    Storyline

    Edit
    Vladik Zorich (Dolph Lundgren), crime lord whose tentacles permeate the underbelly of a seedy Los Angeles as he deals in guns, gambling, drugs and skin trafficking, finds himself double-crossed by his most trusted operative Rhona Zyocki (Natalie Burn). Vladik's propensity for power, control, and violence drives him to kidnap Rhona's young son, forcing Rhona to participate in a planned elimination of Vladik's enemies and identities. As her son's life hangs in the balance, Rhona struggles to find and kill Vladik's most violent and twisted foes and regain valuable goods and information, all in one fateful night. To keep her on a short leash, Vladik sets out the 'rules' to his 'game' and overseas Rhona's every move as she navigates the darkened streets of Los Angeles. However, Vladik underestimates the power of a mother's love, and finds himself losing control as his devious plan slowly unravels. —Edited by Radeef Bilal

    Opportunity missed with...
    ...terrible screenplay and/or editing. I'm not sure why this film needed two directors, but it certainly needed a better screenplay. There are so many plot holes and technical issues with the writing, I'm still trying to figure out many elements of many scenes. There is no excuse for seasoned writers/director/producers Michael Merino and Daniel Zirilli to let this convoluted story go to action.

    Directing and cinematography however were on point. The all-star B cast were actually decent, but the annoyingly excessive eye-liner on Natalie Burns kept confusing me with in thinking they cast Criss Angel. The usually annoying and overbearing score in these type of films was actually adequate.

    Overall I was actually impressed - not going into this film expecting much, however, had the film been edited properly so there were no questions left to ask, and/or the final script written as such, this film would've been one of the better B-films this year. Sadly it missed the mark, and thus a 6/10 from me.
