What a shame. This could have been quite good.Certainly, it came with a decent, action savvy cast and basic but serviceable premise.
Regrettably, the writing/scripting and directing just wasn't quite there. Poor narrative, characters that don't quite work, odd ball and often inexplicable plot turns and poorly timed, occasionally idiotic, action scenes.
All in all, a barely watchable action thriller, that could have been so much more.
