Exit 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 story is set in Detroit; however many goofs in production make it apparent that most of the movie was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Hamilton, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta.
Stuntman 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.

[edit] Plot
The movie tells the story of a tough urban detective who is banished to the worst precinct for being too rough and tough. There, he finds signs of a huge drug ring, and the only person who can help him uncover it is a suspected drug dealer, even though things are not what they seem to be. The drug dealer actually turns out to be a decent guy trying to help his brother. DMX and Seagal join forces to take on a drug operation. The movie is an action movie and full of twists and turns.
[edit] Commercial
Exit Wounds was considered a surprise hit movie as it grossed over $50 million in America and at the same time was hailed as Seagal's big "comeback". Nevertheless many long 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).
