Trivia

When St. John is telling Mills about Oleg Malinkov, he states Malinkov was in the Russian army when they invaded Afghanistan. Sam Spruell, who plays Malinkov, was in reality almost three years old when that occurred. He was born in January, 1977, and the invasion of Afghanistan occurred in December, 1979. See more »

Goofs

Some details show us that the Mountain Chase was shot in Europe : You can see some Triangle Warning Sign on the road. US Standard Warning Signs are 45-degree-tilt Squares. The Crew just hang some US Standard Signs to cover the EU-Standard signs. However, they just left a few. And if we observe them from the back, you can see they were "US cover EU". See more »

Quotes

Stuart St. John: Please, don't hate me. I'm not responsible for what happened.
Kim Mills: I don't hate you, Stuart. But for the last two years, every time I looked into my mom's eyes the only thing I saw was hurt and sadness. And for that, I do hold you responsible.

questionable plot, enjoyable action
23 January 2015 | by thefolenangelSee all my reviews

Bryan Mills, this guy just can't get a break. Ultimately we can say this guy is bad luck Brian.

I have a few questions for the plot, most important is, where did the boyfriend of the daughter go, for the whole movie?Other than that you can not say that the movie is bad, however is not a plot masterpiece.

This movie is kinda indifferent towards itself. Nelson has to use his "skills" one more time, we see action, explosions and naked ladies.

However the feeling that this movie is made for profit does not leave us, during the whole cinematic experience. The movie feels empty, both of fun and development.

The best thing about this is probably Nelson, who at this age still can look as bad ass as ever.

Final judgment: enjoyable, but don't have big expectations.
