Awful beyond belief

Rating: 2/10 (27 January 2009)

From the opening sequences full of obviously expositional lines all the way through the formulaic and unconvincing fight sequences, and reaching the final, predictable, inevitable and thoroughly boring Hollywood ending this film was a disappointment. I confess that I have high standards for films, and I expect a little effort in the scriptwriting department.
For people who have one or two brain cells to keep their ears warm with, this film is very boring. The film equivalent of paisley wallpaper.
For those who just want a mindless action film masquerading as a thriller, go for it, but don't expect anything that hasn't already been done a thousand times since the mid 70's. Stephen Segal has done the same stuff for years, and in a more entertaining way.
