Michael Jai White and Quinton Jackson grew up together. Now White is a police hostage negotiator and Jackson is a bank robber with hostages. He gets White as his negotiator and makes some tough demands... and revenge on White.
It's a not particularly distinguished example of the 'negotiator' movie, intended as star turns for the leads, shot in a foreboding light, with overly dramatic music that clearly is intended to let the audience know that the stakes are high. Unfortunately, the constant level reduces everything to the same level, and there's little rhythm to the story telling. There are lots of closeups and tight, claustrophobic shots that make this dull in its unceasing panic.

I loved Michael Jai White in every movie hes been in and the guy was in great shape
His kung fu moves and his great acting made all his movies really good.
But you know when an actor is all washed up , is when they play in these awful movies , bad acting bad directing .I mean I honestly could have made a better movie with the same lousy actors.
Right from the beginning you know this is going to be a flop bank robber has a gun on Michael and instead of Michael taking the gun away from him , the bank robber looks away for no apparent reason and then Michael takes his gun out.Like really the movie is full of weird ideas and you just know that Michael must be hard up to play in this one.
Michael White has gotten fat and that might be one reason no one wants him . Just like Steven Seagal he goes from top notch movies to really bad movies.
I mean when you're all washed up just quit , why bother ? you just make yourselves look like fools.I guess when you're hard up you take whatever you can get, sad.
But a man's gotta eat right.
Did you know Steven Seagal and Michael Jai White played in the same awesome movie called Asian Connection. They have really fallen since then!
One of the worst boring Movies allover the time
very dull and boring with a very meaningless story or a purpose actually
its like you will ask yourself why they made this move ???!!!
no action , no suspense , no story , nothing
this movie really sucks
Don't even bother watching. Tom Berenger should be massively embarrassed that he was even in this farce, Michael Jai White makes Andy Dick seem like a Thespian.
Well, when I saw Jai White's name in this, I was almost immediately interested on seeing the movie... But, unfortunately, the movie is bad, very bad.
The dialog seems forced, the sound editing is poorly made, and the fighting choreography is dreadful. They seem so amateurish, so clumsy.
Too bad... The movie is very very boring
