This is one of Wesley's worst movies in my opinion, that's actually rather dull, with not much action, and an ordinary story. All the characters are so,so and the performance are not that good either,however Wesley Snipes is simply amazing in this! he is the reason that kept this bearable. Granted this isn't one of Wesley's greatest performances but he was amazing enough to at least keep it bearable, and I thought this was cheaply made and pretty poorly written as well, plus Jacqueline Obradors surprised me by giving an intense performance and created a little spark in the film,although it wasn't enough. Having said that there isn't anything else positive I can say about this film as it's just too below average, and why Wesley accepted this horrid script is beyond me, plus there are no good fight scenes to be found other then a short one at a diner. the plot I read on the back made it sound intriguing, as I was thinking hey this might not be so bad, boy was I wrong, plus the ending sucked. This is one of Wesley's worst movies in my opinion, that's actually rather dull, with not much action, and an ordinary story, and I say pass. The Direction is simply average. David Carson does an average job here with boring camera work, OK angles and keeping the film at a bland pace for the most part. The Acting is OK. Wesley Snipes is amazing as always and is amazing here (well for this type of film anyway), he was very likable,as always tough as nails, however what really ticked me off is why he decided to pick a crappy script like this, still he went with it, and gave it his all, and I truly appreciated that, he is the one reason that made this bearable. (Snipes Rules!!!!!!!). Jacqueline Obradors surprised me here by giving an above average performance, she was sexy quite intense, and enjoyable to watch, I rather dug her. Stuart Wilson looks embarrassed to be here and I don't blame him he is OK as the main villain, but was't menacing at all, he still rocks though!. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje did OK with what he had to do he was rather wasted and didn't have much of a part. Rest of the cast are so,so. Overall I would pass. ** out of 5 (and that's being generous!).
