Review: What an awful movie! I thought that I would give this film a chance because it had quite a decent B-list cast but the storyline was really bad, along with the acting and the terrible action scenes which were blatantly choreographed. Anyway, it's about a hit-man for hire who decides to hang up his guns after a job goes wrong. Whilst laying low in London, he witnesses a girl brutally getting beaten up by her pimp outside his apartment so he decides to take matters into his own hands, not realising that he was disrupting a underworld that involved big time gangsters. He also decides to save one of the prostitutes who is desperately trying to find her sister so he decides to help her which puts both of there life's in danger. He then starts to come across some of his old employee's who try there utmost to take out Bradley but his fighting skills are second to none. I really made it sound better than it really is! The acting is really, really bad from Gary Daniels who tried so hard to play a tough man but failing miserably. The predictable storyline was weak and poorly written and the action scenes were slow and badly put together. I really expected more from the B-actors, who should have some experience in the business to know that this movie was going to be crap. Maybe they just needed the work! Anyway, the director sadly left it open for sequel, which I definitely won't be in a rush to see, so I'm glad that I've been warned. AWFUL!
Round-Up: Once I saw that Mickey Rourke, Daryl Hannah, Eric Roberts, Jeff Fahey and Michael Madsen were starring in the same film, I thought that it might have been half decent but there careers must have hit rock bottom for them to have taken on such a terrible project. Rourke has really messed up his face with too much surgery, to the point were he looks like he dribbles when he is talking. Daryl Hannah has also gone a bit too far with the bottocks but Michael Madsen and Eric Roberts don't look to bad for there age. With that aside, it was good to see some of the B actors back on the big screen and the chemistry between Madsen and Hannah was much like when they were in Kill Bill together but it wasn't enough to save the movie. At 52 years old and with over 70 movies under his belt, it's a shock to see that Gary Daniels can't act. Its obvious that Daniels usually plays the muscle in all of his films so with so many actors to choose from, I don't know why the director, Ara Paiaya, chose to stick him in the lead. Anyway, the director is known for his action movies but I personally haven't heard of him before. He done well by getting all of these B actors together but he really didn't make good use of them and he wasted a lot of time and money putting this movie together.
I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/crime movie about an ex- hit-man trying to take-down done gangster who launder women for currency. 1/10
