Woo is folly. Here, at least.

Jack Devlin is a bodyguard for high paying clients and his latest assignment has him protecting a supermodel from a killer. Deviln's weakness is fear of the color white (yes you read that correctly) and this killer he is after knows that proving his capture to be difficult.

This film is John Woo from beginning to end and any fan of the action director will instantly recognize that. Slow motion, dual handguns, fairly relentless action, and a strong focus on characterization. The problem is the film is boring. And I mean BORING. Main reason being that while it contains many traditional Woo elements, they are presented on such a small scale and so underdeveloped that it is almost sad to acknowledge that this is John Woo action picture when it actually feels like a third-rate wannabe copycat of a John Woo action picture.

With almost every scene you'll just be going "that's it?" Unforetunately yes, that is it. 4/10

Rated R despite limited violence

One of John Woo's worst movies

This is definitely not one of John Woo's best movies. This made-for-TV American Canadian co-production was supposed to be a pilot for TV series under the same name with Dolph Lundgren as the star. Since the TV series were never made you can only guess how bad this movie is. It's hard to believe that Woo made this after the great "Face off". I guess Woo wanted to earn few dollars and had some spare time.

The script is unoriginal , predictable , full of cliché characters and based on a nonsense that Lundgren is afraid of colour white. It's hardly the most exciting plot device in the world, because it's so stupid. This allows the movie for some laughable moments like a fight in the pool of milk. Other than that the script takes itself very seriously and there's no humor. There is no interesting villain either.

The plot is silly and full of holes. The writers weren't even trying . The story is an excuse for action.

The acting is lame and there is no chemistry between the characters. Lundgren tries hard , but there are serious moments when he is truly bad.

The action feels uninspired. Woo is on autopilot here and If I didn't knew it was his movie , I could swear it was directed by some John Woo wannabe. The motorbike stunts are decent , but that's it. The movie was made by 10 mln of $. Where all this money go ? The whole movie feels made on very small scale.

Not one of Woo's or Lundgren's finest moments. I give it 1/10.

too clichéd

Joh Woo has used over and over the slow motion scenes in his action sequences and he always finds a special trick to regenerate his style.But this time,it is a little too much clichéd.Your libido will be absorbed by the blond fluffy bunnies swirling around Dolph Lundgren's muscles and the action scenes are totally unrealistic but this is where all the fun comes from.John Woo always tended to stylize his movies and this one is no exception to the rule.His obsessions for choreography of bullets and killed bodies, as well as friendship and honor, are strongly embedded in all his movies. Unfortunately this movie was made for TV and it demoted the result.
