Passable low-budget action movie

Not a bad little actioner. Matt McColm shows impressive martial arts ability...at first I was thinking "Who the hell is this guy?", but it soon becomes clear that he knows his stuff, plus he has a sense of humor about himself. Jason Gould takes the "nerdy computer whiz" role and gives it a human face. And Amanda Pays is a very solid female addition to the cast. The film has quite a lot of action, and an undercurrent of offbeat humor that makes it a little different from your typical low-budget action flick. My main two complaints are: not enough hand-to-hand combat scenes (none for Pays, who does play an ex-marine, after all), and a few too many underwater scenes (and we all know how rarely those work in the movies).
