    • Trivia
      Georges St-Pierre was not paid to be in this movie with money. In exchange for his performance, he wanted Steven Seagal.to teach him the same secret front kick that Seagal to Anderson Silva.
    • Goofs
      In the shot when Steven Seagal and Georges St-Pierre fall off a ledge during their fight, Steven Seagal is obviously replaced with a stunt-double who is much thinner and has a completely different face.

    What More Can Be Said At This Point?
    What more can be said at this point? Steven Seagal, appearing slow as a sloth in the action scenes he's in, is cast in another hackneyed mess of a movie. Here he portrays a top DEA agent trying to get to the bottom of a botched U.S. Marshal protection plan for an Eastern European drug cartel boss, who was supposed to be transported to America, from Romania, to testify against his crime family.

    As you might expect lots and lots of bloody carnage either with guns or martial arts sequences. The movie is very drawn out, as well, and by the time it ended I had zero interest in how it all turned out.
