AltAss Ratings (On a scale of 1 to 5 asses)
Plot & Writing:
No curveballs, just a steady dose of what scores best with sample audiences in the action genre.
Acting:
They stuck with the B list and below for this film as far as names go which is just fine seeing as not much talent was required to depict these characters.
Good guys with revenge motive, check. Bad guy without any morals whatsover who kills anybody who crosses him even slightly on a whim, check. Love interest for main good guy, check. Bad guys have good guys dead to rights when all of a sudden the tables turn and good triumphs over evil, check. Main bad guy barely escapes with his life leaving the possiblility for a sequel, check.
Overall:
This movie is watchable and if you want a quick mindless action ride, this one will do the trick. The film actually seems to embrace and own it's cliches instead of running from or masking them which actually earns it a few brownie points.
