No two ways about it, Spike TV is shit. I was looking forward to "Blade: The Series" and gave it a fair shot but it was horrid. I've heard it has gotten better as the season progressed but I can only hang with a show that dull for so long. I will give Spike TV this, they do provide an outlet for people too cheap (or perhaps too smart) to keep up with the latest in DTV action films.Tonight at 9 they'll be airing THE RUSSIAN SPECIALIST. It's the 2nd film directed by Dolph Lundgren and is far superior to the usual Seagal or Snipes DTV crap. The story is nothing new. Lundgren plays a guy whose family is killed by Russian mobsters. After he believes he has terminated those responsible he tries to assume a quiet life as an auto mechanic. But because this is a Dolph Lundgren film, he his forced to turn his back on that quiet life and resume bringing the pain to the Russian underworld.
It really is a well made film and at times a nasty depiction of revenge. Sadly, Spike will chop up some of the more gruesome moments but if you really want to see the blood hit the floor then go spend $3 or $4 and rent the flick. Doing that will also mean you can watch the film without an endless parade of Axe bodyspray ads that Spike will surely interrupt the flick with.
