Detroit cop Orin Byrd (Steven Seagal) plays by his own rules. He knows what's right and what's wrong, and like Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan, he doesn't mind leaving a little...
more...destruction in his wake as long as he gets the job done. But after saving the vice president from a militia group in a high-tech bridge battle that features the requisite car explosions and plenty of fancy weaponry, he gets busted down to a low-rent neighborhood where he is soon playing crossing guard. But he has a nose for trouble, so when he begins to suspect that some of the cops in his department are getting down and dirty with drug kingpin Latrell Walker (DMX), he is ready to take action--even if he has to go it alone, against the orders of his commander (Jill Hennessy).
Cinematographer-turned-director Andrzej Bartkowiak (ROMEO MUST DIE) shows off his keen eye in EXIT WOUNDS as Seagal and DMX battle it out on the Detroit streets. The pounding hip-hop soundtrack (featuring a number of contributions from DMX and Drag-On, who also appears in the film) and fabulous stunts, keep the excitement moving at a fast pace as the corruption--and the body count--continues to mount. But Anthony Anderson, playing Walker's right-hand man, T.K., nearly walks away with the film, supplying comic relief even through much of the closing credits.

Exit Wounds starring Steven Segal and the very HOT and talented DMX.
~
Steven Segal is a cop who doesn't really do his job "by the book" and therefore, his chief got feedup of all wrong doings and sent him to Detroit, which is one of the roughest areas in America, so that is tough anticts might be straightened out there.

DMX is the brother of a "criminal" who was set up by the police to take the fall for there own law breaking activities. DMX who is actually rich, tries to set up the bad cops who sent his brother to jail.

At the beginning of the movie Segal as the police officer believes that DMX to be a drug dealer, just out to get some money. But then in a fight scene which is director is known for, we later find out the hiden story about his brother, and his fight for justice.

Segal who has some comedy lines in this movie, joins together with DMX to uncover the illegal business of some of the police officer. As we go through the movie we realise that not everyone is what they seem. Those who we believe to be the good guys end up being the worst bad guys out of the lot.

Is this film going to get Segal back to the top??? Truthfully I'm not too sure, it has the same feel to Romeo Must Die, although a good film, it won't make it's mark on the industry, but definately a good startin gof for DMX, but there just doesn't seem to be many parts for an aging action hero in today's entertainment business.

DMX was good considewring that htis was his first big-budget film, (although he appeared in Hype Williams movie with Naz.) Just wished that he could have kicked some more butt when he was fighting, and not see Segal beat him.

Segal himself wasn't too bad himself, he pulled of the dry humour quite well and being smooth with the women didn't seem to be to difficult(Not my type personally.) But still an entertaining film to see.
