I knew something was wrong when the highly professional "cleaner" - i.e. hitman - pretended to be looking for a lost dog - he even carried a dog lead - as a way of overhearing a conversation between people near a boat that told him where his target was, and as he walked away from the boat he threw the dog-lead away. That immediately told the people he wasn't actually looking for a lost dog. Stupid plot hole.And then minutes later some bad guy pulls a gun on a guy so I'm thinking "OK, shoot him now" - which is what any bad guy would actually do. But no, he walks right up to the good guy, and presses the end of the gun to his forehead. Obvious what would happen next. Stupid plot.

A lot of good actors end up carrying films like this. Sometimes they hit on a good one, with a good budget. I think it's just a matter of the popularity of the actor. Tony Jaa in the protector for example. His martial arts and acting was a lot better than in Furious 7. Heat with Robert De Niro was all star and therefor a hit. The expendables however..an exception. Too many actors competing.Jason Statham is very popular but Crank(either one) was lousy. Luke Goss, although a good actor, seems to get canceled out when playing next to a better known tough guy even if it's a lousy movie. Popularity or just not being well known enough. What would happen if you threw in say Jason Statham instead of RAZ? Might be even, might not. Would be better though, but try getting a hold of Jason and your budget go'es up 50%. Altogether i give i give this one a 7 only because i watch movies depending on the actor who's in it. By the way, i've never even heard of RAZ until this movie.

Writers put many irrelevant things things in this movie to make it a torture. Unnecessary action. What was Conrad Miller doing in those motels and even if he had entered a wrong motel, why writers engaged him in freeing the slave girls & killing the human - traffickers plus arresting a cop too?. What was connection of these events with containing secret government information by Conrad Miller which he was alleged to have sold to Russians or other buyers? What was the need to involve an AWOL officer into Municipal Law things (Police / slave girls / human smugglers)? If Laura Wilder was a Russian agent and Conrad Miller, an American Agent and they were a married couple and both a spy of enemy countries? Then what a pathetic outcome of the movie was? Writer mixed many things up and viewer is far from getting near to it what was going in the movie.I saw many Action movies, spy movies, army officers movies but this was the most terrible and unpleasant experience for me. Torture for a viewer. Waste of time & money. Pathetic plot, characters and events poorly connected with each other, result-less events in the movie & real thing- fate of an AWOL left almost unattended?You really don't believe that movie has ended when it ends on screen. Pathtic & absurd.

Watched this movie with a friend and we both thought it was worth a bucket of popcorn and the 1.5 hours. Is it academy award winning material? Absolutely not. Is the storyline new or innovative. Again, no. However, I thought Luke Goss had good screen presence and to see RZA continue to branch out of his music origins is a welcome sight. A previous reviewer focused on RZA's poor acting skills. I didn't see that. This is his 3rd movie that I have seen and I see him getting better. I must state that Bokeem Woodbine's character was unimpressive. He tried to do the 'hard/killer' roll and it fell flat. With all that said I suggest to take a chance and have a look see. You won't be blown away but you won't be disappointed either.
