Michael L It is a mystery how a well-respected actor like Morgan Freeman ended up in this "action" movie. What is not a mystery is that the movie is treacherous ... a tragedy at least to say. If it makes you feel any better, the movie was directed by Dimitri Logothetis, who is know to produce movies that make Showgirls look like masterpiece. The acting is awful, the fight scenes are grotesquely bad and the whole movie makes you regret the price you paid for it. I would give it 0 stars if I could. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
