Why oh why Dolph?....even the trailer is atrocious....check out Dolph's fight scenes.....he's missing the other guy's head by 6 inches......wooden acting....bad script/editing.....the old story rehashed...tough guy loves family...baddies attack family...tough guy saves family....not too sure which is worse Puncture Wounds or this.. .sorry but it's another fail from me
Let's start with the whole Interpol thing!!! Interpol is one of the oldest, largest and most famous law enforcement agencies in the world. ... The only problem is most of what people think Interpol does is fiction. Its agents aren't allowed to make arrests, don't carry guns, and rarely leave the office.
That's just the start. It gets so much worse! The acting... WTF, when was it okay to not give a dam about a project you are working on!

It's not like the writers and directors are newbs to allow such plot-hole ridden convoluted and choppy screenplay go to production. Camera work was ok, but Giorgio Bruno failed to direct his cast. Then the lousy editing didn't help either. The score was also atrocious. Cinematography, production values and casting was decent. Good to see Natalie Burn and her usual hotness from her last film Acceleration where she looked like Criss Angel lol. Nevertheless, I've seen much worse B films, and Lundgren was good in this one and some decent action scenes. Acceleration was better imo, but I still saw this one to the end and never fell asleep, so it's a generous 5/10 from me.
Yikes, another dud for Dolph.
This plot has been done to death, by every wannabe action star and it still sucks. The plot is overdone, the dialogue is boring and the acting marginal.
He was a terrible actor in his prime and it seems that he hasn't improved - so really practice does not at all make perfect.
We watched this not expecting cinematography brilliance, but simple non-cerebral entertainment. But it was so bad. It looked as if Dolph either has severe body damage and constant pain, restricting his movement, or he just didn't give a damn about a modicum of realism. When sneaking up on the bad guys he makes no effort to achieve stealth; he just walks around! He doesn't hide but still doesn't get hit by lots of automated weapons fire then offloads a couple of pistol rounds and the bad guys fall around dying. There is no blood when bad guys are stabbed and bodies dragged away. It is just as if no one cared about any pretense of realism. We laughed most of the way through this movie. But, hey, I guess that counts as some form of entertainment.
