It's awful. There's really not much else I can say about it. The action is lame and repetitive, none of the characters have any depth to them beyond standard action movie archetypes, and the script offers nothing substantial or anything new to this overly done routine. The only thing I can say that I liked about it, or at least was the most impressed with, is an action scene about halfway through the film involving gunfights, chases, stealth, and hand-to-hand combat all in one seemingly single take, for at least fifteen minutes. Other than that technical achievement, there is literally nothing else to say about this movie, other than I do not recommend it. If you want to watch a great film about rescuing kidnapped people from a foreign land, watch Proof of Life with Russell Crowe. At least that one has a competent director instead of a stunt coordinator in way over his head.
Ladies & gentlemen, I am TheNorm, thank you all for reading.
