Unintentionally funny

Someone wrote a semi-serious script, threw it to a bunch of actors and let them ham it up.
James Caan could act even if half comatose. Kevin Dillon and the rest; none of them have the physicality to pull off these roles but manage. Katie McGrath should've stayed on the antagonist side but carries on. Sam Huntington OK.

But the script doesn't make sense, logical plot holes, and impossible time lapses if you care about such things. This looked like a TV pilot; nevertheless, mildly entertaining.

Don't care how it got entertaining, only that it gets there.

it was so bad i turned it off 20 minutes in.
it had an 8.3 rating at the time.
i forgot to investigate, turned out it had only 66 people rating it at that time. i think they all worked on the film.

It was far from bad, in my opinion. It was entertaining. I would rate it around 5/10. Its definitely not a serious movie. It seems to be making fun of other action movies.

I literally thought it was a tv pilot due to Crackle putting it in both the Movie AND Show sections....i happened to see it in the show section first then realized it was a movie after over an hour had passed...even still....for a Free Crackle movie, it kept me entertained. And it was INTENTIONALLY funny. Im sure the script wasn't meant to be serious.
