I really hope that at some point he does have a big break because he is quit an athlete in martial arts.
He played in a few average movies with Van Damme, and masked characters in big motion pictures.
The last 3 movies i saw from here where just awful Zero Tolerance what a dumb movies and Scott was wasted in there, Re Kill again awful and last night i got to see Close range again terrible.
Maybe he should choose is role better, Ninja 1-2 where really good, the undisputed series and a few more.

Agree with your opinion on close range
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

The Ninja and Undisputed series are consistently solid. I personally thought Day of Reckoning was a decent experimental entry into the Unisol franchise. He's slowly entering into major productions on a frequent basis right now, so that might be the reason some of his DTV material has been lacking recently.
I agree that Close Range was a major disappointment. I don't think it was Scott's fault. Florentine dropped the ball on that one. Cheap use of locations, and almost no standout action sequence aside from the intro (which was almost entirely shown in the trailer).

Don't know yet if it is a step up. Bourne Ultimatum could be a step up, but his part was too small. Expendables 2 was a step up, but his part was just another Boyka.
Adkins is better than a one-trick pony, but even his extra tricks are getting old. And that's coming from a fan who loves Undisputed 2, 3 and Special Forces.

Suggestions?

Close Range was made by Issac Florentine,who Scott has worked with on a few occasions,I thought it was a pretty good movie and I also like Zero Tolerance
RE Kill was okish.
IDK if he will ge5b4t a big break he is only offered supporting/minor roles in movies,his only big Role in a big budget movie was Legend of Hercules and that movie bombed. He got cast in Dr Strange,but I don't think its gonna be a big role it would be cool if he was playing IRon Fist
I'm gonna show you something beautiful everyone screaming for mercy
