    It's a pumped-up, intricate and fast-moving yarn that never flags and continues to play out in unexpected ways as it unravels.

    There also are hints of Doug Liman and Tony Scott to be found in this hopped-up, bullet-riddled crime thriller, but while certain sequences pack an admitted visceral kick, the prevailing effect is one of utter overkill.

    The whole movie is some kind of joke, a sick one to be savored by a certain segment of the movie audience. You know who you are.

    I had been wanting to see this movie for quite some time but never got around to it. Now that I have I can say with assurance that it is appallingly bad. Some scenes (maybe 3 or 4) are shot with style and substance. The rest of the movie is a frenetic mess of cursing and ridiculous subplots. I do not recommend this movie to anyone. Even if you're mildly interested in seeing it, pass. There are many other better films. This was a terrible movie.… Expand
