You know an action movie is going to be horrible if the soundtrack mainly consists of rap. This movie starts off with rap and has it playing through most of the movie, it's unbearable and really brought down my vote. While watching the opening credits, along with the rap soundtrack, you get treated to all the fighting scenes in the movie so before the movie even starts you've seen pretty much all of the action which is what's supposed to draw you into this movie. While the angle of looking at a drivers face through the rear view isn't a bad shot to use, the director really overdoes the shot by using it every time someone is in a car and more than once each time. The story is decent but nothing special and isn't strong enough to keep you through all the crap. It's too bad Dolph had done this movie, he wants to keep a low profile in the movie industry but this is the absolute wrong way to do it.
