This movie is piece of s**it that I quit watching at last quarter. After I saw its IMDb rating above 7 I hoped from the first crappy minute that it will change to better. But it went from bad to worse each new second. I hate myself for being stubborn and wasting even the shortest part of my life to this film. Avoid it or you'll regret as I did.

Long story short. Don't trust to IMDb ratings until there is much more than 15 votes.

Avoid this in long circle. This is not 7-8 stars movie as some suc**rs voted. It's a piece of crap.

I'm about 50 minutes into the movie and I can't get passed their voicing. I mean seriously, it's like they're all reading from the same script as they're going. It's pretty bad. And don't get me started on the girlfriend; she can't even speak proper English. The main character, Sean Faris, I've seen him in multiple other movies and he's done a good job, not so much great, but good job at the roles he's played. Never Back Down, awesome movie IMO, Forever Strong, same deal. But this, OMG, this is movie is completely unbearable.

It takes about 40 minutes for the movie to even take off and at that point, its halfway over with.

The only thing that's keeping me even remotely interested is the fact that I'm a slight fan of Sean Faris and I love Parkour.

Overall, movie is horrible. Horrible Effects, Horrible Voicing. Horrible Actors. Horrible Plot. Horrible Looking 'Hot Chick' etc.

So I am going to regret saying this. But even Uwe Boll is making better movies. Blasphemy! I know. I did say I was going to regret saying that. When watching the movie I was not really expecting much.But this being about free running I was expecting some decent stunts. If there was some free running involved I barely could make out what was happening because one of the gimmicks was the use of a shaky cam. Whose brilliant idea was that. People not knowing anything about free running must get the wrong impression about this extreme sports. As not single shot shows what free running really is. To top it of they mix in a Battle Royale game and Danny Dyer overacting like he never did before. Seriously I did give this movie a chance. But everything about it is just plain horrible.Avoid!

When I saw that Danny Dyer played a main character in this movie, I was worried that it was going to be just another of his mediocre flicks, but I was actually quite surprised. I was surprised at the fact that this was his most underwhelming role to date!

Danny Dyer has played acceptable roles as the underling to hard men in some of his previous movies, but it seems that in a few of his recent movies, he's been elevated to 'boss-man' status, and his acting inabilities are now shining through.

When I read the plot, I thought the movie had a little potential, but terminal disappointment set in after 15 minutes, and all I could do was wait impatiently for the monotonously predictable ending.

I have nothing against Danny Dyer per se, but giving him a lead role in any movie is a recipe for serious face palming.

I'm feeling generous, so I'll give it 3/10

This was an OK action movies, it wasn't all bad. I would give this about a 7, because the first 30 or 40 minutes were too slow and hard to get through without yawning. A lot of people seem to like Sean Faris, but he is just average to me. One thing that annoyed me is the accent of the love interest, talk about making your ears hurt. If it wasn't for the stunts and my brother wanting to watch this movie, I probably would have not finished the movie, but I did. Mr. Faris illegal antics to bet and win (on himself) to get him and his family out of town backfired and the action begins. The actors could have delivered their lines better, it just seem too forced and not the right emotions. The chase and racing does keep you entertained otherwise the movie would put you to sleep.Overall the movie is fun and the action scenes don't hurt either. The plot could have been better but hey this is what you get.
