I put 4 stars because the director managed to at least make it look like a local TV movie. You would have given MG a theoretical or artistic contribution to the production, MG if you continue like this, better go into horror movies, I think it will be more emotional than seeing this type of demotivating action movie.

In the action parts of the movie, I don't know if they wanted to put the slow effects like the matrix movies, they were tremendously slow and boring in my opinion.

Where was the plot, the story was all over the place and the acting woeful ,why was this even made...a low budget film not worthy of being on the screen, avoid at all cost.

Only watched because I like Cole in Yellowstone. Where do I start, load music played over every conversation, you can't hear a word people are saying. It looks like it may been filmed using an iPhone 1, camera is constantly shaking. No plot to speak of, but that may be because I had to stop watching 30 mins in. Do not waste your time.

And not one of them noticed the sloppy incoherent lazily-written convoluted and cliched nonsense of a so called screenplay? And they all greenlit the final cut to market? Like what was with the long dragged out and boring intimate scenes? It seems the writers put all their effort in those parts. Everything else seemed like a bunch of screenplays for this genre were put in a shredder then randomly pieced together for this story. To make things worse, this was directed by the Crank movie series Mark Neveldine. Isn't experience supposed to make you better, instead of giving the viewers this sub-par 1980's slow-mo-filmed amateur nonsense? I guess we now know that Neveldine's partner in the Crank series Brian Taylor was clearly the brains and talent of the two. I'm assuming this was a low budget film, but the horrible shaky cam filming is inexcusable. A handheld gimbal stabilizer for an iPhone only costs $50. This felt like it was filmed on a flip-phone by someone having a seizure. Between the horribly confusing writing and shaky camera work, I still have a headache. The only thing this film was missing was Bruce Willis. Then I could understand the failure. But I feel bad that Gibson got stuck in this mess, he's better than this. It's a generous 3/10 from me, all going towards the hotties (only worthwhile viewing) and sympathy points for Gibson.

Not nearly a 3 score for me. More like 5.

Then again, I personally am not a hater and dislike every film.

The film has major flaws. But Mel Gibson and Cole Hauser are awesome.

I think it was marketed so badly because it leads you to believe it's more action than it really is.

It's espionage and a little bit of action.

This is a turn-your-brain-off film.

I recommend for fans of Cole Hauser.

5/10.
