The film opens with 1980s font and a bad soundtrack. It doesn't get much better. John Doe (Byron Mann) is a Special Ops agent with a chip planted in his head. They can use a computer and place suggestions in his head. It is the brainchild of Dr. Cain (Robert Patrick) who is career is quickly sliding. John Doe goes rogue and shoots up the place killing a bunch of heavily armed folks. He drives to a hotel where he meets Jane (Helena Mattsson- "Species 4" beauty) and tells her a story. It is about everything that has happened to him and about the project. None of which she believes. But he offers her his Lamborghini to listen so she does.
The film had potential, but unfortunately a small budget. The acting and dialogue were not great and the plot was one of those that you knew was going to get better as you watch it with teasers, but it never happens.
Guide: No swearing. Brief sex. No nudity.

Worth watching. Once
A fairly good story hampered by a lack of Budget.
More cash would have gotten this movie a better tech advisor, stunt and or fight coordinator, armorer, military advisor, special effects and another editing pass or three. Did they rent a steady-cam and run out of funds? Various shots look like they did. If not I think it was a poor decision.
I DID like how they played the story out through various flashbacks over drinks. Nice choice there.
The acting by most of the main cast is solid but the secondary cast not so much.
As is it's worth watching once for what could have been a pretty great movie.
Could have been good, but not on this budget
I'll go ahead and blame the budget on this one.. and also some uneven direction. Ultimately, this movie has the ingredients to be something fun and interesting, but it would rely on better choreography and filming style, a more engaging script, a serious round of editing, and set pieces that are a grade above the cafeteria across from the movie set. The acting is pretty decent (at least for the mains) when they are bantering through kill machine discovery.
Unfortunately, it feels like a 3-hour movie, but it is watchable for some mild entertainment in parts if nothing better presents itself. Lower your expectations though.
