    This movie is your everyday shoot em up bang bang movie. It was referred to me by a friend who said it was great. So I had high hopes when I watched it. The main character did dodge one too many bullets and got out of one too many hot spots but that's what to expect in a shoot em up movie. All in all it was good and still worth the rental.

    This is one of those movies that slip past public appeal, but were still fantastic in their own right. This movie is a story of everything-goes-wrong-to-this-one-guy, and eventually he has nothing to lose, which is a dangerous thing. I'd highly recommend this movie as a great action flick, with amazing characters, and a dash of romance thrown in it.

    As a fan of Natasha Henstridge and the director, I was longing for so much more. While the start of the film was promising, as well as the buildup to the protagonist meeting his lady love (MS. Henstridge), she is killed abruptly, and the film has a peculiarly truncated and unsatisfactory ending. Such a shame for a film that stylistically could have been so much more...
