About
If you enjoy loud, outrageous ’90s action with constant shootouts, big stunts, and a simple survival setup, this should hit the spot; Not for you if you need realism or a strong plot like Payback or Run All Night.
Pros: nonstop over-the-top action; memorable stunts and fights; entertaining villains | Cons: thin, silly story; logic takes a backseat; uneven acting and dialogue
