    Bland drama punching above it's budget & failing miserably.

    Billed as an Action Thriller this movie lacks both in spades, it's more of a drama with implied tension.

    It's one of those movies with a story/plot that requires a bigger budget & a much better director.

    Tyrese Gibson was a strange & poor choice as the protagonist, his rather amateur acting ability is glaringly obvious against the likes of John Malkovich,Michael Jai White & Christopher Backus.

    Too many amateur actors given far to much pointless screen time & dialogue slows the story & kills any attempt at this being a thriller, pointless unrealistic action scenes are poorly choreographed & do nothing to further the plot or story.

    Handled correctly with a competent & imaginative director this could have been a decent low budget thriller, instead it becomes a training film on how not to make a movie.

    Horrible

    1 out of 5 stars.

    Horrible and dumb. Dumb plot. Action is horrible. Acting is tedious. Script is filled with dumb characters and just flat out terrible.

    Be prepared for a terrible movie

    This movie may quite literally be the worst movie I've ever sat down and willingly watched. It's sad to see John Malkovich in this. The plot is the same basic action movie plot with many unreasonable things happening and, on top of that, painfully cringe-worthy acting. If there was a way to rate this under 1 star, I would swiftly take that opportunity.

    A new level of BAD

    It starts off so bad I figured it had to get better.

    It didn't it got worse I can't believe I didn't turn it off.

    The story is bad the acting is bad the characters are not likeable, what more can I say.

    I compare movies like this to one of the worse movies I ever watched, but this is worse than Bunnyman.

    This movie sets a new level of bad for me to compare to.

    There are so many things bad about this movie I don't want to waste more of my time even talking about it.
