剧情简介：  Patrick Suavage(尚格云顿饰)刚刚从阿富汗和伊拉克的3年战争生活中归来，现在他在一个私人地区受雇做保镖。客户是一个前世界重量级拳王，他现在经营着一个黑市拳赛。为了保证客户的安全，尚格云顿组织了一个有经验的格斗小组，命名为"The Hard Corps"。 影片幕后：  该片的导演是谢尔登·莱提奇(Sheldon Lettich)，曾经是《血的游戏》编剧。该片使老尚一举成名，后来他还导演过老尚的叠影威龙和铁拳无敌。  《硬汉团》是作为导演的谢尔登·莱提奇和尚格云顿的第四次合作。谢尔登·莱提奇在塑造肌肉男方面轻车熟路，他给尚格云顿设计的角色是一个退伍三年的美国大兵，为了生活给一拳击冠军当保镖。他组建了一支叫做硬汉团的保镖团队来保护冠军的安全。这个世界冠军还有个妹妹，和尚格云顿日久生情。 拍摄花絮：孤胆英雄重出江湖  电影与去年的十一月份开拍，主要场景都在罗马尼亚和加拿大完成。刀锋战士韦斯利·斯奈普斯的"出尔反尔"给电影平添了些许波澜。最早传出的消息是有他扮演拳击冠军，可是在片场却没有见到刀锋的影子，看来身怀绝技的刀锋不屑成为被保护的对象。没有了刀锋，焦点自然集中在了尚格云顿身上，都是老胳膊老腿儿的大叔级人物了，还亲自上阵设计所有的打斗场面。此外该片也是尚格云顿第一次和狗做拍挡。片中的反派肯定要倒霉了，不但要被踢飞，还可能在恶狗嘴下丢掉小命。

　　Having witnessed his junkie father killed Russell Stevens grows up to become a policeman and make a difference. When he is offered an undercover job by Gerald Carver he accepts and begins to build a relationship with David Jason in order to get to the main dealers. However as he is forced to deal drugs and kill to keep his cover he finds the lines between cop and criminal being lost – is he a cop pretending to be a dealer or a dealer pretending to be a cop?
　　Larry (as he was then) Fishburne's first lead role was a typically dark vehicle. The story is the usual one of cop losing himself when undercover, however it manages to be more than that for most of the time. Co-written by Tolkin, who wrote The Player, this naturally has a nice cynical edge to it when it looks at the US's hypocritical approach to drug control and the political links between the street hustlers and the political high rollers who court respectability. The story does eventually settle into a traditional setting but even then it works well as a thriller.
　　The multi-talented Bill Duke directs well with a gritty feel and a few nice touches. However several things are a bit iffy. For most of the film Fishburne's narration/voice over is a bit like a cross between Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner – it comes across as a little too dark and heavy and also explains things like we can't figure it out ourselves. However once you get into the film it's not as big a deal. My main problem lies with the characters.
　　Fishburne is excellent, a real model of underlying anger and violence, Goldblum is good but perhaps a little OTT on the yuppie/violence thing, but there's good support from Smith and Spin City's beautiful (and often underused – but not here) Victoria Dillard. However the two main white characters (Goldblum and Smith) are both smeared with racist insinuations – Smith appears to insult his black officers and doesn't care about the junkies, while Goldblum is fascinated about all things black and talks about them as wild beautiful beasts and loves having sex with "black'. These things aren't a major problem, but with basically only two white characters in it, it's a little worrying that both are given that edge.
　　However these are minor complaints that get lost with a good thriller. Fishburne excels and Duke delivers a story that is a good thriller but also has a jaded, subversive edge.
