Yes, I remember this being listed on Neeson's IMDb resume and now it makes sense as to why it's not there anymore.

It's alright though since we all know who the better Action star truly is. Anyway, it's basically Collateral Damage (leaving the U.S. to fight his own war) except this time Arnold's the guy stopping the other from leaving the country & it probably won't suck. Either way, I'm game and I hope he churns this out earlier then that lame animated show he's working on. Cartoons aren't a great way to express your true talent & surely Arnie knows that. 8-)

Doesn't really sound like the epic action-movie I hoped for from Arnie, and it certainly doesn't sound like an action movie to me - I mean one sheriff attempting to stop ONE prisoner sounds Meh to me.
And with it being Arnie's first action-movie in years, I think the director would want to make it appeal to a more wider audience (PG-13).

Schwarzenegger in a Jee-woon Kim movie? Sounds like perfection to me. I hope that Hollywood dosen´t ruin Jee-woon-Kim like it ruined John Woo.

My thoughts exactly.

Of course, it would be great if this were all positively true, but you never know with these Internet stories... plus, this flick's already had a somewhat troubled production. Who knows if Arnold will stick?

Still, I'm with Gabe where this isn't what I was expecting... or rather, what I was hoping for. I'd be more down with something like Commando or even Eraser. But I guess that era is over.

FOR NOW...


I was hoping Arnold would make more flicks similar to his old popcorn shoot 'em ups, but if this semi-serious thing goes well it could get Arnold some more publicity for people looking to cast the next Arnold-style movie... What I mean is, I hope this is the first of many unlike it.

Ha. Wordplay.

Yeah, ok. I'm still hoping he pops up in The Expendables II, if not in a principle role.

It would be great if he could somehow ham it up in this gritty-sounding picture and somehow do something new with the material.

Either way, I really just need a few requirements:

1.) He must have at least one memorable one-liner
2.) Must display his usual "acting."
3.) And the usual killing spree of course!
