The plot was so implausible, the movie was reminiscent of bad American ethnocentric military might movies of the Eighties. The acting was atrocious. Wesley Snipes who has put out some reasonably decent movies looked like he wished he was somewhere else for most of the movie.
Low budget movies can be forgiven for archaic special effects but not for replaying the exact same bad special effects repeatedly regardless of context for such insignificant details as night/day and appropriate camera angles.
The action scenes were stilted, the old simplistic formula of dozens of bad guys with machines guns can't hit the side of a barn while they are standing in it while the good guys naturally have a one shot one kill habit.
Red neck NRA card carrying American patriots will probably feel some kind of in-the-pants-rise for this movie, everyone else, do yourself a favour and look elsewhere for your cinematic escapism.
Bad. Bad. Bad.
