Surprisingly bad

Rating: 1/10 (19 May 2013)

As my summary suggests, this movie was really bad. Amazingly bad. I didn't come into the movie expecting it to change my life, but I was expecting it to be halfway decent. How a movie like this gets made with such an awful script is to me, nothing short of astonishing.
I won't go into the story line, partly because this can easily be found in the IMDb summary, but mostly because it's so poor I have a feeling my description of the story will in fact be better than the movie.
OK, if it's not clear already, I think the script was written by hacks. Lee Child is involved, so for those of you familiar with his work, this should come as no surprise.
This movie is B grade "straight to video" quality. It's almost so bad it's good....but not quite.
In saying that, if this was directed by Tarantino it would be a masterpiece! Unfortunately it's not, and it's not.
1/10. Go watch a Steven Seagal movie instead, it would probably have a better script, better acting, and be better directed.
