The cardinal sin is dullness.
Frank Capra wrote, "There are no rules to filmmaking. Only sins and the cardinal sin is dullness."
This film is dull. It started off with a bit of promise but quickly descended into cliché car chase after cliché gunfight. The characters are poorly written, the script is bad, the directing bad, the acting inconsistent and Canberra just doesn't really look like an American city. No matter how big the "Dual Control" sticker is on the right hand drive garbage truck. Sorry, but dull, dull, dull.
Why anyone would make and release a film this dull is beyond me. I really wish Liam Neeson would hold out and make a better quality of film.
