RECOIL is a solid little Canadian action film with a leading role for wrestler-turned-actor Steve Austin. He plays the normal heroic cop whose wife is killed when masked bad guys show up and machine gun a family barbecue. Austin then goes gunning for revenge, discovering that the murderers are none other than the members of a biker gang resembling the Hell's Angels. Plenty of fight scenes and explosive action ensues, all of it delivered on a low budget. It's simplistic but enjoyable, with hard-man Austin beating his way through one thug after another and very little depth to get in the way. Danny Trejo co-stars in a villainous turn as the head of the bikers, and there are a few nods to MACHETE along the way.

This is a story of a man (Steve Austin) who is out for revenge for the death of his family, and he heads to a town where it has been taken over by a Bikie Gang where its run by the one and only Danny Trejo! The plot is very typical and extremely simple. The movie itself was very low budget, and it felt like an 80's type movie. Not such a bad thing, though. Everyone works really well with the budget they have. The acting wasn't great, the action was okay, the story is clichéd, but good, the pacing was good (it keeps you watching, and you never get bored) and the direction was good. The whole movie doesn't really rely on far fetched Martial Arts to be put into this movie. It feels more of a street fighting type movie. It actually works too! Trejo was 70 years old when he did this movie...so hats off to Trejo for still kicking butt at the age of 70! The final fight scene between Trejo Austin was definitely the best part of the movie. All in all..it's a watchable movie. If you're bored and got nothing else better to do then watch this. You wont be disappointed. 3/5 stars. 7/10

Steve Austin stars as an ex-cop out for revenge after his family is murdered. Danny Trejo is the head of a big bad biker gang whom Steve tassels with in this very generic straight to video yawner. Striking quite a few parallels to FX networks' "Sons Of Anarchy", this film suffers from such comparisons as this as forgettable sub-par revenge flick. I say this with a heavy heart as I did enjoy Austin in "Tactical Force" and was hoping this one would be as fun (Seriously go see that film if you haven't already). Sadly this one was just boring and tedious. Wouldn't even recommend it for a lazy Sunday with nothing better to do.

"I think you know why I'm here." After the murder of his wife and child former cop Ryan Varrett (Austin) becomes obsessed with revenge and justice. When he gets to the town of Hope he finds what he is looking for. I have always wondered why wrestlers (who pretty much act for a living) have never been good movie actors. I liked Stone Cold when he was wrestling but as an actor he is quite bad. This is a hard movie to review for me. The opening five minutes were so bad I was laughing and wanted to turn it off, but the longer it went on the more I liked it. I'm not sure if it was because it was actually a good movie or if I just got used to it. I think I mainly liked it because of the idea. I loved "Boondock Saints" and while it's impossible to compare the two, any movie about a vigilante who doses out his own justice to those who fall through the cracks is OK with me. Overall, Steve Austin's best movie so far (which isn't saying much). I recommend this though. I surprisingly give it a B+.
