It´s packed with bore, not action. Way too long for what it´s supposed to be and poorly edited with terrible sense of pacing. Clearly wants to be something it´s not. I lost count of how many times Grillo made the stop military hand signal...And what´s with those boots and haircut that he wears in every movie ?Amateurish at best but great for Grillo to show of his clearly "pumped muscled hrt´d body after workout" in the beggining of it. A distraction for his mediocre acting habilities. Good for him that he has been kissing other´s (more famous people) as#es for so long on Instagram like Sly Stallone´s. It paid with a role in the second season of Tulsa King. It pays to be a brown nose sometimes.

What was the point of this movie? It's something that's been done hundreds of times and all much better. The directing and editing were terrible, and it took two writers to come up with every predictable cliche and a lackluster story that made the dragged poorly paced two hour runtime feel much longer. Most of the action scenes were poorly filmed and choreographed.

The casting was great, although some actors needed better cast direction, and Frank Grillo as usual carried this movie. He's an underrated actor who deserves bigger and better roles. And although casting Andy Garcia may be a draw to see this movie, his max 5 min screen time didn't add any value to the movie, and it felt like he just called his lines in. It's a generous 4/10 all going to Grillo and the decent cinematography and location sets.

Another day and another straight to streaming action film starring Frank Grillo.

He plays, Gunner a jaded special forces soldier. He assembles a team to go to Venezuela to rescue his niece Julia, a crusading journalist. The neice also happens to be the daughter of a US Senator played by Oscar winner Melissa Leo.

Julia is held captive by local warlord called Roman (Andy Garcia) who wants his hands on some footage that she captured. He has an enforcer called Moreao (Mekhi Phifer) who has his own beef with Gunner.

The movie has some political statements regarding Venezuela and its issues with oil and corruption.

Apart from the it is very much a seen it all generic action thriller. Although this one has a better cast.

Unfortunately it takes too long to get going and it needed to be 20 minutes shorter.

You also have to wonder why such a movie wants to have hissable baddies who threaten babies with a gun.
