I don't know what people are expecting but this was a decent action movie. The actors were good. It had a good plot. The action was well done. I think the only thing missing was Lorenzo lamas doesn't throw any kicks because he's a boxer in the movie. This movie is not anything special but it's entertaining and does not deserve a low rating because it's a standard direct-to-video movie. Danny Trejo only in a few scenes where there's talking but if you're a fan of Lorenzo lamas it's worth your time.

I've done some film work myself and I can tell weak, reading off of the script, ahem, "my character says this" acting from being into it and committed to the character. The boy is unconvincing and wooden and the fight scenes look like a class in acting school. When the lead actor fights the bald guy he stands like he is waiting patiently to be punched. I'm glad I got it from red Box because in the theater it would have been time to go get coffee. If you like student level film, it might be for you.

Sorry to say, but this film is about as lame as they come, as it contains loads of wooden and stilted dialogue and acting.

Lorenzo Lamas stars as Danny "Boy" Jackson, a veteran and popular boxer who's never had a shot at the title. Now, he's scheduled to meet the champ but all purses will go to charity, so it's more for honor than anything else.

However soon after arriving at his motel, his 14-year-old son Jamie is kidnapped and taken hostage. Danny will learn the kidnappers are human traffickers and that he'll have to act quickly to save his son. Thus, the remainder of the movie will involve Danny frantically trying to locate and recover Jamie.

If you're looking for a lot of Danny Trejo, who's featured on the DVD jacket, he's only in a few scenes in a backup role. To note, there were no subtitles on my DVD copy, but I was able to access them on my closed captions in my remote.

Overall, I just found this film to be below B-movie quality and I would say it's probably not worthy of your time.
