i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

When I first read the synopsis, I thought, "Are they serious?" So it sounds a tad far-fetched. So maybe more than a *tad. But overall, this was a decent action flick. The best ever? No. But better than many I've watched. It feels like a 24 type movie--when the school phone rang with the 24 scene-change ring-tone, I had to chuckle. This flick lacks Jack Bauer, but the characters are likable, and the actors did great with what they had to work with, though I've never heard of any of them. Many action actors can fight but they can't act. Not true with Matthew Reese. I haven't seen anything else he's been in, but he did a good job with his part. Jennifer Klekas was a hot damsel in distress and she kicked some a$$, too. Although the storyline could be improved to make it more believable, the lines worked with this story. But how many action flicks are all that believable anyway? If you like 24 or some of Jean-Claude's flicks or anything from the Die Hard franchise, you'll probably enjoy this movie. The action sequences were fast-paced and raw. Mostly hand-to-hand combat and not really any explosions. There was a blend of evasion, shooting, and mixed-martial arts. One realistic thing about this movie is the number of bad guys the hero took on simultaneously. It wasn't like a Chuck Norris film where guys stand in a circle holding their guns and only attack one at a time. A Navy Seal could have reasonably handled the amount of assailants that came at this guy. If you're looking for a deeper storyline or character development, keep looking. But enjoy this movie for what it is...a lone hero saves the day. Kudos to the cast and crew for putting together a decent flick on a presumably low(er) budget.

This film doesn't have much in terms of a cast, budget, or acting, but what it lacks in those areas it makes up for by being fun to watch.. somehow.You can tell right off the bat that the film is low budget, not a Hollywood blockbuster, and doesn't feature any big names. The acting is dry and terribly forced in some places, but it doesn't detract from the overall pace or excitement of the film. The action sequences are pretty much non-stop, and you're never left with long patches of dialogue or drawn out scenes with no action -- which, I'll be honest, for this film is a good thing.Anyway, you're presented with a fast-paced action ala one man against a slew of "bad guys" (who this time happen to be North Koreans) in a race against time to save a loved one. It's a pretty typical story, but off skew just enough for it to be enjoyable and not entirely akin to 25 cent action movies from the bargain bin. This, coupled with the abundance of well-choreographed action scenes makes this film a fun ride.Bottom line, if you go in expecting this to be an amazing, thought provocative action film with densely woven plot lines, you'll be rather disappointed. On the other hand, if you go in thinking this is going to be some kind of cheese fest (see "The Marine"), you'll be more than pleasantly surprised. It is the best it can be for what it is, if that makes any sense.

Let me be clear, this is not the movie of the year but this is a decent action movie. Forget the storyline, the acting (which is below average), but for your time you will get: - Some very good fighting scenes: well choreographed, realistic, well paced and above all properly edited. Remember movies such as RE: Apocalypse where you couldn't tell which move was being performed by Ms Jovovich? Well this is the opposite, old style brutal fighting scenes. - A decent spec-op style intro sequence - A very beautiful red hair damsel in distress - One very angry muscular hero. That's it, so you are warned. Go watch it if you like a good "kill you in two moves" kinda film. Otherwise, hit the road.

...I wouldn't mind seeing movies like this. The plot is not special but at least the acting is very bad. When i say very bad, i mean like BAD. Knowing that o bomb have been implanted in your head would make you panic like hell, but no, that's not what is happening with one of our character. She's very chilled about that and acts like a bug injected one egg in her body and a short visit to a doctor would make this problem disappear. Oh, did I mentioned that she's hot? That didn't save her bad acting though.The male protagonist is as bad at acting as the other character interprets, except maybe the actor in the senator's role (Danor Gerald) who's about to be assassinated. He is more natural than any other actor in this movie.There're some fight scenes that are pretty good, but that's not a reason to spend more than an hour watching a movie that will bring you nothing new, nothing to think about and more propaganda about evil countries.Unless you are very bored and you have absolutely nothing to do instead, don't watch this title. Do your shopping for the next month or year and also save some money.
