Mmm alright!

kh08 from brissle, 15th October, 2007

Not a bad film but not an amazing one either. strong cast of Paul walker and Larry Fisburne and the baddy from clear and present danger. Action wise it is okay a bit hammy in places but not the worst film I've seen in a while. Worth having on your list as a backup.

Entertaining

BotG from , 21st October, 2008

Didn't expect too much from this film and only rented it due to the girlfriend beeing a fan of Mr. Walker. But was pleasently surprised and entertained throughout. The action scenes make up for the average acting and as a whole a enjoyable film that just manages to overlook the awful ending that feels rushed and pathetic. Much better than most movies i've never heard of.

After reviewing the film the play stands as?

LiquidSoul from from London, 19th November, 2007

Excellent for the fusion of Comedy, action and story line including the cast. I loved it all the way. Shame it didn't make the Silver screen, but worth well worth watching. The Beach Bum at the beginning and end sounded almost like John Forsyth of Dynasty and Charlies Angels fame. This film demonstrates that Laurence Fishburne and Paul Walker are capable of doing comedy films.

Reasonable...

An OK film but instantly forgettable. Disappointing in some senses.

TheCakeLady from , 30th April, 2009

Enjoyable thriller, good casting, Paul Walker put in his usual strong performance (plus he is good to look at). Nice plot twist at the end.
