alvram-64335 This movie is ridiculously bad. If at least it were funny or a spoof, then maybe I could say "at least, they tried," but no, not even that. You can feel your brain cells dying as you watch the most illogical characters, illogical actions, illogical dialogue, illogical script, coupled with the worst acting I've seen in a long while.

Michael Ledo James Henderson (Tom Hopper) works as a liaison or fixer, at an up scale Hotel in an Eastern European nation with huge mountains. He lets us know "Cynicism is a sign of intelligence and age." A coup erupts and overthrows the democracy. It operates out of the same hotel. Through a weird plot twist the injured president (Lacy Moore) is hiding out there with the plucky hotel manager Gabrielle Martin (Amy Huberman). She had no idea James is ex-CIA or something not really established, except that he has "kill ratio" an unlimited amount of people he is authorized to kill by....someone.Yes only Tom Hopper stands between Democracy and military dictatorship by defeating a small army in the corridors of a hotel. Amy Huberman had a good character and did well with her lines. There were a lot of positives to the film including dialogue and negatives including dialogue, especially the line, "Lower your weapons. They're civilians." Seriously? In Eastern Europe? The entire production is filmed inside of the hotel, except for that one scene where James steps out for a cigarette. The movie was somewhat entertaining, but uneven. Soft 3 stars.Guide: F-word. Attempted rape. Nudity (Michelle Lehane)

jacobusbezemer camera-work and sound OK. Character buildup - zero. Sound effects in fight scenes - exaggerated.big plus: gratuitous nudity.heavy on the stereotypes - rude Russian generals, Hero American cold-blooded CIA, emotional eastern European women.and why are these people speaking English 90% of the time but sometimes they do speak whatever the hell their language is supposed to be?

duvernetphotography James, James, Oh James! The blue list man, with no upper limit of his kill capacity! You've got your pseudo eastern European accents, Russian, but not too Russian, there is eye candy for both sexes, bulging biceps and skimpy outfits. General this and madam president that, a token effort to feminism. Democracy must win the day and the strong female leader will win the day, even if she barely survived a bomb.. Despite the hotel filled with high profile business people, the General and his team only kill one little blonde, poor thing. The good guy can dodge bullets without any gear, stare down the bad guys and shoot them. Almost like an old fashioned cowboys and Indians. There are many times in the movie where nothing is happening and the only way to keep interest is through a rushing sound track. If you turned off the sound, you'd be bored out of your mind. This is about as bad a movie as I've seen recently. Skim through it if you must waste your time.
