Just what I expected

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I have just finished watching this movie on TV and I hurried here to say how impressed I am by the superb craftsmanship behind it. This is not your average crime movie and I'm absolutely stunned to read the fiercely negative reviews by other posters. Didn't they notice the talented cast, the original touch of the creators and, most of all, the movie's emphasis on the power of coincidence?Yes, there are many coincidences in this movie. As a matter of fact, as far as I'm concerned, it shows how a long string of unfortunate coincidences can move your life forward and determine your fate. As someone who has observed this aspect of life for a long time, I am beyond delighted to see how the authors of the movie, the person who conceived and wrote the script, are drawing attention to this as coincidence is something most people fail to notice. Is this why most posters on this page failed to see what is plain to me?I guess they expected to see a plot that nobody has ever seen before. That's understandable but not everything that can make a movie great. Sometimes the beauty is in the details or in the way they fall and meet together. This is one of those rare movies for me. Please note that I haven't said a thing about the plot because I don't want to spoil it for you and get banned from IMDb - you have all the power to see it and decide for yourself and disagree with me if you wish, for that's your right. I just want to attract your attention to what I think is its defining feature.I also believe that the story is very logical, indeed. Perhaps it is because, having seen how life has been a chain of coincidences for many people around, this movie appears entirely realistic to me. Beyond realistic, in fact. Others could call it "contrived" for the same reason but I would and will not. It just takes a pair of eyes and a bit of experience in the movie's direction to fully accept and agree with its viewpoint.Thank you for listening and I wish a pleasant viewing to anyone who will brave the negative reviews.

The storyline was decent. Ian Somerhalder and Ruda Gedmintas were great but David Scheller who plays the Assassin, FBI agent Devlin and Dulcie Smart who plays FBI Agent Kat Vasquez ruined the entire movie. Their acting is so horrendous it was painful for me to watch. At times the dialogue was weak, not one of the writers, Chris Artiga-Oliver, Thomas Jahn strong suits. Due to the faux pas of a few poor casting choices and poor writing (dialogue), I have to give this film a 4 out of 10. I cannot say I regret watching this movie because in my opinion, Ian Somerhalder saved me from being left with the feeling that I wasted a small portion of my life that I will never get back again.

Man whose wife is having an affair with his boss stops at the scene of a car accident and unwittingly saves the life of a killer who is the target of a hit by two FBI agents. The man's good deed results in his becoming a target for the Feds, and he's chased about with a waitress he meets along the way. Odd thriller that seems to have been made in Germany by a Euro-crew in English. Playing more like a beefed up made for Lifetime TV thriller with blood and some nudity this film has a polished sheen but little connection to reality. I'm still not sure where this is suppose to be taking place since some of the verbal references made me think it was the US while the mix of accents and locations made me think Europe. The odd sense of place makes the film seem unreal and you never buy a good number of the plot twists since you don't buy basic setting. Not bad as such, but nothing I would really want to pay to see again.

A really bad movieThis movie, even though with Ian Somerhalder and Ruta Gedmintas whom are hot and good actors fail to make an impression. This low-budget movie couldn't get any worse. Some scenes were plain stupid, you'll know what i'm talking about if you've seen it. In one scene at the hospital, there is a guy who tries to talk to IAN with a gun hidden behind his back, but from the point of Ians view it's easy to spot the gun, since it has a silencer. And half of the gun pops out of his back, really badly done, and of course IAN does not see this. What a laugh!The chemistry between IAN and RUTA is acceptable in this movie but their acting is really bad, though the bad acting from the rest of the cast kind of overshadows IAN, so even though they act bad, they still act the best.There is no variety to the scenes in this movie, they shoot the entire film in "his apartment" "job" "coffe house" And thats it. The lack of variety made the movie boring.The plot in this movie is really cliché, the good old set-up-story. Two men whom lies about working for the federal bureau, but in reality? alleged assassins of some kind. Didn't get the whole part as the movie really did not explain some things, or i wasn't really paying attention during this sleeping pill of a movie.Watching this movie will really make you feel sorry for the directors and everybody involved. The script is horrible, acting and the shots. It was really amateurely done, even I could have done this movie...better.Only thing which makes this at any way worth seeing is IAN and RUTA, the two pretty faces.. but even that is bad..//Axileas
