Terrible

Absolutely terrible movie.

I love Vinnie Jones, and he's becoming a decent actor, but Gary Stretch was awful and totally spoiled my memories of him as a boxer. Adrian Paul was odd, and what on earth were Rea and Lee doing in this movie?

Yeah the movie was too long. The main dude couldn't act and the script played off like a thug trying to be deep. Every bad thing kept hitting him and then the whole redundant one on one scene with the girl apartment and the cat was hilarious. Really was reaching.

I usually like to say something good about a film as it takes a lot of effort to get a project from an idea to the screen.

But I can't with this.

It is sh!t.

Come on, didn't anything in the film make you cringe or hope for another outcome?

It says alot for cinema that this is one of the BEST films ive seen this year so far.
The pace was good and i didnt get itchy-bum-time, a sign a film is too long (Avatar) or a film is too *beep* ( Benjamin Button).
Was a solid thriller with good acting and I didnt twig the twist at the end until about 10mins till the finish. I took away the past historys of the actors involved and saw the film for what it was which i liked.
If people find this *beep* i would love a few posts on what peeps think is a good thriller.

Adrian Paul's performance was diabolically bad but the actress playing his secretary out did him.
