Review :
I was lucky enough to catch this flick on the fly recently, and I'm glad I did...
An Action/Suspense/Spy movie, it stars Randy Coutoure and Vinnie Jones in a plot involving a CIA op against a crime organization. Also going on is Coutoure not being over his relationship with his ex-fiancée. It seems that he is thinking of trying to reconcile with her, and it seems that she might not be over him either.
Coutoure is not known for acting skill, but he does a credible job in making this film a good watch. Vinnie Jones turns in his usual well done performance doing what he does so well, the British/Aussie accented tough guy.
The ex becomes entangled in the CIA/Crime intrigue and naturally Coutoure becomes as active in protecting her as he is in finishing his assignment. And just as naturally, he has to do it on his own as circumstances result in him being non-official.
This is a well done action and suspense movie with a little romantic interest thrown in for good measure. The suspense is somewhat understated to begin, and builds more about half way through, with more and more implicated individuals, which I felt was effective. And when the action kicks in, it also builds effectively and realistically in that it is sporadic. And the fight choreography is pretty good... and Randy is not the only one kicking ass, literally and figuratively.
Does Randy get the girl (back)? Well, this one is well worth watching to find out, as well as to see the plot twist at the end.
Credits by Don Shroyer.
