The 2nd

Momentum Pictures presents a Lucid Film production in association with Fury Film Franchise it looks like a movies from the 50s. Looks and sounds like a low budget film. This isn't an action film. Didn't do a good job at all in any of it. Scenes weren't thought out well. Bad angles bad lighting bad music bad acting bad story line. I was looking forward to this movie with Ryan he was great and the other two well know actors Casper Van Dien and Richard Bergi also great. I'm so sad this was so bad :((

After Shooter we've seen that Ryan Phillipe can act the role of a soldier. But it needs proper direction and cinematography.

The action sequences looks like someone is playing, and then a few muscle flashes has been edited in afterwards.

Acting is bad. Effects are bad. Score is bad. It's just a bad movie (which could have been great)

Technically there are just too many things wrong with this one unless you are completely mindless. From a security standpoint no-one properly trained in security during the intro would A: Permit a cell phone unless it was in a secure transmission blocking case or bag. B: A bodyguards job is to take the bullet instead of the client. That said if there were bulletproof vests, the client would wear one. C: While in transit blending in is important a vehicle that could outrun, and stand up to impacts is a priority. D: If the client is running for president they get secret service. E: No trained security would be chatting about their day and joking while on task. This is all in the first two minutes of the film. What a joke. Than there is a host of other tactical, and technical errors. What SF operator leaves enemies behind alive? Wow then there is six blocks of C4 going off, and leaving people 100 feet away alive which is virtually impossible. The acting has no emotions appropriate to the scene. The acting is wooden, the characters unbelievable, the direction is almost non existent. The script is a real dog of a script, better put out of its misery. Never mind about the sets, casting, etc., etc. Do yourself a favour, unless you are a fan boy, or girl, give this one a miss.

Experienced director Brian Skiba seemed like this was his first directing job. Long dragged out scenes, especially the fights and gun battles - to the point of ridiculousness. Were the fights choreographed by the WWE? The writing by the two newb writers was terrible. Too many cliched, sappy and cheesy lines. A 5th grader could've done better. So one of the bad girls just happens to have two swords in her bag? Ya, ok. Way too many dumb plot and technical issues. The 93 min runtime felt way too long with the unnecessary long dragged out and ridiculous scenes. Was this film even edited? The score was ok for a B-grade film, and the acting was decent for the most part, as was the cinematography. That's about it. A generous 4/10 from me.

The conversations, characters' actiins, action / fight scenes are lame, unbelievable, laughable. I was fast forwarding when watching became unbearable which is pretty often. If you don't know how to totally waste your time, that's a great choice.
