Tiresome to watch.

'Puncture Wounds' is a film that somewhat tries, but nothing really comes to fruition all that well. The story is a tad messy, the score is poor, the dialogue is iffy alongside a mostly disappointing cast list.

I never felt Cung Le (John) wasn't trying, he was but I'm not sure he is lead actor worthy - his delivery isn't quite up to stretch here, given there's a lot of narration from his character; not helped by the writing, of course.

Dolph Lundgren isn't even the usual Dolph Lundgren, which is quite something - a very 'relaxed' performance, despite the spree of destruction involving Hollis. Vinnie Jones (Bennet - one T according to the film's intro) is what you'd expect, he's solid enough at playing a bad guy.

I'm all for mindless, combat-filled films but this doesn't even reach those levels. Rather dismal, unfortunately.
