toddg-473-289818 Ex wrestler Dave Bautista has been cast as Ray, a former cop and now ex- con working security in a nightclub. After he gets blamed when the club is robbed, he sets out to clear his name by trying to prove the robbery was an inside job. The crooked family who owns the club is trying to pin the crime on Ray, leaving Ray with little time to avoid being framed and eventually killed.Bautista should have stuck with wrestling, as his acting is flat, emotionless, and generally not believable. He looks like a useless meat head trying to get through his lines from the script while the rest of the actors slow down their pace so he can try and keep up. Even Amy Smart, who is usually pretty solid in her roles, is useless here. The one bright spot in the movie is actor Dominic Purcell, who plays Tony, part of the corrupt machine looking to take over the club's operations. I first watched Purcell in "Assault on Wall Street", and found his everyman character to be both understated and effective. But even he was limited in what he could do with such a weak script and weak leading actor.

darylbradshaw This movie after watching 10 minutes myself also realized that it was a very bad b class movie that had no real story line to it. Then if you watch the movie you will see almost every time you see Batista, he has a smoke sticking out of his face.After sitting and watching the entire movie, I wondered one question, "WHY". It was very very bad to watch and even consider as a good movie. This shows me with the quality of movie, why it was or never made it to he theater. It is almost the same as watching a class b movie in Canada. I give it about a 4/10 rating for it's quality.This movie should have been left without even being done.

Oli The major issue with this film is the script. Its awkward, flabby dialogue, when played out by already-mediocre actors, results in something that is painful to watch. People just don't talk to each other in the way this film portrays. Its story is (by design, it seems) completely predictable.The sad thing is Bautista comes across as one of the better actors in this. I haven't seen any of his wrestling but I'd have the guess that his signature move was diving over a table to escape bullets.You occasionally get some okay music (but this is a film, not an album) and the camera work and production values are generally pretty good. It looks and sounds like it should be a good film but it's really just a well-polished turd.Avoid it. You won't get that 80 minutes back.

newt2440 The trailer for this is actually pretty solid and i thought it would be good because of the supporting cast as well. batista limited to short lines and fightng wouldve been fine, except that they did the opposite. they gave him useless stupid long lines of dialogue, and i think i counted three "action" scenes. I put that in quotations because none of the action aside from maybe the opening shootout was fast paced.this was miscast, in terms of the lead cop who plays a minor foil for batista. he acts all tough, but looks like a scrawny little punk, as does purcell's lead henchmen who looks 160 lbs soaking wet.there were a few unintentionally funny moments where i laughed because the lines/cussing seemed so unnecessary. for instance when in the parking lot, batista wants another file from his ex partner, at the end of it the ex partner randomly goes "f*ck you, asshole!" with a double flick off, then drives off. also after he fights the black guy at the house, batista says, " let's go you big f*ck." end scene.at the very end of the movie after amy smart is shown shoving cops and saying ray for about two tediously long minutes, the last line is "have a great life, jeannie."...jenny...whatever her name is. and that is that.... no real closure. abrupt, silly ending to a very cliché movie with no real action.
