They catches Axle and traps the other. From out of nowhere Sidwyg brings Mr. Smith on gun point and they strike a deal that Larter and Sidwyg will leave the state and the smuggling while they let Axle and Jon go.

Total Profit: $1,179,896
Reaction: While the original film was unsuccessful at the box office, we felt that the world of the film perfectly suited the area of DTV action films such as the Death Race and The Marine series. This film, however, was not quite the success that the DTV Eclipse sequel was.
