My quick rating - 3,9/10. At least one person out of this group can act, but not even Mel Gibson can bring this into the realm of being recommended. The whole thing is just so amateur. Granted, this is a low-budget affair so you have to give some leeway to the poor effects and action scenes. There is an unusual amount of the shaky cam going on which gets especially irritating in scenes when it makes no sense to be used. I get the idea of using that type of cam for hiding poor choreography during fights but it really isn't needed for conversations. The plot has been used, with the anger issue challenged military guy getting hired to do some black op type thing. Which in this and all cases, ends up including all kinds of double-crosses and the like. This was no different and attempted to go that road only they were poorly executed and also not fully imagined out. It also doesn't help much that the sound often overshadowed the speaking. You would expect things like this to get fixed in post-production. Just a poorly executed flick all around. Still, there have been much worse so if you are a fan, watch for Mel and click the poster below if you would like to check it out for yourself.
