I am still trying to figure out what I just watched. By all means there was something entertaining, but not because it was a good entertaining film but by awful it is. I wasn't expecting that much in the first place, as it was from the notorious The Asylum, but still you do hope to see something watchable or fun. For starters I was very confused to where the film was set, with the political references and the modern dress it could have been any period and I wouldn't even know. The editing is choppy, especially in the shoot-outs, which had no intensity at all, the scenery is dully lit and not that special, as I have seen scenery like this so many times before and the effects were so cheap you could swear they were constructed in minutes and for less the £5. The music has a rather generic sound to it and the sound effects actually manage to be disconcertingly louder than the delivery of the dialogue. Speaking of the dialogue it was cheesy(so much so I was in hysterics for all the wrong reasons) and with the delivery even incoherent, and I got no thrills or excitement from an I think derivative, often dull and very predictably told story. The characters are stereotypical and annoying, you don't feel any of the heroism and such of the lead character, while the acting ranges from wildly over-the-top to unbearably wooden. Overall, really awful though sometimes funny because of that, though I also had a feeling that I wasn't sure what it was I was watching. 1/10 Bethany Cox
