After a failed intervention in a terrorist kidnapping case that humiliates his superiors, Boyd -- who is hailed as a top-drawer investigator but frowned upon for his tactics -- is forced to do time in a tough downtown precinct. After discovering the covert drug operation performed by several corrupt cops at his new assignment, he decides to break the rules yet again. While the cops are planning a massive heroin deal with big-time gangster Latrell Walker (DMX), Boyd finds that Latrell is not who he once was, and Boyd persuades him to assist in bringing an end to the amoral police influence that helped ruin him. Exit Wounds is the second film from cinematographer-turned-director Andrzej Bartkowiak (Romeo Must Die) and also features Tom Arnold, Isaiah Washington, and Jill Hennessy. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Don Irvine, Globe and Mail
Seagal -- who turns 50 in a few weeks -- has been inactive for the past few years, and it shows.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
In its low grade way, this blithely brutal cops and drugs thriller is an efficient hot wire entertainment.
-
Norman Wilner, Toronto Star
The movie's just an excuse for the entire cast to point guns at each other before engaging in verbal or actual smackery.
-
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle
There's no story here. The film is all about the grisly, electric mayhem that ensues when these two guys hit the streets.
-
Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times
For those in search of action-filled escapist entertainment who are willing to jettison expectations of credibility into the nearest popcorn tub, Exit Wounds ... will do to pass time on an inclement day.
