I low key loved this. It's rare these days for a action flick to really bring the inner kid out of me, but man did this do it. It's god damn relentless for the majority of it's brisk 96 minute running time and honestly if certain scenes were directed and paced better I'd put it up there with The Raid movies or John Wick 1 and 2 as far as quality, because while its probably not quite as strong as those from a story perspective I had just as much fun with it as those movies. The gun play carnage and hand to hand fight sequences in this are fucking great. Jesse V. Johnson has shown in the past that he definitely has an eye when it comes to directing action and that's no different here.

Loved how gruesome it got at times too and thank god for the plentiful amount of practical blood squibs. It's sad how long it feels since I have seen that in one of these lower budgeted action flicks, but it was definitely a welcomed surprise. Also, this might be my favorite villain role for Scott Adkins. He easily has the best lines, although Michael Jai White had some fun stuff too, but I loved his no nonsense tough guy attitude on top of how much of a badass he already is.

B+

This plays more like an American DTV movie than the movies these guys are most known for. Way too many white people saying super baddass macho phrases that don’t always make a ton of sense. For instance, minutes after shooting up a police station and easily killing everyone there, the main villiain says “we can’t be walking around with these AKs or we’ll draw the heat on us.” My dude there is no heat left, you just killed them all. Oh and Iko is a total bitch in this movie.

The fight scenes are still good enough to make it worth watching though. And luckily there’s a fight scene every ten minutes or so.
