    "Bad" doesn't even describe it..

    ..and I'm talking about the Film technical side! how is it even possible that an elevator show up in a movie (which has some awful editorial work!) which has nothing to do with the scene or even the situation within the scene?! i just don't get it. i really am upset!

    the technical side of this movie is pure horrible. I'm glad i don't own it. but i thought the world should know this: the acting is one thing, but if the editing is bad - and i mean really 'bad' - how worse can it be?

    watch it yourself with an eye on the little details.. sometimes it seems the actors weren't told what to do.

    I rated it 2 out of 10 because the acting overall didn't blow as much as the technical incompetence that leads through this movie.

    definitely a B class movie

    In one word for this film it is 'classless". Poor acting all the way throughout, mediocre action sequences, and to much of an original plot.

    If you find yourself extremely bored and with absolutely nothing to do then watch this.

    Too many wrestlers who want to be actors nowadays and this film does nothing for the acting of Rob Van Dam or Dave Bautista.

    Less than thrilling in it's sequence of movement. The only thing I found interesting in this film was the cars and bikes.

    I have come to the conclusion with the Rock being the exception to the rule is that wrestlers need not go into acting.

    bad, but entertaining

    This movie appeals mainly to macho meat head types, but is actually quite funny and entertaining in a B-movie way. If you're a B-move fan like me, you'll probably like it. Otherwise you probably won't. The dialog reminded me of an 80's or early 90's cheesy action movie. It felt like watching something along the lines of kick boxer 2. It's too bad Ja Rule wasn't in the movie longer, because he's actually a pretty talented actor. The fight scenes could have been better, but some of the stunts and the showdown on the bridge were pretty good. They throw some random jokes in here and there which are actually pretty funny and remind the viewer not to take the movie all that seriously. RVD's acting wasn't that great, but it was tolerable. Batista's acting was convincing, and i liked RVD's foxy daughter. overall, the movie is predictable and simple, but entertaining in it's own special way - plenty of cursing, fighting, cheesy action, girls, and boobs. Watch it with a group of friends, some munchies, and a case of beer.

    Absolute crap, but good for laughs

    All I have to say about this film is that it's so bad it's good. Dave Bautista was fortunate enough to go on to WAAAAAY BETTER FILMS. Ja Rule and Omarion, on the other hand, have no excuse. Do not rush to see this nonsense; only if there is NOTHING ELSE TO WATCH.

    A Great Comedy!

    First off, I'm extremely embarrassed to say I actually took the time to watch this movie. That being said, I'm still sad that this hour and a half of my life was toilet bowled, but I did get to laugh out loud quite a few times. Unfortunately those were supposed to be very serious moments.

    Where to begin with this debacle I do not know. As I was watching this absolutely ridiculous and cliché drenched mess I kept saying to myself "surely a teenager made this movie!" There's no other possible answer for this horrific story, acting, everything, you name it!

    If I am able to save at least one poor soul out there the agony I've endured then I feel I've done my job here trying to help out mankind at least a bit. So please, please for the love of God stay as far as humanly possible away from not only this wrong side of town, but the same city, state and continent if at all possible. It doesn't matter if it's free on cable, pirated, you're drunk, stoned, or all of the above, it's not worth it!!!

    If you absolutely must, then make sure someone pays you handsomely first.

    Bottom line, if you're in the mood for a decent action flick, see anything else, even if you've already seen it 100 times!
