Ok, so as you can see the reviews and ratings are all over the place on this one. I save the 1* ratings/reviews for the truly bad stinkers out there. As in people who can't and shouldn't act and never should've been cast and movies that are so bad they never should've been made, let alone put out for the public to see.

That being said, this is not one of those movies. It has Jason Mamoa in it for crying out loud! The actors and acting were just fine and they did a good job. What falls short is the script, and that's not the actors fault. They can only work with what they're given to work with. If you give the greatest sculptor in the world trash to work with, he can only create more trash.

The plot was not so bad either it was just executed very, very poorly. Big pharma pulls a certain medication needed to keep his wife alive from cancer and she dies cause of it. Any man would go off the deep end. That being said, like I said the story is what's crap. It's been done before and done way better. The twist was just lazy and unimaginable. Because it was lazy and dull it then caused the rest of the movie to be crappy.

The action and fight scenes are so unbelievable it just takes you out of the movie and ruins it all together. It was too long too. Right when it felt it should've ended, surprise slap in the face and 20 more mins of garbage.

If you like action and can leave your brain turned off and like Jason Mamoa then check it out, maybe you'll like it. I on the other hand can't turn my brain off when the movie is presented to me as being, or supposed to be realistic and non realistic things happen throughout the entire movie.

This movie is summed up halfway through by Jason Momoa's character when he says "We need to pull over here until I can figure out what's going on" Yeah, you and me both mate. Full of characters you neither love nor hate and with a story that is all over the place, this is almost a complete waste. Of everything. 5.5/10.

Pretty standard revenge thriller with surprising twist that most audience will complain about. Though felt bland at times, Brian Andrew Mendoza still offered some nice action scenes over political and pharmaceutical issues. Momoa & Merced together made a good passing time.

But, grab some popcorn, leave your brain at the door and enjoy. It's alright.

Netflix is rapidly becoming or perhaps has become the new Asylum/Anchor bay, releasing half baked movie after half baked movie and this one is no different, the actors were great, the actors were the only thing keeping this thing together but by god, the script was terrible, the camera work was terrinble, i mean dear god did they find the only camera person with parkinson's or what.. its becoming very sad, maybe 1 in 30 netflix movies is good the rest are just garbage, i realise this review has spent more time focusing on netflix than the movie itself and thats partly because theyre to blame, put up any netflix movie poster and youll see, theyre all pretty much the same. Kinda like the hallmark christmas movie, youve seen one hallmark christmas movie, you've seen em all, just different actors.
