Overrated and overhyped

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Luke Goss turns in his typically gritty, tough-guy performance. Why this guy is mired in B-rate,straight to video films escapes me. He is, essentially, a bald Clint Eastwood or Steve McQueen.Nestor Carbonell also performs quite well in this, and Caroline Castro is exquisite.With most action-drama films, this movie takes a while to get there. But once it does, boy... it really goes there.I don't understand all of the negative ratings. As I write this, it has a 3.9 rating in IMDb. It is much better than that. I give this film a 7/10 only because as a low budget flick, there are some plot holes. But those don't distract from this compelling, if unbelievable story line (and let's be honest--how many flicks in this genre feature the possible rather than the improbable?).If you're expecting Academy Award stuff, skip this. If you're down for a gritty, thrilling revenge story that's well-acted, settle in and enjoy.

for me, this movie was a "close but no cigar". not a blockbuster but a reasonable tale.my spoiler alert though is the ending. after building up to a number of possible endings, it just kinda fizzed, which was a shame.the movie really had potential in my mind it's definitely not a blockbuster, i think a "worth watching", but the end left me disappointed.i thought the acting and the direction was quite OK. it wasn't Spielberg, but it was OK.i guess if you're after a "feel good" ending, then this isn't the movie for you.

One of the worst movies I have viewed this year. An unbelievable script and poor acting means wasted money. Don't waste yours money on this one because it is not worth it. Lack of continuity and things that just "happen" without any follow up. It is very hard to follow this movie and get any sense out of it.I rate this absolutely awful!! Don't waste your money. It is not worth the money or the effort. Terrible TerribleThe plot changes so frequently that it is not possible to come up with it. There is no real plot and people pop in and out.

Luke Goss is a good almost Jason Statham most of the time. This time it is almost Statham in one of his lesser roles. Suspend all reality if you wish to enjoy this one. It has the action, and the tense musical score, but it falls on it's face every time it tries to be a complete story. This almost unreal CIA "partner" could be left out of the story altogether if he wasn't needed to stop things from being too easy for Goss' character. oh well. it's new, and it's there so what are you gonna do? The shame of it is the effort that you can see went into making this, and it really would have been more Enjoyable with more work on the story, the people in front of, and behind the camera seemed to be trying hard to make it work anyhow. I do not really recommend this movie, I just think it should be a maybe for someone who just likes action, and cares nothing for plot.
