The movie had all the requirements to be an entertaining special ops/army movie. Decent plot, nefarious Russian villain, lots of guns, and copious amounts of explosions. The movie had a small twist that, fortunately, didn't detract from the action but heightened your sense of not knowing what you should believe. Wesley Snipes plays the Painter; a highly trained master of stealth with a spotted background exuding a subtle hope of redemption from the following mission. Not that much training is required for this mission, however, as all the Russians graduated from the same marksmanship school that the imperial stormtroopers emerged from. I enjoyed it, it reminded me of Mission Impossible if it had been directed by Ted Kotcheff.
