What is with this movie?


I stumbled across this movie by accident. Imdb has no release date, pictures, trailers, and i keep seeing bad reviews on the 1 page of board posts. How can it be that bad? look at the list of actors. your telling me that this many known actors (i dont see them going on some D list actors reality show anytime soon) actually pick up a script and said they would do a bad movie.

I never thought I'd say this again. I'M GETTING THE PIG!

It really is that bad, I should have known, Vinnie Jones is like a guarantee that the movie will be bad. I dont know how Bruce Willis ended up doing this peicw of *beep*

I would assume most of the 20 million went to Willis lol. Though I sort of liked the movie except the fire scene(very annoying and unrealistic) and the main actor which didn't act out the anger very well. The only good actors were of course Willis(for little screentime) and the villain. However it's a action flick, so I took it as such and rated it at 5.

50 Cent has a producer should have been the first warning sign, don't you think ?

Yes, Vinnie Jones is indeed a guarantee of a bad movie. How can this ex-football thug have become a Hollywood 'actor'? He plays the same part (badly) in every movie; all he can do is growl,swear and beat people up, which is what he was doing in real life only for less money. Please, enough of Vinny Jones--send him to the sin bin.

Man ..shut up w/ all that noise *geesh* Why didnt you add all the info YOURSELF instead of whining like a tantrum-throwing 12 yr making assumptions??! Oh that's right ..you probably didnt bother to read all the features that come w/ this wonderful site, right? Therefore, dont even know it's true purpose huh?

My uncle use to always say, "What gives an un-educated person away is they are too lazy to read and dont have the common sense to comprehend what they read". IMDb monitors the site but the site's info is added on by its members ..like in common folks and those affiliated w/ the film industry. If you dont like what you read or see ..cash out for full membership and you'll have input-access to everything!

"My Uncle use to always say"?? Unless your uncle was a famous person.. I don't think anyone here cares enough, to take that advice to heart..

Since you have so many "credentials" perhaps you could do something about all the plot summaries written as if by grade schoolers and with the irritating habit of describing the entire movie so that I have no need to actually watch it. Since I don't care to make an unpaid career out of movie plot summaries, your credentials indicate you may enjoy improving them, please do.

In the end scene the hero jeremy, pours a trail of gas from ONE tank, down a metal staircase and out the main doors on the ground floor of a concrete building and lights the whole concrete building on fire... But just prior to the fire being lit, all the thugs walk into the building and up to the top floor without smelling the gasoline.

Why wouldn't an actor on set , just say, hey wtf!!! .... But then again there is a huge laundry list of ridiculous flaws that make this movie shine like a polished turd

Oh well such is life...

The film is dumb.

I can only think that Bruce Willis appeared on this film because his dogs were held as hostages!

Its that man again!!

I enjoed this movie for what it was. If you're expecting some fantastic piece of film on a straight to video release, then that's your problem.

The first two-thirds of the movie do a good enough job, though the conclusion scene is just a bit too hackneyed. Aside from that, though, this is a solid 6 and it's nice to see some protagonists who aren't bumbling idiots the whole time.

For a Sunday afternoon action flick, it ain't bad.
