Goofs

In the opening scene a police black muscle car speeds along a road and into an industrial complex. Ten minutes later the detective's wife is in danger and the car drives on the same road. This could have been coincidence - the industrial place could be between the police station and home - but for one thing. For 98% of the clip it is the only vehicle visible but the very first frames feature others, including a van going the opposite direction. The makers have simply reused the same clip to save peanuts.

User Reviews

Surprisingly good

The story was formulaic and we have seen it all before. But Dean Cain and Big Show give outstanding performances both. The violence is graphic and at one point Dean was showing that he had the chops to play Batman in another life!

This film does not shy away from the blood and violence. There is very little bad language in it though, if any.

One has to suspend belief a lot though. How Big Show's character can do what he does and how the number of murders goes unnoticed, got stupid. When people are being killed who are not even inmates, the rest of the police should have been investigating. Why a cop was put in general population is another mystery.

My score of 7 is probably higher than the story deserves, but Dean Cain's performance earns it an extra two points and made this a very enjoyable watch.
