    OK Just OK

    Cliché after cliché. Bad cops, questionable parole officer, gold digger, dumb brother-in-law - all the usual suspects. I made it through to the end - just barely. There were a few plot twists, but not enough to make it that interesting. Simply too predictable. OK if absolutely nothing else is on - but just OK. Nothing compelling here - move along.

    Not very good

    Just saw this and was terribly disappointed. I'm a fan of Robert Patrick but unfortunately he had a smaller role in this movie. The acting by everyone was average and almost seemed as if they all sort of phoned in their performances. Not sure if this was the directors fault or just a lack of interest in the material by the cast, but it really affected the film. The story covered no new ground and felt quite dated which made it a bit boring. It didn't help that the storyline was not very original. The dialogue was filled with clichés and the humor missed its mark. There's some action, but definitely nothing too engaging or inventive. There are so many better action dramas to watch than this one. Tell seemed to miss the mark in most areas and consequently wasn't worth the time to watch it. I gave this a 3 star rating because I like Robert Patrick, but otherwise I would have rated this even lower.

    2 STARS - way below average film, don't even bother

    Where to begin: this thing is so predictable, no humor or levity, bland unoriginal dialogue, a poorly shot chase scene, I couldn't force myself to finish it. A real waste of my time.

    Bullets blondes and blood

    A great B film that has been overlooked. Fine cast that turn in excellent performances. Actors you have seen quite often really shine here. Milo brings it home, sly Stallone would be proud. Do not let this one pass you by especially if you are crime genre fan.

    Ouy vey, the gaffer wants to be a director...

    Pretty much unwatchable. Lousy script. Amatuerish direction. Choppy editing. Sub-standard production values.

    Number 1: Whoever hired a gaffer to be the director should be banned from making films altogether. Number 2: Whoever read this script and decided to purchase it from the 'writer' (a bit TV actor from four decades ago) should stick with reading Teen Vogue. Number 3: Whoever cast Milo in the lead role of this should be demoted to craft services. Number 4: Whoever rated this film higher than 2 or 3 stars was directly involved in the film.

    Yes...it really is that bad!
