      Very uneven thriller with some strikingly bad performances. Til Schweiger tries very hard to act his way out of the proverbial wet paper bag, but ultimately he fails, looking and sounding ridiculous most of the time. Many plot elements make little or no sense or they are never resolved by the end. The moral of the story seems to be hunt down and kill anyone who wrongs you, but make them beg for your forgiveness before you retaliate. Nice.

      The script moved well with unexpected revelations that kept my interest in wondering what would happen next. Although I was puzzled by some of the bizzare inserts of the black General and the lying Nun. Most of this story was believable. Not real powerful acting but good enough for a watchable thriller.
