    Generic snooze fest

    It's like nobody even cared about this movie. They have top named actors playing second fiddle to nobodies who can't act to save their lives and they were so lazy on the cover of the movie they litterally just cut the image of MJW's movie Falcon Rising and copy pasted it to this one.

    Totally rubbish

    Unfortunately unable to give zero stars. To think someone got paid to make it is amazing. You'd be better off watching it with the TV switched off.

    too generic...

    As a previous reviewer commented base story ok,but overall acting is something you dont find in this "movie". Especially Mickey Rourke is so displaced,he looks really like someone who don care that he should act. Very disappointing. MJ White and Wife are not that bad,but still cant get my head around why they took M. Rourke.....

    Pathetic

    Terrible acting for a start, unnecessary graphic shots of women obviously directed by a pervert, all the characters have no substance. Every scene with Mickey Rourke I found myself looking at his dreadful face surgery and not even paying attention to what was going on as it is that distracting. He plays a sex trafficking head honcho yet he can't afford a flat screen tv ???? The main character is displayed as a level headed woman yet she has a samurai sword on display in her house on a stand ??? It's a stupid film with stupid characters. A 15 rating just shows that the censors are not doing their job.

    Elephant Man

    In seeing Mickey Rourke here in this movie, I realized that he could very easily star in a reenactment of the "Elephant Man." The production would be a lot less expensive due to the fact that Mickey would not need any special make up effects.
