1/10
Just...don't

Warning: Spoilers
When I was little my dad used to take me to the pub and we used to see all these men drinking and smoking he said to me "son you are a young man and if in one thing you do in your life make sure you never even take a drag of a cigarette" so as I've grown up listening to him and his wisdom trying to grow up with morales...

Then I watched this film and it gave me cancer.

All joking aside I don't know what Botox Michael Jai White has pumped into his cheeks but he should go back for a refund, I used to love him in his films like blood and bone and falcon rising. But Jesus what was he thinking with this steaming pile of...

If it wasn't for the corny lines and unnecessarily rambling of lines i.e a paragraph on loyalty. *also I'd like to point out I've never been a fan of Steve Austin acting because his nickname roughly refers to his acting style* it was the re-use of the same room I roughly seen about 4 times during which I spotted numerous continuity errors. The extras were a bunch of what I would refer to as the people you see at job centres trying to get the money to feed there next fix.

It was painful and the only thing that kept me through it was that Micheal Jai White was in it, his acting would have been amazing if it wasn't for the terrible storyline, locations, writing and anything to do with this film. At one point of the film, Jesus if any of you think this is a spoiler re-prioritse your life, Micheal or Jimmy as he is referred to, which is the most unpopular name on this planet. Gets out of the car to head inside a building to which another character gets out by the passenger of the car Lifting the seat Forward. That's right folks nothing says action like pulling a seat forward for him to get out. The guy with the eyepatch was absolutely one of the worst things I've seen in a film industry it had no place in any sort of context and looked so out of place that if he just didn't turn up and Micheal talked to himself would have been a lot better.

Steve 'stone cold' Austin... Well I don't really know what to say he didn't do really anything just say really long lines about random things that were going on and intimidate people like a peacock trying to do a mating call, his wooden acting was more like stone cold...he-he pun intended guys...no... Okay I'll leave...*shuts door*

Can I just point the Actor Max Ryan played Lt.Ross, his accent varied so much I thought he had multiple personality disorder, at one point he dipped either to American/English then English/Australian then for some reason went into Scottish, the editors of this film must have been using the drugs smuggled into the city when they edited this, all the cameras were over lit, camera angles were contextual and not in the right areas, when the fight scene did occur, it was like the camera man fell asleep at the camera then fell over with the camera in his hand.

I can appreciate Micheal and Steve probably did take most of your budget guys and probably $60 could buy enough fake blood to fuel a small hot tub but clothing ripped and blood from a knife with no makeup of a wound does not constitute as a good scene if I was your producer I'd pull the needle out of the directors arm and ask him to take a hot shower and think about what he's done.

In summary, it was watchable but painful at the same time abit like listening to your mum and dad talk and dad talk about sex.

1/10 still love you Micheal...not you Austin...
