Quotes:

[repeated line]
Helen Bingham:[every time she kills somebody] Do you need a moment?

It Could been....

This is proof that money, gorgeous women, solid acting and beautiful locales cannot overcome a silly, unbelievable story.

The story starts out as a buddy movie with 2 goofy American guys starting a business in Europe. Then, they cross paths with the gorgeous Cat and all hell breaks loose. The focus of the story then changes to another 'bad American govt official in cahoots with ruthless Eastern European arms dealers". And then it gets REALLY silly. And not fun silly. They tried to throw in a few jokes but it is just a muddled mess.

The Un-believability factor is ridiculously high. You'd think that Europeans hear gun shots all of the time and do nothing about it.

But, if there is a reason to see this movie it is Janet McTeer who steals every scene she is in, doing a better impression of Helen Mirren than even Helen Mirren can do. She is cold, ruthless, efficient and believable, to a certain extent.

It started out as a Guy Ritchie type movie, devolves into overblown James Bond type silliness and then the bodies start stacking up like cord wood.

The 2 lowest points are the African American guy doing a Scottish Accent and then later, getting everyone out of a jam by picking up his kilt. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.

The 2 main guys are very likable but under used, Paz Vega started out as the star but then acts as scenery, not even DL Hughley can save it in the 90 seconds of screen time he gets.

This could have been a good movie. They spent a lot of money making it. They should have spent more time writing it. This movie is under cooked.

Watch it with low expectations. And enjoy the eye candy. That's it.
