Entertain the dark side of yourself

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2008)

This is really a quite nonsensical and completely implausible film and not to be recommended to anyone that seeks anything more substantial. The first ten-fifteen minutes are quite embarrassing for everyone involved. Then there is non-stop action. And here is where all the (six) stars come from, well executed action, no less. No need to write anything about the plot other than that the seventeen-year old daughter of a US-trained killing machine get kidnapped by the Albanian mob. He finds all the bad guys, kills everyone and rescues his daughter. Again, the ending was embarrassing. The emotions displayed by the young woman been through kidnapping, drug abuse, the death of her best friend and most probably rape (although never mentioned), was something that felt like the passing of an old aunt. So, what about the dark side. Well, nothing more than that you kind of enjoy the endless killing of all the worthless people involved in slavery and prostitution. Definitely a waste of time, but still very entertaining.
