I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Please don't spend money on this.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Blackjack casts Dolph Lundgren the best developed Swedish body since Ingemar Johanssen as a US Marshal doing a good turn protecting the family of a friend who owns a casino from some nasty Russian guys trying to muscle in. Quite a few bad guys go down Rambo style with Lundgren protecting Padraigin Murphy, but in the process during an explosion Lundgren develops a whiteout disorder.He's finished as a marshal but bodyguard agency head Fred Williamson hires him to protect supermodel Kam Heskin who has a nasty drug habit to boot from a really vicious stalker who has lots of friends with guns to help him stalk. He learns about Lundgren's phobia and the dirty rat now dresses in formal white dress with a white cutaway. You'd think he was Fred Astaire.A television pilot that didn't sell I guess the network folks thought that the phobia wouldn't generate that many interesting episodes. They were probably right. The always beautiful and attractive Kate Vernon is Lundgren's psychiatrist. She's always worth watching.Lots of Rambo style action and why not as Lundgren got his first notice in a Rocky film.

as far as i see this project black jack 1998 got failure written all over it there are several reasons for it including from the start the bad story,weird characters,budget issues & most of all it was made for TV this is actually the pilot episode which was waiting to get picked up by channels as a TV series but it failed since we are talking about john woo he does his best but the guy is a film director not a TV soap opera one he also produced it & directed this he knew it would not be a success like his film ventures but still this is worth watching if you like Dolph Lundgren or if you are a fan of legendary director sir john woo.there is very little amount of action here with the bikes & all that plus there is more dialogs then fighting people expect something when you have label of master of action with you this what happened with john woo so far out of all his films the mission impossible 2 is a mess of editing it proves Hollywood never appreciated the guy the paramount needs to release an uncut version of the film also i have no doubt about it that this movie black jack got edited too i just don't get the censors,critical reception & the phobia of American film Association with Rated R films why they are so afraid to release full versions with long runtime this phobia murders a pure cinematic experience.the plot:Jack Devlin is a army guy who protects VIP persons when they are in danger first he saves Casey a casino owners daughter then second he tries to protect cinder James a model from her crazy ex husband jack is a dangerous guy but he has a problem he cant see through white stuff.as for the cast there is no one to look except Kam Heskin & Dolph Lundgren he just looks awesome here i have to say i am a fan that's why i picked this to watch.overall Black Jack 1998 is a wasted effort but if you like to see some good direction from john woo do watch this otherwise Skipp it my rating is 3/10.

After an attack on her parents, a pre-teen girl has to be put under protective custody. The man put in charge of her safety is Jack Devlin, a U.S. Marshal who has no experience with kids. Sounds like a pretty standard, cliché setup for a made for TV flick, doesn't it? What do you mean, it could be a sit-com? Huh... I suppose it could. I digress. In the hands of John Woo it... well, it looks a whole heck of a lot better and more stylish than it would otherwise. He definitely brings his brand of over-the-top, visually amazing action to this. The shoot-outs certainly bring this up to being worth at least a single rental for any fan of his. Ultimately, however, the weak premise drags it down, and there aren't actually all that many original gags in the fun, exciting and at times awesome fights, gun-battles and chases. It doesn't exactly help that the child grows irritating within the first few moments of the audience meeting her, and she's a pretty poor actor, as well. The editing and cinematography are quite nice, although obviously inferior to anything the director has done that wasn't this limited. I can't entirely determine if you can really tell that it was meant to be a pilot or not(apart from the ending leaving room for continued adventures). This does build tension well most of the times it tries to, and Lundgren is seldom disappointing in the lead of something like this. There is eye-candy for young males in this. I recommend this to those who want a serving of the unique and instantly recognizable aesthetic, even if it's not of the same level of quality. 6/10

Dolph Lundgren plays Jack Devlin a mercenary suffering from the fear of the color white, who must protect a supermodel (Kam Heskin) from a skilled assassin who is her ex-husband (Phillip Mackenzie) John Woo certainly knows how to do pile on some excellent actionscenes, however the story is far too slow and ridiculous to be taken seriously. Not a bad effort (especially considering it's a TV movie) but John Woo can do better, although surprisingly hasn't lately with suckfests as Windtalkers and M.I.2.
