Don't waste your time.
Bad script, extremely bad actors, just bad all around.

Sadly, this is very true.
The effects of the shooting guns were laughable. Sparks in a tree? Really?
Over 110 minutes for a story that could've easily been done in under 80 minutes.

Yeah, the metal trees were a nice touch - they went well with the 80 round magazines in the handguns.

The thing that stood out about this movie, to me, was the complete lack of deception on the part of the screenwriter/director. You know exactly what role each person you meet in the movie will play, withing 5 minutes of their introduction, and you have a good idea of their fate. I know I appreciate a movie that I can figure out in the first 5 minutes or so, making me a much more efficient movie goer.

Oh, you didn't believe that the US police department would hire an ex-army guy that sounded like Jacques Cousteau? It was the perfect example of what a movie set in the US would be like if it was created by people from Europe that had never actually been to the US, nor even watch any movies or TV shows from the US... that had relied solely on what they ahd heard 2nd hand about the US... If it wasn't so damn slow and boring it might have actually been funny because it was so bad.

This movie was terrible. The worst part was the chief of police. Talk about overacting and bad acting at the same time. And don't get me started in this movie trying to get me to believe a woman as hot as Agron would go for a scruffy, crappy accented, creepy looking guy she randomly sees in the park.

Yea, the Head Hog was a little too much. Only in Hollywood (or where ever this crap is from) can you treat employees that bad and not have them walk on you.
