"I bought this movie in blockbuster for $7.99 I thought why not? It sounded good and any movie with explosions I love. Ok turn the movie on and as soon as I see the first explosion I turned it off! why? because the explosion is from the movie End Of Days when the restaraunt explodes. Excatly the same thing. Then i just skimmed through it and there was another explosion when a building explodes and a man jumps through a window. That was taken from The Glimmer Man! if your going to direct a movie USE YOUR OWN EXPLOSIONS!! Dont take it from other movies. Even if you use computer generated ones. It is still better then taking them from other movies!

Now as far as the acting goes it was dreadful! Randalf Batinkoff cannot act! I had never heard of him before, but Im glad I didnt. Bokeem Woodbine is in this. He was in The Breed, and Snipper 2. Now the breed he was ok. But in this movie he stinks. He really cannot act. If your looking for an actor look else where. Elizabeth Berkley I think is a good actress. Anything she does is good. Not oscar worthy, but not bad either!

I think the budget was 5-6 million dollars which is not a lot at all! The acting was poor. Production was horrible and the fact they stole explosions made it even worse! If your looking for thriller with explosions look at face off or any good movies."

Ridiculous

"Just finished watching the movie and didn't like it.
The ending is okay, but in my opinion, the acting is overplayed
and artificial. The dialog is annoying. Didn't like the casting.
Stan Shaw looks ridiculous in Robert Brickland's role. The explosions and shooting scenes look absurd, and in general, most of it's parts we have seen in a lot of other Hollowood movies. My advice: skip this one. There are better action movies out there."
