Let me start by saying this movie is terrible. I cannot believe all the people involved in this movie thought it was fine to release. The plot is slow, boring, and predictable. The acting by most of the crew is awful. The soundtrack is one of the worst and most inappropriate I have seen used in a movie. Frankly, other than a solid (yet very scene- limited) performance by Mickey Rourke, there is really absolutely nothing going for this film.
I am used to watching good movies, so this one just came across as so bad in my eyes. I figured I had an hour and a half to kill before bed, why not watch an entertaining action flick? That was a big mistake. Even bigger than the one of putting 50 cent in as an actor in this film. I was constantly waiting for this movie to just finish, because I didn't want to cut short an already wasted 45 minutes. Now I wish I had just cut my losses and head to bed early. I realized at the end that I would have rather just done math homework over watching this, at least I would have done something productive, and probably would have been more entertained.
There is so much bad in this movie, I would rather not delve into every single little thing. I just want people to understand this movie is god- awful, and that if someone is even on the fence about watching it, do not. It is not entertaining, it is not funny, it is not slick. 13 is often seen as an unlucky number. Today, it was mine.
