Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Purely Joyful Movie!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I knew something was wrong when the highly professional "cleaner" - i.e. hitman - pretended to be looking for a lost dog - he even carried a dog lead - as a way of overhearing a conversation between people near a boat that told him where his target was, and as he walked away from the boat he threw the dog-lead away. That immediately told the people he wasn't actually looking for a lost dog. Stupid plot hole.And then minutes later some bad guy pulls a gun on a guy so I'm thinking "OK, shoot him now" - which is what any bad guy would actually do. But no, he walks right up to the good guy, and presses the end of the gun to his forehead. Obvious what would happen next. Stupid plot.

A lot of good actors end up carrying films like this. Sometimes they hit on a good one, with a good budget. I think it's just a matter of the popularity of the actor. Tony Jaa in the protector for example. His martial arts and acting was a lot better than in Furious 7. Heat with Robert De Niro was all star and therefor a hit. The expendables however..an exception. Too many actors competing.Jason Statham is very popular but Crank(either one) was lousy. Luke Goss, although a good actor, seems to get canceled out when playing next to a better known tough guy even if it's a lousy movie. Popularity or just not being well known enough. What would happen if you threw in say Jason Statham instead of RAZ? Might be even, might not. Would be better though, but try getting a hold of Jason and your budget go'es up 50%. Altogether i give i give this one a 7 only because i watch movies depending on the actor who's in it. By the way, i've never even heard of RAZ until this movie.

Writers put many irrelevant things things in this movie to make it a torture. Unnecessary action. What was Conrad Miller doing in those motels and even if he had entered a wrong motel, why writers engaged him in freeing the slave girls & killing the human - traffickers plus arresting a cop too?. What was connection of these events with containing secret government information by Conrad Miller which he was alleged to have sold to Russians or other buyers? What was the need to involve an AWOL officer into Municipal Law things (Police / slave girls / human smugglers)? If Laura Wilder was a Russian agent and Conrad Miller, an American Agent and they were a married couple and both a spy of enemy countries? Then what a pathetic outcome of the movie was? Writer mixed many things up and viewer is far from getting near to it what was going in the movie.I saw many Action movies, spy movies, army officers movies but this was the most terrible and unpleasant experience for me. Torture for a viewer. Waste of time & money. Pathetic plot, characters and events poorly connected with each other, result-less events in the movie & real thing- fate of an AWOL left almost unattended?You really don't believe that movie has ended when it ends on screen. Pathtic & absurd.

This movie is so garbage it's not worth a real review, don't waste your time. I saw RZA and my heart dropped. Saw the movie and was exactly what I expected, despite hoping for the best. To RZA- stay with the beats, or movies that take place solely in the Bronx, since he can't even lose his SUPER ghetto accent when being paid. This was ALMOST as bad as a blind martial arts master with a Bronx accent from feudal Japan. STOP MAKING MOVIES RZA! I can't even think of a single good thing to say about the movie, even though I need to fill 10 lines of text to post this freaking review. I can see why one hadn't been made yet, I feel as though it would have been better spent doing anything, up to and including inpatient surgery.
