I bought a ticket to this movie because I assumed that any cop movie starring Mel Gibson would be worth watching. After all, he is a giant of TV and movies, and has a wonderful back catalogue of work with some really memorable performances and great storylines. Oh how the mighty have fallen. This film was a complete turkey from the first minute to the last. And Mel hardly has much to do with the movie, only appears in a few poorly scripted, predictable scenes. This is a boring movie, I was constantly waiting for something interesting to happen, but to no avail. Thankfully the end came and I escaped out of the cinema back to the real world. Oh Mel, what happened??

No pun intended - the movie is another one for Mel Gibson ... who may take over from Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage ... the former not being able to perform anymore ... not that there is much performing necessary. But you know what I mean. This action thriller is overall decent I reckon. But unfortunately it is also quite muddled ... and all over the place (again no pun intended). I think you will have better things to do with your time, but it is nice to see some of the actors ... even if they seem overqualified for the movie they have been hired to do ... it happens! And don't we all need money? Exactly!

This film has no redeeming qualities. It is shot poorly. The script makes no sense. The actors mumble through everything and Mel Gibson is not really in this movie and as much as is it is a cameo. It's like a love affair, that the filmmakers had with cocaine and violence. It's beyond sophomoric. The actors mumbled through their dialogue and are completely incoherent. Truly a travesty. More time was spent on lighting and glamorizing, money, flying, and cocaine, production, and usage, then in actual crafting of a film. Looks cheap and immature and made by amateurs. There is no reason to watch this at all. Not entertaining. Not in lightning. Not one enjoyable moment.

Whoever had the misfortune of investing in this film must be crying in their hat. What did I just watch? How is this marketed as a Mel Gibson movie? He is hardly in it and seems brain dead. He must've owed someone a favor... Cannot understand any of the dialogue not that it matters. And why was this shot so poorly? The script makes absolutely no sense. This is a complete waste of time. And these actors all seem to be mumbling their words as characters from other movies. Absolutely not cohesive. The directing is abysmal. Not sure what is wrong with the color. I thought it was my TV set but lo and behold, I don't think so. Absolutely rubbish. Don't waste your time or money.

I'ts based on a True Story, as for the camerawork and the lighting again read the end titles, it was shot in Covid times, so pretty understandable it won't be up to usual standards as I would think you had a skeleton crew working on it As for the cast, excellent, Dominic Purcell is one of my favourite actors and even Mel Gibson was good in his small part. Yes the story is hard to believe, but folks it says "based on a true story" The acting from all the cast was decent, don't know why such bad reviews for this film. Sometimes the wrong thing is the right thing to do, as they say and maybe in this instance they were right.

I am trying to figure out, not only WHY would Mel Gibson even BE IN THIS, but also how the hell could they even pay him?! This isn't a Low-Budget film; it's a NO BUDGET "film"! I'm pretty sure that the cellphone they used to make this "film" was one of those early 2000s ones. This movie is pretty horrible!!! This is definitely a D-Movie, and NO I did not mean to say B !!! I would NEVER recommend this movie! You will be bored, confused, and HIGHLY disappointed! I can't believe there is even one person that watched the entire movie and actually liked it!!! It was so CRAPPY and EMBARRASSING!!!!
