OK I Love Scott Adkins but mostly he is not main role in Movies sometimes he is main role like in Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning and Undisputed 3 and Ninja and this is he's main role of movie sweet i like to see him more of main role movies this movie is like Get the Gringo 2 with Mel Gibson know as How I Spent My Summer Vacation. why is it like Mel Gibson movie well (1) Mel Gibson has no name in this movie named Driver in El Gringo Scott Adkins role the Man is cop he was under Attack by Mexican gangs His partners are killed but he manages to escape (after killing the gunmen who attacked him) for Hour he was looking for water young girl with knife was trying to rob him he says your holding the knife the wrong way he get's it,punch's her in face he walked to bar meet girl and got to know each another he had drug money with him he had to take because he might need it so he payed her with drug money later she might thought he was drug dealer or gang member but he wasn't you have gangs that don't do much going after him because he has drug money the Action Scenes were awesome i love part when he got gun gang were on line,Scott shoot's the gun killed all 4 guys in one shoot went threw their heads that was AWESOME. Christian Slater as cop but later you find out he is bad guy as in bad cop he doesn't do much in this movie he is tracking him because he has drug money and bring it back to Deputy Chief Logan Christian should do better movies not like this he doesn't do much in this movie more of Scott Adkins fan this movie is entering,Actioner,Fun,Fast Placed and enjoyable movie like Get the Gringo or should i say Get the gringo 2 or how i spent my summer Vacation 2 it's like that but in b movie 8/10 good underrated flick with Scott Adkins do more role movies with BIGGER BUDGETS Like Expendables 2,Zero Dark Thirty,Bourne Ultimatum do more big budget not low budget.

Basically a no-brainer b-grade gun fighting, action-packed flick wherein the director cannot make up his mind whether to keep the hero as the better fighter or the initial scary villain as the baddest guy.Some of the scenes make you wince for its predictability or non-originality.Terrific photography from all sorts of angles, new fight techniques and loud music make it thoroughly enjoyable on surround sound.Subtle humor with the mongrel and fight scenes wherein the bad guy gets very upset whenever he loses his hat make the movie intriguing.Romantic scene when she heals his wounds a nice turn on.Lack of logic in many scenes like why the gang would not see what is in the bag which the hero desperately tried to retain.If you can look the other way at some of the absurdity and inanity, you might enjoy this if you like movies like Machete, by the other Rodriguez.

I like Adkins. In the past few years he has been making some decent movies, and he has the potential to be a big Direct to DVD star, just like we had back in the eighties.But this is just a mess. Take one part Desperado, one part Payback, and mingle Michael Bay with Robert Rodriguez, and then take away any urgency, humour or clever writing, you get this.It's the same tired story. Drifter comes into town, pulls the barmaid, has a few scuffles with the local gang, who are always in cahoots with the Sheriff, and then later in the film, you get an extended cameo from someone who was big twenty years ago, and then just shoot guns.I'm even boring myself writing about it. It's way to long, if they had trimmed twenty minutes of it, it still would have been dodgy, but at least I wouldn't have been as bored.We get endless shots of Adkins looking concerned or perplexed, and if some tried to take his bag once, they tried at least fifteen times. It was beyond silly how many times his bag was threatened.It's not Adkins fault, he hasn't been given a good script, he's okay, but he's a lot better in other movies.It could have been good, but my gosh, it's a stinker.Shame on you Joel Silver, you produced Die hard...

Worst movie I have seen in a decade.Who was stupid enough to finance this awful cinematic travesty?If you want to witness a truly terrible film, this is it. I feel like I have lost 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. I tried to give this one an honest run, but the opening and ending was pitiful.Plot line was brutally thin. Characters were as deep as the kiddie pool at the YMCA. Save your time, pick another film. The only reason I wrote this review... first one ever... was because I felt I owed it to humanity to at least present a warning. So terrible.
