As these direct-to-video films go, it's not terrible with some okay action and gun fights, an explosion which, while used CGI, didn't look half bad and a good performance from Michael Rooker. That said, and I say this with all due respect given his condition, another emotionless performance by Bruce Willis, a cash grab for John Malkovich who only has maybe 5-minutes of screen time, and bad line reading from Olga Kurylenko. The film also had the hallmarks of a bad production with terrible ADR (mostly with Willis's scenes) and camera in a reflection shot. I think this was perfectly watchable but also forgettable. **2.75/5**
