gazcoley-72611 I chose to watch this as I had fallen out of love a little with action films. However having not watched Wesley for sometime now I felt he controlled the film well, plot was easy to follow, which is always nice. The fact that I ended up wanting the bad guys to die says it all as i find it good when a film absorbs you in such a fashion.

jonny-riggs If anyone reads this just know i only got 30mins into this god awful movie before i fell asleep. no, i was not tired, it just bored me to tears is all! the ghostly camera work at the start is ugly. an opening sequence of city shots layered on top of each other? tony Scott did it better! slowing down and speeding up the film? tony Scott did it better! in fact this movie just steals from every other movie and has no originality. the creepy music is out of place and snipes looks bored and desperate for any acting job.in fact the whole cast is rubbish and cant act! why bother tell this story? its not worth telling..i have no idea why they bother

maxikompel I really did not liked this movie and what i am going to say first is that i do not recommend it. I am really bored of the tipic movies of action where the protagonists fight versus 6542548734 guys and they kill everybody, the only times where this is acceptable is when the main character is a good actor or a "comedian" action actor like (at my opinion) Jason Staham or Vin Diesel, etc. But I really do not like Wesley Snipes, he is famous only because of Blade but he is not a good actor, he definitely can not express anything, and i have some little things to highlight about the movie: Some of the ideas and some of the scenes are a little interesting but not much more. It is really boring, i saw it with a friend and we both said it is very bad, so either you are a big fan of Wesley Snipes i do not recommend it. i give it a 3/10. Greetings. maxi0305

Boloxxxi This movie is played out thru and as a sort of "confession" to a priest. So the story is not told in REAL time; but AFTER the fact; sitting in a church with a priest.CIA agent Marcus Jones is given the assignment of infiltrating the organization of arms dealer, Frank Smith, and thru him get to the president or head of a hedge fund operation based in Detroit; man named Redvale, who smith is working with. The CIA wants them both dead. It seems that Redvale Corp. has oil interests some place in Africa but the policies of the local government there is somehow cramping their style or interfering with the conduct of their business. This is where Frank Smith comes in: Revdale is financing Smith to arm rebels opposed to the government. Immediately after Marcus is given his assignment, the movie cuts to --and begins-- at a point where he has already infiltrated Frank Smith's operation and is now working for him as security or a personal bodyguard. They are in a plane together at this point on their way to the Revdale Corp. to see Revdale and collect Smith's share of money from some transaction or deal in Africa. The plane lands and they transfer to a black SUV with cool musical accompaniment (Don't you wish this would happen every time YOU stepped off a plane or headed for your car?). At the same time, Marcus's CIA team is getting ready to move in; orders are given by their head of operations flying in a chopper overhead, that no action should be take until Smith picks up his loot.The action begins when "others" I'm calling them (an important plot twist already spoiled for you by the IMDb synopsis) decide to interfere with the CIA operation so that they can get their greedy paws on all the loot that Smith is about to collect. At the same time, in the back seat of the SUV, Smith is starting to feel hot and bothered; complains about the heat; shortly thereafter he is having a major heart attack and has to be taken to a hospital. But the "others", unaware of this, are shooting at the car to get it to stop. They want Smith captured so that they can use him to get into Revdale Corp. and collect his money. A chase leads to a hospital where most of the action takes place as the "others" hunt Marcus and look to kidnap the badly ailing Smith.I was pleasantly surprised by this movie (low expectations, I guess). Turns out this is a good action film. Snipes played his character Marcus in a sober, detached sort of way; like a man who has no other life or friend but his job and whose longest conversations take place within. So he's serious; has no "attitude" and cracks no jokes. Not even a "forced" smile for the nurse who was looking after him and who was clearly flirting (Down fellas, not the nurse of your fantasies). For example, after some comment she made about always wanting to date a bodyguard, he looked at her as if he had no idea what she was going on about; as if human chit chat or conversion was something he was unfamiliar with. So this guy is busy; unless you have something to do with his mission or the job at hand, you exist to him only peripherally.The movie utilizes the "hunter-and-prey-in-a-confined-area" (a hospital) scenario. And though hardly original, it is a favorite of many people --if done well-- and I thought it was done well here. So it was entertaining to watch hunter and prey navigate the rooms and floors of the hospital; the former trying to kill or capture and the latter trying to survive and get away. I found the fight scenes effective; smart and satisfying; demonstrating that breaking someone's neck is not the snap you might have thought it was (sorry; couldn't resist). Finally, just to give you some perspective: This movie, while not having all the money, star-power, and fire-power of say, "The Expendables", is still hands-down the better made action film. Demonstrating once again that "less" is often "more" and "more" is often "less". Love, Boloxxxi.
