    • Quotes

      Benjamin Ford: Are you proud of what you did? Or maybe you don't want to forget.

      Emil Kovac: Sometimes things become part of you, whether you want them to or not.

    • Crazy credits
      Being the actual footage only 80 minutes long, the film contains a slow paced, 10 minutes end credits sequence to enlarge the overall running time of the movie.

    Not a masterpiece but it's watchable!
    Apart from the angry folks from the countries that the movie depicts, that gave 1/10 to this movie, it's a nice movie overall.

    It's not a masterpiece and it's actually right on the path of the movies that De Niro has been doing for the past few years. Despite it not being great, I really liked it for what it is. It's supposed to be a thriller with two war veterans and it's just that. It's nothing ingenious but it's a totally decent movie that would be a 6.5 in my book.

    Travolta was good, De Niro is always great cause I adore him as an actor! The action was as much as I wanted, the scenes of the fighting were really realistic and kept me at the edge of my seat. Even this back and forth thing that one was freed and the other was freed and so on and so forth, was nicely done and was not tiring.

    It's a nice rental for a relaxed week night, with some pop corn or a pizza, if you can handle eating with bloody scenes!
