    A EURO-TRASH version, of American STR8 2 video trash.

    I got this movie @ one of the HAJI stores here I IRAQ. They use the comments from IMDb to describe the video. So they used the comment "This film is by far the worst I have ever seen.", it was as good as sold. No yes this is a bad film, it's about 10 years too late. But its low-grade budget. the worst film are the ones high-budget good cast but just trivial drivel and bull-crap dialog.

    There's a scene in which the hero escapes from the bad guys. The bad guys look at his license plate and hunt him down. The problem is the license plate is obviously European. Hpowever a few scenes later the bad guys identify themselves as FBI agents (to the local American police department). Now this isn't the BOURNE identity so why are American Law Enforcement chasing this guy in a foreign country unless they're supposed to be in America. Yes it's a foreign production of Actors trying to do a cheesy American film. Here this guy is schlep, wife's cheating on him, bad at his job. the only joy he has in his life is this beautiful waitress at the local diner who obviously has a crush on him. He see's something at work he wasn't supposed to, and the hunt is on to kill him. (I.E. Pelican Brief, The FIRM, etc. etc.)No exotic locations or thrilling car chases but a movie just the same.

    To say the movie was telegraphing scenes is a disgrace to the fast moving telegraph. A far more accurate description was they were boxed, addressed then sat in the back of the mini-van for a month, before someone finally mailed them.

    Don't...just don't...

    Headline says it all really, and in the interest of saving people from wasting any more time on this movie than they absolutely have to, the headline should suffice really.

    There are plenty of things I'd rather spend my time doing rather than watching this again. Things like watching the grass grow, watching a slow motion recording of paint drying or why not watch a grape as it turns into a raisin.

    The main story isn't all bad, although it contains nothing new really. Acting was terrible pretty much through and through, even though some actors are worse than others. Dialogue is poor and often not at all convincing. All put together, there are many scenes in this movie that makes you unsure of whether to laugh or cry.

    This movie is different but good

    This flick tells the Story of a clerk by the name of William Archer, who works hard at his job as an accountant and gets very little in return. Although this movie is about this person, who has the most unusual day of his life, the most interesting characters are the two killers that are after him. Both of them are portrayed in a very unique and humane way. The usual movie killer is portrayed as very cold and perfectionist but not these two guys, but they are also no idiots. It find it very difficult to describe them without spoiling the story for you. I can only recommend that you watch this flick and make your own opinion.

    average B movie predictable lame story line

    low budget bad story line couldn't wait for it to finish really! will archer {boone out of lost} is the only one with any acting skills, am surprised he did the movie. How could these professional Actors, Producers, and even the Janitor not see how precitable and bad this movie was before releasing it? I assure you that if I had the money to re-make this movie I could improve it 110 per cent, and I have never made a movie, or even acted in a play but could probably do better!!o I wish I could line everyone up who had anything to do with this movie, and slap them for insulting my intelligence avoid if you can!

    Pretty Lame Job

    Movie is predictable, boring, and the acting is horrible, only thing I would like to add is I really liked Ruta Gedmintas, never heard of her before but shes hott sh*t and there doesn't seem to be a lot of coverage on her on the web, I definitely hope I see her again somewhere though.....

    This film is by far the worst i have ever seen!! It could very well be the worst movie in human history!! I thought it would be a thrilling story but it kind of looks like a high school project done by students aiming very low.. The acting is so bad that i wanted to cry a some points and the whole story line is so predictable and badly done. Im sorry but no one in their right mind could like this film.
