This could have been a really good film as the plot was based on a true story but unfortunately, it failed on account of the awful 50cent has-been mumbling through his lines as if he was drunk and the irritating Ortega with his horrible coarse and irritating voice. Acting was sub-standard, even Mel's acting (sorry Mel)... and casting the beautiful Kesia (Puerto Rican) as the sister of a white American just didn't stand true. The whole film seemed so empty and weak. Ignore the fake 10/10 reviews and me giving it a 3 is being kind. Maybe a 1 or 2. Anyways, if I were you, knowing what I know, I wouldn't waste my time with this!

Watching someone as notable as Mel Gibson be involved in such a mediocre film shows how the mighty have fallen. This movie has soap opera grade acting, local cable directing and camera angles, and low budget set/costume design. The premise of the film has a lot of potential but fell beyond flat.

I am a .50 cent fan, but the 10-20 min he's actually on screen is painful to say the least. You'll definitely need subtitles to understand a word he says, all his dialogue (most of the dialogue in the movie) and conversations come off as unnatural. You can tell that the actors/actresses memorized their lines in the parking lot the day of filming.

Save your money and Avoid this Tubi movie.

Yet another geezer teaser.

Gibson here looking like he walked on set after spending the morning drinking at the local dive bar. 50 Cent plays a police chief and mumbles through all his lines as fast as possible to collect a paycheck. Yet despite that they are the two best parts about this. Whenever they aren't on screen this drags and feels like an episode of CSI or some cop procedural that accidentally got made into a movie.

Guarantee this will be streaming for free on Tubi by the end of the year. You're better off watching this that way don't waste your money on this. Gibson and 50 Cent deserve better.

Van Holt is the main actor in this a detective looking for a serial killer. Mel Gibson is a profiler with the FBI he has about 15 minutes and 50 Cent is police chief also 15 minutes.

The whole thing seems like it was written to be a pilot for a TV show, the entire thing looks like one also, but instead it was made a movie, it happens a lot in the industry. As such some subplots are rushed, some things are unresolved etc.

It's nice to see Mel Gibson he is obviously the best acting talent in this, quite possibly ad libbing his lines because his character is the only interesting one.

It plays out more like one of those crime documentaries, we are just going through the motions.

The movie basically doesn't have what can be called an ending, it's like a first episode of a miniseries, which is probably the most disappointing thing about it. Some things do get resolved but they almost happen off screen and explain with a couple of lines of dialogue so the movie has some cohesion.

I wanted to like this - I really did. Despite some of his actions outside of film, I'm a long-time fan of Mel Gibson. And "50 Cent" has made an admirable turn into acting. Several of the other actors are familiar from other shows. Basically, it's got a good cast.

But this film is NOT good.

It's confusing at times (several times I had to ask my wife "what was that scene about?" - she had no answer); it drags on at times (I was pausing it to wonder how much longer it had); and generally wanders a path that leaves the viewer going, "Whatever."

To make matters worse, it had potential! Again - the cast is good. These are people who can act - and the acting is fine. But it's brought down by the writing, the plot, and the directing.

I won't post spoilers, but I'll just say that when it ended I felt...empty. Devoid of emotion. Kind of like, "THAT is how it ends?"

I give it a VERY GENEROUS 4 out of 10.
