Fun Movie

Great cast, entertaining movie, not too over the top(other than endless gun fire without reloading).

If you watched this expecting anything other than a b movie, you are clearly not an experienced film watcher. Pretty much anything with Slater sucks. I knew the second I saw his name. When I watched the trailer it confirmed my suspicion of a b movie. I expected 1/10 when I first watched it and came out with about a 6/10 for sheer entertainment value.

My wife and I watched it today. It was an entertaining B movie!

Yes, certainly one of the better b-movies. I do believe it was only saved due to the cast though.

Agreed. If this had a different/lame cast it would not have been as good.

I expected it to be far far worse, but I was pleasantly pleased. Production values were pretty good, didn't feel too cheap and most of the name actors were in good form. Obviously it's all pretty low scale action but for a cheapo B-Movie they did pretty well for themselves. Colm Meaney was, as ever, a great bad guy and Christian Slater back in great shape are the stand outs but Ving and the boys all provide solid support. Shame they didn't have a little more to work with story wise.

Went in with the lowest expectations, surprised how much I enjoyed it too. The beginning was bad, but once Sean Bean, Dominic Monaghan, Ving Rhames and James Cromwell got introduced, it turned around fast. Me and my friends personally liked it better than The Expendables.

I agree with the other posts. I enjoyed the movie. Now if they could have made up their mind if they want to make a comedy or a serious movie it would have been quite good. Maybe start watching only after the card game.

Yeah, thought it was pretty fun too. Anything Sean Bean or Christian Salter can always be counted as halfway entertaining right? Except maybe Ca$h.

I would love to say it was one of those "so bad, its good" films, but there just wasnt quite enough ridiculousness and cheese.
