This guy has too be the biggest and wimpest ex-cop/con ever


He got his arse kicked most of the dang movie. How in the heck did he let the lady grab the gun while he had one pointed at her

Just typical poor movie execution . They needed her to shoot Carlos so he would be deeper in it. Carlos should have reacted fast enough to stop her getting across him in the bed. It was stupid. Bautista moves like he's autistic. It was painful watching him do anything physical. The hard rock song that played just for him walking round the streets, doing nothing was hysterical.

The fight at the end with Purcell was also ridiculous. Bautista was twice his size and Purcell was taking multiple shots to the face and body and somehow he's the one standing at the end lol!

Yeah, thats exactly what i was thinking, would they had cast a guy with a regular size(for exemple Shawn Michaels if you take a wrestler) then it would had fit a bit more. But they cast the big guy, the one call "the animal", a guy with large arms, that look very intimidating, that play a bouncer, who is an ex cop and ex con... and yet for most of the movie he get his ass kicked... LOL

The ending also kinda slap us in the face... obviously "Jimmy" was just wounded, and he would testify for Ray to be release, and Jamie was a whitness too. In the end the whole "getting arrested" is kind of like just to make a climatic dramatic ending without much reason.

I dunno, its ok for a crime movie, but nothing great either... i bought it for 5$ and its getting in the "trade at the pawnshop" pile for my next visit...

Alice is the worst character of all time, she need to die in the last movie. Chris/Jill are RE !!!

It was an okay movie, it was on HBO not too long ago. The ending threw me off too, I wonder if that's how it really ended in the book. It was much better than "Wrong Side of Town" with Batista and RVD, that's for sure.
