Accordin to 'The Numbers", The package is now over 4 millions buck in sales. Which is really good.

Well that looks like a very good movie! I like Dolph's kill No. 13 best. The video editor really celebrates every kill. Advice: Watch the video until the very end!

I wish they wouldn't. Takes away money from better features.

Well, that was a good one. Steve Austin is here to make his usual part (don't talk too much, fight clumsyly, but efficiently, texan accent* and fun charisma "Well, it sucks to be him"), Dolph is just really good and his part, even if small, is really interesting. Fights and shootout scenes are well made, and it's clear Johnson has some background. The music is quite good too, adding to the global value. Some locations are note that great (the usual factory, the garage ...), but hey, what can we do.
Overall, it was a nice surprise, it's not boring at all.

* : Austin's accent made lose the string of the story sometime.

Review for the Qatar cinema release
http://www.q-tickets.com/news_details.a ... he-Package

Don't have a reason to watch The Package ? I'll give you one right now! Just two words - Dolph Lundgren!! God! When did he go from being a nothing to someone who hogs the entire screen space? How exactly did he transform himself to become the exceptional actor he is now? Only God can answer that!

The movie has a R rating all right, but it's for the violence and nothing explicit. No foul language, no nudity, nothing. Dolph Lundgren's character is so evil that satan himself smiles wickedly. The other guy, Steve Austin is no less, he's just bigger, bulkier and meaner - version of Jason Statham's character from the transporter - minus the breath taking-ly pretty smile.

Jesse Johnson posted a great 3mins trailer (promo reel) from March 2012 (right after it was wrapped filming, usually done to show investors, distributors and other industry people)
