Editorial Review:
On Christmas Eve 1999, two employees of the New York water company fall into a long-closed tomb beneath a water main. A Native American archaeologist (Françoise Robertson) discovers that the tomb contains the bones of a Templar, a sect of religious knights charged with protecting a golden key--the key to the bottomless pit in which the Antichrist is imprisoned. She's promptly attacked by the minion of the Antichrist, an ancient demon that possesses human bodies. Just as swiftly, she's defended by a hunky contemporary Templar, played by the increasingly craggy Dolph Lundgren. They concoct a plan to sink the key into a pit of toxic waste, and take off to a storage facility on her native reservation with the demon in hot pursuit, hopping from body to body. The Minion wastes little time in getting the action under way, but there's not a lot of imagination and almost no special effects. Lundgren intones such statements as "There is no joy in sin" and "Every human being I touch, I may have to kill," while a heavy-metal guitar wails on the soundtrack. Something of a cross between The Hidden and End of Days. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - It would have gotten less stars if it weren't for Dolph Lundgren
First of all, this film suffers from some really poor casting. My husband is part Native-American, and his entire family is Native, and I know what they look like. Excuse me, but the lead actress didn't look very Native American. Pardon my un-PC stance, but I think that actors should look like the races or cultures they are portraying unless they are portraying a person of mixed background! Also, Dolph Lundgren played a Russian, again. Why is he being typecast again as a Russian? He looks like ... Read More

This is an awesome movie; I love action pack movies and I am a fan of Dolph Lundgren. I have review many of his movies and he has been excellent in all of them.
Rating:  - Save your money. If you really have to see it, rent it.
First off, I am a big fan of Dolph Lundgren. I say that so you will know that I'm not just sitting here writting a review for a film staring someone that I do not like in the first place. The Minion, what can say about this movie. One word, terrible. From start to finish, it was just bad. Dolph's acting was wooden, the script was bad, the directing was bad and the supporting cast were bad, particularly the guy who played the lead investigating officer, you guessed it! The movie looked cheap and its main ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome movie!!!
This movie is great, I was very entertained by it. Im a big Lundgren fan anyway, and it was cool to see him without a gun every once in awhile in a movie. The acting was very good i thought, he did awesome as he always does. The story and the plot was really awesome, and the Biblical references were great on the key and so on. God works in mysterious ways, well check this movie out its great!
Rating:  - Pretty Bad
This movie is really really a stinker. All the action is poorly done, and comes off even cheasier then it should. Most of the acting is horrible, and the story is bland. Nothing in this movie does what it should (hello it can't even keep its religions straight). I would say that it was because of a low budget, but the movie had $12,000,000. They could at least have made some of the fights look good, but sadly no. If you are in need of a good horror movie rent "Kolobos" or "Bloody Murder" ... Read More
