This is what I'd call a fast paced mess. The problems begin with a vague murder of a DA and dirty cops. If you're thinking unoriginal you're right. All chances to make it the least bit compelling are never addressed. There's absolutely no character development as if that isn't important either. It comes down to a young internist doctor trying to save his hostage pregnant wife. The many holes are ignored about as expected. The action can't even make this film work. I'd say don't waste your time....move along.
