Summary of Direct Action
Muscle-bound action hero Dolph Lundgren (ROCKY IV, UNIVERSAL SOLDIER) returns to take the lead role in this nail-biting thriller. Frank Gannon (Lundgren) is nearing retirement from his job on the police force. Sick of the corruption that runs rife throughout the department, he decides to shop his fellow officers to the powers that be. His final days on the force subsequently turn into a nightmare for Gannon, whose colleagues decide to set him up in a drug scam that threatens to tarnish his impeccable reputation. The thrill ride really begins when Gannon tries to prove his innocence, and given just one day to clear his name, he battles against the clock and his fellow officers to ensure that justice is served. Sure to appeal to fans of the LETHAL WEAPON series, DIRECT ACTION is packed full of tension, with Lundgren thoroughly convincing as the beleaguered cop battling to stay on the right side of the law.
