Sinopsis(1)
El agente del FBI Jake Malloy (Silvester Stallone) ha visto a algunos compañeros morir a manos de un asesino en serie de policías. Cuando el psicópata mata a su novia Mary, Jake pierde los papeles. Sabe que el perturbado ha asesinado a Mary para atacarle a él y, atormentado por su incapacidad para salvarla, se entrega a la bebida. En su martirio se le niega incluso la posibilidad de saborear su venganza, pues el asesino decide acabar con su vida suicidándose. Abandonado al alcohol, su amigo, el agente Charlie Hendricks (Charles S. Dutton), le recomienda un centro de desintoxicación para policías situado en Wyoming. El sitio, un antiguo local de operaciones de la guerra fría situado en medio de un páramo helado, lo dirige el expolicía Doc (Kris Kristofferson), su ayudante Hank (Tom Berenger) y la psiquiatra Jenny Munroe (Polly Walker). Malloy y otros nueve policías quedan internados en el edificio para enfrentarse a sus demonios, pero un temporal corta la electricidad y bloquea las carreteras y el grupo se encuentra aislado con temperaturas bajo cero. Los internos empezarán a caer y Malloy se verá atormentado por el pasado cuando sus pesadillas se mezclen con la realidad. (Universal Pictures España)

D-Tox: Ojo asesino es un thriller en el que A no tiene nada que ver con B, y después de B viene D. El montaje debe tener la culpa. Nadie invertiría 55 millones de dólares en un guión tan estúpido. Pobre Sylvester Stallone, se esforzó tanto actuando....

D-Tox could be split into three parts. At the beginning we have the classic hunt for a killer, this is followed by an existential drama where Sly unsuccessfully tries to wring some deeper emotions out of himself, and then comes a murder spree in a cramped space from which there is no escape, following the template "the killer is among us and guess who survives". Shot in widescreen format, D-Tox was originally supposed to be released in cinemas, but after disastrous test screenings, it was relegated to VHS. No wonder, given the leaky, hackneyed script and the visuals of a cheesy B-movie.

I have to say that it’s certainly not the disaster I expected. Sure, with its cast, it’s undoubtedly among the biggest B-movies of the early 2000s, but Stallone managed to carry his role quite decently. The story was quite engaging, especially the opening scenes outside the asylum, where a few script decisions pleasantly surprised me. After that, it turns into a rather formulaic spectacle with all the typical flaws, and the twists are predictable minutes in advance. When they don’t work out, it’s mainly because the plot gets twisted in an incredibly crazy way by the end. Among the supporting characters, Robert Patrick was entertaining with his sharp-tongued remarks; his lines were spot-on. Otherwise, the ending was standard and could have been better executed. But for a filler on a lazy afternoon, it’s a decent choice that certainly won’t offend. For me, it’s 6/10.
