I may review once it comes out on RedBox. It just plays like a straight-to-video time killer for me.

I agree the plot was a bit of a incomprehensible mess, but I also agree that Maggie Q and Keaton made this worth watching. I was a big Keaton fan back in the day, and he has a little bit of twinkle again in this. He made me laugh a few times.

Fuxk, this was fun. As others have said, it’s a mess. I didn’t really know what was going on half the time, but Mike Keaton and Maggie Q = 🔥 🔥

Sam Jackson had a decent although very small role.

this was way better than I expected.

Kept me entertained for 90 min, but ultimately a dime a dozen action movie

i thought this was a lot of fun. many plot twists that you have little idea are coming. i didn't think the plot was a mess at all. not the most original, but it was definitely pretty straight forward, i liked this one a lot. great action. as others have said, Maggie Q, Keaton, just great. Sam played Sam as always. nice little surprise flick.

what i didn't get was:
Spoiler:
Keaton was working for Hayes (the top dog). so, why did Hayes want him killed and after he failed, why did Keaton still work for him like they weren't trying to assassinate him minutes earlier?




that's the only thing that bugged me, but i'm sure i missed something and hopefully someone can clue me in.

but, great little action flick and another Martin Campbell winner in my book.

FYI for those who haven't seen this and didn't want to buy it, it's now available on Amazon Prime video.
