I don't know how this got such a high rating. It's a 3/10 at best. No suspense, acting bad and the fake gun flashes just make the case.
If you're looking for a movie to fall asleep to, this is the one.
I did not enjoyed this at all. seems the lead actress in the film can't make me believe she is the person whom she thinks is the movie., Mr. Lundgren is alright in this movie, he's not known to be in the drama department,.
but I would give a plus 1 to my 2 fave people in this movie, THE ICEMAN and RAMPAGE of THE UFC...
bad plot, mediocre action scenes., Sean Patrick Flanery did his best here portraying the BAD GUY role.
avoid this if you can.

...terrible screenplay and/or editing. I'm not sure why this film needed two directors, but it certainly needed a better screenplay. There are so many plot holes and technical issues with the writing, I'm still trying to figure out many elements of many scenes. There is no excuse for seasoned writers/director/producers Michael Merino and Daniel Zirilli to let this convoluted story go to action.
Directing and cinematography however were on point. The all-star B cast were actually decent, but the annoyingly excessive eye-liner on Natalie Burns kept confusing me with in thinking they cast Criss Angel. The usually annoying and overbearing score in these type of films was actually adequate.
Overall I was actually impressed - not going into this film expecting much, however, had the film been edited properly so there were no questions left to ask, and/or the final script written as such, this film would've been one of the better B-films this year. Sadly it missed the mark, and thus a 6/10 from me.

Some of the worst choreography and acting I've ever seen, how do they get away with it.
I rented this movie based on Dolph Lundgren's name and the plot looked alright. I was expecting one of those low budget DTV action movie and this is mostly what i got.
To be honest, the lead actress who plays Rhona, Natalie Burns, is actually pretty good. Her acting is better than to be expected in these type of movies, and her fight scenes are not bad at all. Sean Patrick Flanery looks like he has fun in his role too. Danny Trejo and Rampage Jackson are simply cameo, do not expect much from them. Surprisingly Dolph and Liddel's action parts were very slow, sluggish and not really entertaining, wich is a bummer.
The plot is pretty simple, and will not amaze you by any means but it kinda do the job.
Where it hurt the most tough is the very low budget production value. The gun special effects are terrible, the picture/lightning/sets look low budget too, and despite the title do not expect any high octane car chases.
But overall i still had a decent time, mostly due to Natalie and Sean's performance and it was fine for a beer friday night movie evening. I think with a much bigger production value, this could had been a pretty solid action flick, but it was not to be. Still end up decent to me tough. But clearly if you are used to big budget action movie, you may not like it.
