Everett Grant (Randy Couture) is private security who deals with questionable people in the Miami docklands. He has a troubled relationship with his estranged daughter Fiona 'Phoenix' Grant (Natalie Eva Marie) who is an American soldier fighting in Afghanistan under General Shackleton (Neal McDonough). Everett is murdered by mobsters although Phoenix is told that he committed suicide.
I came in wanting a movie with Randy Couture as the lead. I don't know anything about Natalie Eva Marie who is apparently a WWE wrestler. She's no great actor. She's not even as good as Randy. This becomes bait and switch when Randy gets killed right off the bat. He does have a lot of flashbacks, but it would be better to just have his story. The girl would be fine as a sidekick. The other good actor McDonough is left mostly by himself. I'm guessing that he did all his scenes in one day. On a side note, they are doing the CGI gunfire in this. I understand the safety aspect, but they do need to make it look better.
