CRITICS
There was too much talk in the movie than action which makes it looks more like a talk show rather than an action movie as it is stated. The movie was quite exhausting and the 93 minutes was more like 11 hours.
Micheal Jai White named James in the movie played the role of a cop who is suffering from PTSD after mistakenly killing three hostages while a shootout was ongoing with drug traffickers, he lived with his wife and two daughters in a house where $3 million was stashed by a robber named Johnny (Rourke) a newly convicted criminal who just got reunited with his gangs planning to take the money stolen which he hid in the agents house before he was arrested, there was alot of confrontation which didn't involve the lead characters until the grace of the movie was about to be shared making the film look so long and boring as the actions people were expecting wasn't there.
The ardent followers of Mickey Rourke would have been imagining what was going on after the actor was no where to be found in the film after the first 20.minutes of the movie but only resurface at the end of the movie showing that the movie is about to come to an end.
Infact the movie was boring and predictable as there was more of talks than action due to the fact that the supporting characters were quite irrelevant and they just ensured the movie lasted for a longer time, that's basically the purpose of the supporting characters.
The movie was shot within 11 days which showed that the Director Asif was given a deadline which he had to meet and which made the film not so perfect, there was no visual style or framing to enhance the picture of the movie, also not having enough time to retake scences that wasn't so perfect.
The dialogues scene had alot of mismatch tones or style that the words communicate which eventually made it comedic to viewers, atleast we had some good laughs in between.
The screenplay was speaking something else for the film itself was showing something else, the screenplay was about a cop who is stressed against a criminal who was released and wasn't ready to leave his old ways, surprisingly the movie majors mainly on some groups of teenagers having party in a house staked with $3 million by a criminal who is looking for a perfect time to take off with the money with low suspense scene which is the fact that one is always looking out for when the movie stars will show up.
The main actors didn't really put in their best as well as the Criminal is still more like a happy person who isn't angry about loosing his money or just been released from jail and also the Agent is over serious with the guilt he is feeling and makes the act looks overblown.
Lets look at a viewer review below from one of the popular movie site IMDb was going to send a letter to the writers to ask for my time back that was wasted but I know that won't happen. The acting was horrible, and the special effects was not special.
Michael Jai White was OK in this movie just not enough action, and he looked like he had a few more cheeseburgers recently. Mickey Rourke........bout time to call it quits his face looked like it was molded from playdough.
And some scenes it looked like he was in lala land or just not following lol watch how short his lines are!! I had more fun pointing out the flaws in the movie that is what made able to watch it.
