While 40+ actresses get a tough time in Hollywood, it seems even worse in the realm of genre DTVs, and while Dolph are maturing, their female co-stars are not only too young but often cast based on their stereotypical bimbo looks (and probably their network of agents as well) which is a shame.
I'm glad Kristina Klebe from DON'T KILL IT is not only older but seems to have more depth. Stefani von Preteen from ICARUS was also pretty good even though relatively young. I always wished Dolph would deeper romances and more charismatic and mature actresses to work with when it comes to play (where are the likes of strong, beautiful actresses like Madeleine Stowe or Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio?!). Even when Dolph co-starred with an artsy and acclaimed actress such as Maruschka Detmers in THE SHOOTER, the script/film didn't live up to its promisses especially in the romance department... You can have have strong, emotional romances in hardcore action films (which can make one even better).

I don't know if this kind of product placement brings much dough on a DTV though ?
It's when it focuses on the policework and flash drive where it falls apart.
Always sounded to me like a pretty weak and old MacGuffin gimmick to begin with.
Another review that's not too bad:
