Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media 02/17/2023
1/5
Incoherent, abysmally acted, and bafflingly edited, this generic action movie is frustrating on many levels. But its cynicism --both toward its characters and the viewers -- is the worst thing about it. Go to Full Review

and he won't stop until justice is served. Tony Schiena directorial debut and also stars in this as former special forces agent Dallas. We are introduced to his character through flashbacks of of a daring violent rescue of a women that was kidnapped and forced into a sex trafficking ring. His encounter is with a insane ruthless violent motorcycle gang. The depiction is terrifying and well shot and acted out by all involved to give an authentic feel of the situation. We have so much going on here we have iconic Cubin Gooding Jr and things get really deep as Dallas takes on Biker gangs, cartels and the guy who is organizing this whole encounter Lars played by the always welcome Richard Grieco. Who by the way kidnapped Dallas girlfriend the beautiful and talented AnnaLynne McCord. My buddy Shannon Ritch has a fun scene as Sully. James Chalke a great actor has a very memorable performance. Check out the exclusive clip below. What we have is a set up that just explodes with action and some of the best fight scenes choreographed that I have scene in awhile. It's such a breath of fresh air to see a movie with such adrenaline and constructed scenes. There is such a great ensemble of actors here you don't want it to end. Tony Schiena had a challenge here on his first project. But he had a great team and it all panned out. See more Harris R @Harrisons_reviews 02/18/2023 I am stunned. When I tell you this is the worst movie you will ever see in your life, it's an understatement. I can't even say it's a C film, it's that bad. There's a little room for forgiveness due to this being actor Tony Schiena's (who also acted in this film) first time as a director. But where there's no excuse is how horribly this was written by Michael Caissie. This is the most incoherent and inept screenplay ever written. The plot is so convoluted with ridiculous characters popping in and out with no backstory, reason or explanation. It's so bad, that the actual dialogue one tough-guy says is "L-O-L". Then you have the worst editing I have ever seen - was this mess even edited? Scenes just end and another starts like the screenplay was shredded and randomly taped back together. The screenplay and editing need to be studied in film school on what not to do. Don't be fooled by some high-caliber names being cast, I'm sure they are all regretting it - albeit the minimal scenes they had. The score was loud and overbearing, and all casting and performances including the action scenes, were amateur-hour cringeworthy. I'm baffled at the production companies that saw the final cut and decided to go to market thinking this nonsense was watchable, because it's not. It's irritatingly and frustratingly unwatchable. It's a very generous 2/10 from me, out of pity for some of the decent actors that had their names attached to this. See more Read all reviews
