NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
enigmatikmike Put simply, this is the most mediocre film I've had the opportunity to watch on DVD. The acting is mediocre, the special effects mediocre, the setting mediocre. For a change the storyline is not mediocre: it's worse than that.I'm quite sure that I would have done a better job myself with half the budget allocated to the film. The constant referring to flashbacks is good at the start but becomes annoying as the film drags along. Drags, because the story is so damn predictable that you're just waiting for it to end. There are a couple of humorous points ("Fuck yourself." "I can do that, too") but these only highlight how drab and uninspiring the rest of the script is. Dialogue is zero, acting on the same level. You neither care nor want to care about the main actor. Let this be over with, please.Special effects (usually a comeback for films like this) are hopeless too. Take the SWAT attack on the homeless community for example. How many of you have seen other film where SWAT members spend an inordinate amount of time posing with their guns but then fire blindly from the hip? The whole scene is directed so atrociously you never know hoe many people are actually there and where they really are. You realize the fight has ended when the truck blows up because... that's the way it is usually done. And I really really stood up laughing when the director shows us the main actor removing the tracking device from the pistol: a normal capacitor of the kind you can buy from every electronics shop.I will not pass comments on the ending of the film, because it's sheer, unadulterated senselessness (and mediocrity) left me breathless. I hope it was a twisted joke I failed to comprehend, and not an attempt at serious film-making.
actionmoviestar I thought this was going to be an all action, shoot em up, kickin' arse type movie. This was totally the opposite. The movie kind of moves slow and lags behind at times. I expected a lot better from Mark Dacascos because I totally enjoyed the movie "Drive." I felt like it was beautifully well done and the action scenes were astounding. I don't get why this movie would be listed under "Action" because it hardly had any action in it. It was more of a "lite thriller" type movie. I felt like this film could've been much better. This movie is only for people who enjoy movies like this. If possible, I would highly recommend that you skip this Mark Dacascos entry, unless you're a big fan of him.
RemoR380 I turned to this movie late at night mainly to see Mark Dacascos who is nice to look at, and not a bad actor either! I tend to fall asleep if a movie doesn't keep me interested. Well, I felt that, for a cable action movie (on Action Max) it was entertaining and had an actual plot that made sense. In a series of flashbacks, we see the events that shaped Dacascos's character. It's got plenty of guns, a few explosions, a government conspiracy, bad guys, good guys, a possible good gal, and an ironic ending that is both unexpected and appropriate. This is a flick that both guys and gals can watch - lots of action but not any gore. I wish Dacascos luck in catching a mainstream movie and riding it to the big screen. He deserves it!
Phroggy An assassin turned priest has to get his bearings - and his guns - when killers are after him… an honest thriller, well filmed, but which never goes beyond its primary goal as video-club fodder, though it was obviously made for the big screen. Dacascos is good though.
