Exit Wounds
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:Exit Wounds.jpgExit Wounds is a 2001 action movie based on the book, Exit Wounds, written by John Westermann. The movie was directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, and stars Steven Seagal as an urban detective notorious for pushing the limits of the law in his quest for justice. The movie is supposed to be set in Detroit, however many goofs in production prove that most of the movie was filmed in Toronto, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta.
Tragically, stuntperson Chris Lamon was killed during the filming of this movie. He and another stuntperson were supposed to roll safely out of a van travelling upside down on a street, but Lamon apparently hit his head and was mortally injured. He died six days after the accident.

The movie is an action movie and full of twists and turns.
Commercial
Exit Wounds was considered a surprise hit move as it grossed over $50 million in America and at the same time was hailed as Seagal's "comeback". Still old time fans of Seagal protested the use of special effects, lack of focus on their idol and the "fakeness" of the stunts (that used wires).
