Mike Scott Times-Picayune There's potential for a by-the-numbers underworld detective story. Unfortunately, that potential never is realized in Miller's film, a flaccid and convoluted tale of double-crosses. Rated: 1/4 Jul 19, 2011 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Muddled and frequently comatose, the picture yearns to be a turbulent ride of crooks and cops, yet it never rises to the occasion, generating a feeble mystery sold by a cast of brutes trying to pass themselves off as actors. Rated: D Jul 15, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Kyle J Comic book of a movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review kevin c Dave Bautista plays an ex cop working as security for an illegal gambling/sex operation which one night gets robbed and the owner's son killed. He is tasked to find the killer but things get complicated when fingers start pointing at him. Fairly decent crime flick which also stars Dominic Purcell, Amy Smart and Danny Trejo. Forgettable but a good job done by Bautista in his first leading role. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I give this movie one star only for Dominic Purcell's marvellous hairstyle. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Was great seeing Dominic Purcell in this movie, everything else just didn't work! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not complete garbage, wrestler Dave Batista can't act, and the story is terrible, but it's still at least watchable.
