Joshua Tree (1993)
7/10
One Man Army...
7 April 2007
Dolph Lundgren stars as a wrongfully accused stock car driver who escapes from prison (During a botched attempt on his life) and disappears into the desert to exact vengeance on the crooked cop (George Segal) who set him up while taking a police woman (Kristian Alfonso) hostage many fight sequences and high energy shoot-outs occur. Army Of One is the type of action flick one would expect an 80's Schwarzenegger would've starred in, not the B-grade Dolph Lundgren. Still this action flick moves with such force and delivers so much action, Army Of One works as one of Lundgren's best straight ahead actioners. With this and Men Of War, one wonders why Lundgren didn't obtain a bigger following in theaters. Both of these titles offer far more than their generic titles would indicate and their overall punch in the action sequences easily showed up Steven Seagal in On Deadly Ground. In fact with Lundgren putting out credible action movie output, one is ultimately disappointed that such a movie could probably not be duplicated by Dolph Lundgren today. This is an extremely intense movie that needs a widescreen transfer on DVD to really get the action fan to appreciate the fun Army Of One offers. Only real flaw is some flabby padding but aside from this, this is as good (Entertaining) as Lundgren flicks get.
