Review:

Oh my god. Please do not waste your time on this movie. Please. I beg you. Don’t. Watch Twilight or CSPAN, but not this movie.

I really like Gina Carano but I’ve yet to see her in a movie that properly utilizes her talents. As in her fighting talents, cause she currently cannot act. That’s fine though, there’s a shortage of female action stars that can kick ass. Put her in a role where she beats the shit out of people.

This movie had some serious pacing issues. It was boring as shit and then a fight scene would happen and then it would be boring as shit again. The plot sounds interesting and if they’d done the usual action movie fare and skipped story it would have been fine. As in within the first ten minutes her husband is kidnapped and she goes on a rampage to find him. Think Commando. Actually go watch Commando instead of this movie.

There are several good reviews and it has a surprising rating of 5.8 on IMDB.com. I have no idea what movie these people were watching but it wasn’t this one. Maybe they fell asleep and woke up whenever shit happened. I don’t know, whatever the case go watch paint dry or something before watching this.

1/5

Also they thought they were being so witty with that title, but they weren’t. They were stupid. And that’s all I have to say about that.
