A really beautifully shot film, nice effects and pretty much good acting by the cast. Understandably Willis didn't participate much due to health reasons but those of us of a certain age can't help but remember his stellar action performances back in the day and it's hard not to be frustrated watching him not perform to his potential.

That being said it's the story that lets this movie down, it tries to be clever and it probably appears to be on paper, or by those who are up close. Unfortunately though it doesn't work. I can put this down to the way in which several characters are not given much in the way of development and remain very much two-dimensional.

You really don't care about their back story, which I understand doesn't seem important as we are told they are all criminals, but if that's the case why bother giving us an insight into them. All of their stories are left flapping in the wind with no coherent energy to stitch them together, or just bring them to a neat conclusion.

The film just feels unfinished and rushed.

The story had potential but there was so many inconsistencies with the characters that it completely destroyed all emersion. They were so busy trying to push the idea that this character is the tough female cop, this character is the dumb cop, this character is the caring doctor, this character is the religious zealot, etc., that they were not believable. It reminded me of a first draft that you haven't read through to flesh out, fix the logic holes, and make everything is consistent.

Sad because it was boring and sad because it will be one of Bruce's last movies. I hate to think many will judge him on this movie and others like it. He doesn't have much of a part in it but he does well for what he has to work with. I actually found myself nodding off several times. That in itself is sad for a so-called action movie.
