    Unreal

    when i read other comment,i decided to watch this movie...

    First, cast specially Michael Madsen and Tamer Karadagli; good enough...

    Film,very intelligence and interesting because ,cast have a lot of international specially European actor and actress like from Turkey and Russsia...

    Second,Story is basic and you can guess but if you interesting action good play you'll like in my opinion...

    Third,Final chapter is not special or interesting,it's regular like other action movies...

    Reading this description made me realize I would have to be an idiot to waste my time watching this movie.

    Why all the hate?

    People are hating on this movie because of international actors? Grow the hell up! The world doesn't hinge on Murica. You people shove out endless garbage. This film is good, its one of those movies that takes part in 3 locations and relies on actors. No-one here is a hero, there's no-one to root for and that's refreshing.

    Very indie and low budget but when the world is swallowed by CGI crapfests and remake after remake you start to crave something more grounded and this movie is real, earthy and truthful.

    The rape scene is harsh, yes but shall we pretend this kind of stuff doesn't happen because America makes all movies pg13 now? People are becoming so infantile, yes it's hard to watch but does that make it bad? No.

    International movie fans and movie fans who can get past accents will enjoy this if in the mood for a little heist type flick and again...the hate is insane for something this enjoyable.

    Just shoot it back to oblivion

    I have to congratulate the genius who approved this one. Edward Furlong, you're not as good as you think mate, you can't grab on every piece of low-cost amateur crap, which sole intention has to be to get some bucks.

    The filming is bad, and I mean BAD. Anyone with a camera would get the same result, or better.

    The acting, lets just say: don't go to the supermarket looking for actors. The good ones usually come with a degree or, at least, have some damn experience! The director.. Mr. Jon Keeyes, please find your purpose in life, as a director you simply suck. Your directing is poor, the angles are all messed up (not in a good way), the lines seem as if they're being read out of toilet paper, and the damn music.. it always comes up when it shouldn't and goes out for no apparent reason. And don't go for writer either, by the way. Making movies isn't like serving on a coffeshop, it requires art and skill, things I really doubt you'll ever have.

    Instead of making a badass shootout movie, you should've shot this one back to oblivion and wait 'till something good came up.. Or just go find a job on a coffeshop. You'll have less stress and you'll save movie goers some money and a bad night.

    ubi pus, ibi evacua

    Sometimes a movie is so comprehensively awful it has a destructive effect on your morale. You begin to really ask yourself, what does it mean for our society that the standard is so terribly low? Can they honestly expect that we'll endure this many clichés and still be entertained?

    Of course, it is still a Hollywood mainstay to make the GUN the major character, plot device, and the source of all conflict and resolution in films. Character needs a gun. Gets a gun. Can't do that because he has a gun. Puts his gun down first. OH MY GOD What are we going to do!? He has a gun! He waves it around, acting more malicious than real human beings ever do. He pushes it in someone's face for 90 minutes, shouting questions. The hallmark of any conclusion will be the comforting sound of police sirens.

    It's a real challenge to make such a tired, hackneyed formula work again; a film has to be very clever and well executed. This one is neither. It has no life and no personality, and it will suck these components from YOU. it will make you feel WORSE about living in the time and space that you do. Really, who needs that!? So yes, I'll say it: I think this may well be the worst film I have ever seen. Anyone who was involved in the making of this sub- mediocre soul killing trash should be publicly embarrassed for the disservice they've done to us all.

    Not as bad as you think

    I saw this DVD in my friends house and thought that this was a Turkish action movie with some Hollywood-not very big-names in it. Interested enough I decide to give it a shot later.. It was a tough to bear experience believe me. Then, after finally seeing the credits roll I tought 'We Turks really suck at Hollywood style film making.. This is an insult to the heist|hostage movie genre..' but then wait! I checked some names and no, they were not Turkish names and no, this was not a Turkish movie; on the contrary it was literally shot in America with an American director & crew! That made me thinking-again!- How on earth can you persuade names like Micheal Madsen, Edward Furlong or even Arnold Vosloo to take part in such a project? with money probably.. That kept me thinking further.. How can you raise such amount of money to offer them and a supposedly international cast? Then all my meditation paid off and I came to find the answer.By hiring the cheapest equipment and crew that you can find. And if you still have to difficulty in adjustin your budget then: by writing and directing the movie you are trying to produce-or vice versa I don't have any information on that-. So bottom line this is not a bad movie as everybody are so anxious to present as.. It makes you think -in my case even meditate- and there are a lot of movies outthere that doesn't give even that affect.. This one at least makes you think; It makes you wonder.. It leaves you with disbelief.. and then It makes you wonder again..

    • Trivia
      The scene where Trent Haaga's character rapes Deniz Akkaya's character created a stir in Turkey, where Akkaya is a famous model. Interviewed by medias, Akkaya admitted that she had a hard time in the rape scenes: "This is not a scene you can try and work with. You have a hard time getting into that psychology. I would think if the same offer came in Turkey, but I would never accept it." The scene is very graphic and disturbing. "I saw the actors there for the first time. It was very difficult for me, but it ended in one shot. We didn't have to shoot it over and over," added Akkaya.
