My quick rating - 3,7/10. Yet another Bruce Willis vehicle that I have found lately is very fitting to watch while I am working. A methamphetamine cook hunts down the former police chief of a small town in order to silence him before he can deliver eyewitness testimony against his family, but ultimately finds himself up against more than he had bargained for. It sounds new, but it is really more of the same stuff with Willis being called upon to come save the family after being pushed out of the police years before. Still has STV quality all over it with typical action although his recent flix do like their headshots, so points for that. Lots of unnecessary dialogue though was a major disctraction and when that is something noticed in a 96 minute flick, you know it is bad. The script itself also is a head scratcher due to the moronic characters that were written into it. Jake, the main villain played by Michael Sirow, is motivated by a stupid cause to end up going on a murder spree. Along the way, he just makes mistake after mistake which makes you wonder why anyone would be listening to him as a "boss." I do suppose Ashley Greene was fine in the damsel in distress spot but she wasn't left out of the stupid decision tree either. This is another example of a movie that would be even worse had Bruce Willis not been in it, even if his time was again sparingly used although a bit more than a few others he has been forced to put out previously. Only for fans like myself and expect it to be a single viewing.
