What drew me to the film was seeing well known actor Mekhi Phifer in a scene with the venerated Andy Garcia. It's safe to say that both their screen times were very inadequate as their character development was shown poorly. Frank Grillo as the main protagonist was decent in his role and undoubtedly took the reigns the entire way. The dialogue was slowly dragging in most scenes and the action took too long to develop even though it was okay, very poor directing on both regards. I'm quite glad I didn't buy it, I strongly suggest that the viewer rent it instead, they'll be the better for it. This could've been way better than what it is. I'm only giving it 3 stars because of three things; Frank Grillo, the excellent shots that were taken throughout the film, and the action.

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.
