A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Lately, action/thriller movies are full of these strong women who are totally unreal. When this trend started, it was new, thus interesting and, when pushed to extreme, this can be interesting any time (e.g. Kill Bill). But, in general, it's getting old.Here's a movie that gives a believable strong woman. Only once, towards the end, when the authors ran out of ideas, does she show unbelievable strength in a fight with a big guy. Also, she doesn't go towards the cliché of femme-fatale, using her looks to get what she wants.I don't really care if the main character is a man or a woman, but, in current state of affairs, this is refreshing.Other than that, the film is OK. Alice Eve shows she can act and not just look pretty, and the main villain (more of an anti-hero) does his job adequately. Others are not as good, but, not really bad.The story and it plots and twists are a little too much, but OK. It's actually fine until the last part, where, as mentioned above, authors run out of ideas. The last part spoils it a little, but, it's still OK.There is a sense that it could have been at least a little better

I loved it! The reviews on here (many tell you the whole movie). But I loved this flick. You are drawn to the characters and kept wondering what will happen next. If you like a good story based on real life drama mixed with a wild-card such as the Russian showing up in a single mothers life, you will love this movie like I did. This is an adult movie as the youth seem to like the loud, ultra violent stuff that is more unreal and sick but this film provides everything in a pace that feels so right for such wrong events. There is enough suspense and mystery to keep you drawn into the story and asking who will benefit from these events.

You have to struggle to find a less thrilling thriller than this. I don't know if they were trying to go for originality when they decided to make the thrilling scenes as unthrilling as possible.None of the actors are bad per se, they just don't act out very much, for instance a woman is being held under gunpoint threatened by a ruthless Russian assassin and she doesn't seem to be scared of that situation one bit, actually seem rather bored and just want to get it done and over with.Bryan Cranston is not bad per se either but he's just plain boring, his character is dull and the fact that he's blind which could be interesting really turns out not to be.Scenes drag on forever and I struggle to find reasons to why I should care about the bozos in the movie.I read reviews on here saying that it's unconventional because it's realistic, oh really? So if someone threatens to murder you and your daughter you wouldn't be trembling your bones every second? I question your perception of reality if that is the case (no offence)

As with most DTV films(Direct to Video) the budgets are small, and the stories are usually thin. No difference here, except the acting is very good as Bryan Cranston leads this low budget film.The story goes Chloe(played by the amazing Alice Eve) lives at a run down motel with her daughter. She runs the place and is trying to save enough money to get her out of there, and to someplace more acceptable. Early on in the film child services threatening to take her child away within two weeks in she does not move out of the motel complex. Topo played by the amazing Bryan Cranston is a near blind older man who is carrying out a job where he has to delivery a package of money. Helping him along the way is his sister's kid Quincy played by Robin Taylor, and tired after a long day on they road they decide to stop at a nearby motel for a few hours, which of course is the same motel run by Chole. Quincy decides he wants to spend the night with a prostitute and things quickly head south. Said prostitute ends up killing him, and the police quickly arrive on scene. Which presents a problem for Topo as the police take away the car they were driving in, and thus the package that was to be delivered.Later in that day when Topo goes to check out of the motel he takes Chole hostage so he can get his money back. Chole is friends with local police officer Billy played by Logan Marshall-Green. Topo makes her pick and pick at Billy until he can get any information on his package. Eventually the story ends up at the police impound lot where Chole is sent in by Topo to retrieve the package that was suppose to be behind the radio. It was of course gone and so continues the wild chase of events for the remainder of the film.Its not perfect or great, but if you are into low budget direct to video films as I am, it won't be a waste of time. Bryan Cranston and Alice Eve bring in top notch acting along the way as well. Overall if you can get your hands on this film it is worth a watch, no doubt about it.
