Best movie ever!

An Exercise In Nonsense

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This movie is a waste. A waste of time, a waste of money and a waste of the actors involved.Chazz Palminteri has delivered a few really good performances in his career, a few excellent ones and Til Schweiger while not the greatest actor can usually do a well enough job.Not in this movie, with this script, with this dialogue.One more thing, one of the other reviewers has called this a typical Euro-Movie and that is complete nonsense.If any, it is an untypical Euro movie as it has no aspirations at all.Anyone who has any knowledge about European cinema would laugh at a classification like that.

Not going to waste more time on this, just to say it is genuinely one of the worst films I've seen.18 minutes in we get the dramatic uttering 'This matter needs to be dealt with swiftly, and with the utmost urgency'. That kind of sets the scene for the quality of dialog to come. And the acting is worse.If you read this review before seeing the movie, save yourself. I'm afraid to say I watched most of it, but only in that 'watching a slow motion train wreck' kind of way. It was genuinely bad. So bad you cant look away.And now the review helper says my review is too short. How much more of my life must I waste on this horror?

I have yet to read a single positive review for this film anywhere, most people say it's clichéd, predictable, and stupid with a done-to-death plot, and it kinda is, but that dosen't mean it's not a hell of a lot of fun. Palinteri does a pretty good job, though he's played this type of role so many times he could do it in his sleep, and Schweiger's not much of an actor, so it's fortunate that he dosen't try and stretch himself too much here, the rest of the cast is pretty average. When it comes to action however, this film really delivers, Gerry Lively certainly lives it up to his last name, as the actions scenes are indeed lively and entertaining and they easily make up for the weak story and mostly average performances, all in all i'd say it's a 6 out of 10.

Wow. This is one of those movies that you knew what was going to happen and when even before you started to watch the movie. This movie was one long string of stereotypes that made it very predictableFoes working together even though they hate each other ... check Dying bad guy wants to redeem himself before he dies ... check Good guy has a traitorous superior ... check Dying bad guy wants to make up with wife and/or children ... check Femme fatale ... check comic sidekick ... check Bad guy redeems himself by sacrificing himself for good guy ... check All government agents are incompetent until end ... check all henchmen can not shoot straight ... check1 star for good backgrounds, 1 star for the hit-man's daughter
