Lundgren's best acting job.


Lundgren's best acting job by far with The punisher,Johnny Mnemonic,
silent trigger, and the expendables.s for Lundgren, he is by no means a thespian either, but here he’s given the freedom to go completely nuts—which in a sense works in his favor, too. I mean, it’s tough to mess up a role when the only real goal is to look and act like you’ve completely lost your marbles, and even though some of his actions could be considered as campy, they aren’t entirely out of place, either. It’s obvious just from the twinkle in his eyes that he’s relishing every minute of it, stealing the show as an insanely terrific complement to our all-too-serious hero.

I agree, he was awesome in this. When Lundgren first started in movies in the mid 80s, he was still learning but by this movie you can tell he had improved a lot. He made for an awesome villain and was reeling off a lot of good dialogue. He was pretty frightening in a few scenes, and at the end (It's emp-tay!) he was actually funny.

Acting like you some one man GPS

don't forget cover-up as well.

Yeah, I noticed right away that he was a lot better in this than the other movies I'd seen him in (Red Scorpion, Punisher, Expendables 1 and 2). This is probably my favourite role of his now. LOL.
