User Reviews

Typical, poorly made Vinnie Jones movie. 2/10

Review: I honestly don't know why I torture myself with these Vinnie Jones movies! Although he is plastered all over the front cover, he is only in a couple of scenes, thank God but the rest of the cast isn't that great either. The film is based around an ex CIA agent, John Niles (Johnny Messner), who is drawn back into the dark world of murder and violence, to save his family. With the help of Michael Price (Vinnie Jones) and Detective Tom Weston (Michael Pare), they fight against the evil David Marino (James Remar), against all odds. Some of the action scenes were half decent but the acting was awful and most of the characters got on my nerves after a while. You can tell that the director was pushing his low budget to the max, with the explosions and detailed action scenes but it wasn't enough to save the movie. The one man army theme was pretty unrealistic, and I didn't understand why Marino didn't just hire one of his goons to do the job. Anyway, I really didn't enjoy this movie at all, and I thought it was a total waste of time and money. Awful!

Round-Up: This terrible movie was directed by Timothy Woodward Jr., who took on quite a big project for someone who was born in 1983. Most of his movies have been with B list actors like Danny Trejo and Luke Goss, so the outcome of this movie wasn't really surprising. At such a young age, it is a good way to climb up the movie making ladder but he has to watch out that he doesn't get stuck in making movies in this genre. As my expectations wasn't that high for this movie, I wasn't that disappointed but I still was expecting some form of entertainment.

Budget: $1million Worldwide Gross: N/A

I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/thrillers, starring Vinnie Jones, Johnny Messner, James Remar, Estella Warren and Michael Pare. 2/10
