This film had potential to be outstanding, but it couldn't sell me. I didn't buy much of the dialogue to be realistic or believable. I didn't buy the killers motives either. I understand they tried to explain it away with various reasons but it just doesn't seem believable. The whole plot plays out to be a bit silly. On the good side, Cuba plays his part pretty well here. He looks worn out and dead inside, and I'm betting he didn't need to strain too hard to portray such a character. The action scenes are well done, as well as the sound design. That being said, I found myself wanting to see what was going to happen, and I wasn't bored. If a movie bores me I will easily fast forward or turn it off, and I made it through this one easily.
