The 2nd

This movie is awesome if you're looking to see how terrible a movie can be. I just couldn't stop watching. Felt the same way as when I'm on the casino losing money and I know I need to leave but I can't. I wanted to change it so bad I just couldn't. Now I'm wondering if Ryan Phillips had a family member kidnapped and was forced to do this movie.

How did Ryan Phillipe end up in this project? The execution of each scene, camera work, dialogue and action sequences are just not coming together. You can tell how a film is going to go in the first 5 minutes. Actually 2 minutes. I stopped watching after 5 minutes even with fast forwarding.

Technically there are just too many things wrong with this one unless you are completely mindless. From a security standpoint no-one properly trained in security during the intro would A: Permit a cell phone unless it was in a secure transmission blocking case or bag. B: A bodyguards job is to take the bullet instead of the client. That said if there were bulletproof vests, the client would wear one. C: While in transit blending in is important a vehicle that could outrun, and stand up to impacts is a priority. D: If the client is running for president they get secret service. E: No trained security would be chatting about their day and joking while on task. This is all in the first two minutes of the film. What a joke. Than there is a host of other tactical, and technical errors. What SF operator leaves enemies behind alive? Wow then there is six blocks of C4 going off, and leaving people 100 feet away alive which is virtually impossible. The acting has no emotions appropriate to the scene. The acting is wooden, the characters unbelievable, the direction is almost non existent. The script is a real dog of a script, better put out of its misery. Never mind about the sets, casting, etc., etc. Do yourself a favour, unless you are a fan boy, or girl, give this one a miss.

After Shooter we've seen that Ryan Phillipe can act the role of a soldier. But it needs proper direction and cinematography.

The action sequences looks like someone is playing, and then a few muscle flashes has been edited in afterwards.

Acting is bad. Effects are bad. Score is bad. It's just a bad movie (which could have been great)

The script is so terrible that it could have been written by a 12 year old, and the directing is even worse. Some of the main actors try hard but their lines are just plain cringe worthy. I find it difficult to believe that people get paid to make movies this bad.
