting one liners and shooting and punching. Not subtle, there's just something about the man. Left field charisma, or something.
There are two good actors in the film, Roy Scheider and Michael Sarrazin who almost seem in a different movie. Quality shines through. Their conversations by radio are the best bits in the film. Sarrazin as a one eyed ex-soldier is scary but also tragic. Not a great film but it fills the time. Dolph has made better films though (and worse).
