Summary: If you read the book don't buy the movie
Comment: I read the book first and the movie is very disappointing, unless you are an avid Steven Seagal fan.
The movie follows John Westermann's book (same name) in only a couple of areas; it is about the police and some of the character names reappear.
The plot and characters in Westermann's book are far more interesting and entertaining than they are in this movie. Also, its humor is very good.
If your interest is Westermann read the book. If your interest is Seagal watch the movie before you read the book; otherwise you will wish you had.

Summary: Segal's Last Good Theatrical Movie
Comment: This is the last true good theatrical release from Seagal; his preceding films afterwards would not match this movie in anyway, in exception of Belly of The Beast and Urban Justice. Seagal decided that it was time to loose weight and serve his fans right by doing another good movie like Under Siege.
Segal plays Orin Boyd, A good cop, one of the few that is not corrupt. After breaking the rules to save a vice president he is sent to a lower class precinct to learn some manners and earn his badge again. After proving his valor he is re assigned to work with a partner (Isaiah Washington) they are on the look for Drug rings around the neighborhood, they suspect something funny about a man named Latrell Walker (DMX) he is seeing doing dealings with cops and other people. Segal later finds out that Walker is with the good guys, and indeed wants to bring down the corruption...but who do you trust?
The movie is a bit unoriginal in some areas, but Seagal, DMX and the cast do a decent job with what they have. a thing I disliked was that there was to much wire work on the fight scenes. They at least managed to keep the Seagal's doubles minimal. Definitely worth owning even if you're not a Segal fans.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 ½ OUT OF 5

Summary: Heavily, I mean Heavily Clichéd, But Good Nonetheless
Comment: There was a blaxploitation quality about this film which I really enjoyed. I think this was because of the silly cop banter and DMX's hard hitting musical score. But I could also quite easily and oddly see Seagal's character being substituted by a leading African-American actor of the Blaxploitation era and this film making it quite big. As clichéd as it was, it really was a solid lone wolf cop story, which only Seagal could do so well in his forever deadpan way.
Even the slightly silly, over-the-top action sequences had an endearing quality about them. I still laugh, but smile with excitement in the scene where Seagal flicks a gun up to his hands with his feet. Its all in slow motion, the music intensifies, you know doubt will crack up with the ridiculousness of the "move" that Siegel is doing, yet you will feel comforted and at home with the whole ordeal. Thus as I say this film is reminiscent of blaxploitation films, it is also reminiscent of action films of the 90's, for those growing up in that era, like myself. "Three Ninjas", "The Last Action Hero", "Ninja Turtles" all come to mind.
All in all the storyline kept me interested, Steven Seagal was a pleasure to watch and DMX's acting looks promising.

Summary: A great action film
Comment: Steven Segal makes a great action comeback in this movie. His last good movie was Under Siege was his last okay movie was The Glimmer Man. This movie is about dirty cops and Segal is trying to bring them down. DMX who is one of the best rapper/actors is also a good co-star. The only let down for me was the fact that Steven and Micheal Jai White didn't have a longer fight scene. All in All this is one of Segal's best and his late good film.

Summary: Good story
Comment: Unlike other action movies where the action outweighs the story, this movie has a strong plot. There is action in this movie including a massive automatic gun firefight on a bridge at the start of the movie and a good car chase about half way through. What makes Exit Wounds different than other Seagal movies is the plot is very strong in this movie. Where does a good cop go when he suspects there are bad cops in his department? That is the question Seagal must answer. There is not a lot of martial arts in this movie but there is a good amount of gun fights.
