"I'm not in a position to delay your departure, but if you choose to fly I strongly recommend you double all your security efforts." Paul Ross (Couture) is a special agent who is great at his job but not his personal life. He has just broken up with his fiancé and his best friend just got killed. To make matters worse he has just boarded a plane that his ex is on and it has just been hijacked by people working for the crime lord he is looking for. I have to admit that I had really low expectations for this one. Most wrestler movies are not that impressive and after watching this one I guess same goes for MMA. This is a movie where the writers said he can put a UFC guy in this and have him beat people up, that will make people watch. The sad fact is that that it true. The fighting was good, but the movie overall was totally flat. No emotion, no intrigue and I actually found myself wanting to shut it off or fast forward it. My inner struggle actually helped because my talking to myself not only was more entertaining but made the time go by quicker. I was hoping for "Air Force One" meets "Passanger 57". I couldn't have been more wrong. On the plus side there is a scene of nudity halfway through...so there is that. Overall, a movie for really hardcore wrestling/mma movie fans. I had to struggle to get through it. I give it a C-.
