Featured reviews
Another movie from the Netflix bargain table. If you switch off your mind, it is still reasonably entertaining. Some of the fight scenes are well realized. But on the whole, in my opinion, the production is only mediocre. The thin story is predictable and you can save yourself the last quarter of an hour, there are no more surprises. In terms of acting, the whole thing is pretty mixed to very bad. So this movie fits in with the typical Netflix productions. It's not about quality but about content. If it goes on like this, I'll have to cancel my Netflix subscription too. If you have nothing else to do, you can watch the movie, but don't expect too much.
I tried, I really did. I like Jessica Alba and generally enjoy these special forces revenge dramas, even if I have to overlook some shortcomings and suspend disbelief.
But this was so, so, so bad. Netflix, just when I don't think you can defecate on your audience any more nastily, you do it again, taking it to new lows.
Right off the bat it's terrible dialogue...and there weren't even many words needed in the first scene. Then come the hilariously bad stunts (every reaction happens a full second before the action that caused it, for example). Then the usual cliches and more bad dialog. A chainsaw that mysteriously starts itself without gasoline or battery to be used as a weapon. Ok, I'm out. I pushed through for 26 minutes and that was 25.5 too many.

Derivative generic tripe. Unbelievable and unrealistic. Poorly choreographed fight scenes and a waste of a number of good actors time and energy. Jessica Elba is looking good but is wasted in this movie . The storyline has been portrayed before in a number of similar movies which were better executed . It also went from the unbelievable to the preposterous in the last thirty minutes or so of the movie . I actually started writing this review with 20 minutes left to go as the nonsense had passed the point of no return . I hope Jessica Elba is offered better scripts for any future movies she considers .
Jessica Alba undoubtedly possesses the qualities needed to shine as an action star. Her performance is comparable to Jennifer Lopez in "The Mother" and Gal Gadot in "Heart of Stone" where both actresses showcase substantial talent. However, much like them, she is hampered by a poorly written script that fails to support her or any of the other cast members effectively. This recurring issue not only diminishes her potential impact but also the overall quality of the production, leaving much to be desired from what could otherwise be standout roles. It's just watchable on a rainy day when you don't have any other movie to turn to.
This movie receives a maximum of two stars from me. Some scenes in the movie have no continuity. This movie has terrible direction. Jessica Alba's acting prowess has been demonstrated in her prior films. However, in this one, there is acting confusion in every scene. Actually, hardly a single scene has any life in it. Discovering the cause of the heroine's father's death is the main goal of the film. It's a completely bad film. From the outset, it presents a quiet atmosphere in a desolate setting with few actors. It's like an inexperienced director took a nonsense script and cast it. Even with a bad screenplay, these kinds of thrillers ought to have better acting. Jessica doesn't even know how to hold a knife correctly in this film. A group of dramatists who were unaware of the circumstances made up the co-actors. Come on, Netflix is the greatest place to see if a movie is good or horrible right now.

- GoofsSpeaking of the stolen truck, Parker tells Mike that there's a machine gun in there. Parker is special forces and would know that an M4 is a rifle, not a machine gun. Only someone who doesn't know one weapon from another would say something like that.
