It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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

Spoiler Alert!!! I really enjoyed this little film despite it has a very confusing storyline about a man who goes on a killing rampage against the killers of his wife or somebody close to him! This movie is full of action that a normal action movie fan would be satisfied with. Danny Trejo again is a pretty decent villain as always. The movie is pretty awesome and if you are a fan of gold old fist fighting check out the end fight scene! There's not a lot to say about this movie other than it is a simple yet action packed film. Danny Trejo and Austin want to kill each other from beginning to end which you gotta love. It was way better and had less plot holes than Tactical Force which is why I have decided to rate it a 6 out of 10.

I'm a big Danny Trejo fan, and he seemed to really have a meaty role in this film. Otherwise, I would have dismissed it as another ex-wrestler grabbing a paycheck for kicking butt. Of course, Serinda Swan also made the time spent watching it worthwhile.I typically like a good revenge flick, but this one was missing something. It was like, "They killed my wife, and now I am going to do something about it." There wasn't any real passion in Austin's character. Trejo chewed the scenery every time he appeared. This was his best role, but Austin just didn't have the stones - he was cold.Austin needs to find some John Cena passion.
