Ed Travis Cinapse There's little to recommend here beyond Snipes always being an enjoyable watch and the accidental casting coup of future Game Of Thrones stars in supporting rolls. May 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

hurrikaine68 I watched this movie in 2023 & I found it to be enjoyable, so it must have been much better back in 2006-2007 when it was released! Snipes is good in this action film, as usual, along with a simple, but good plot/story & supporting cast. I don't know why it scored so low/mediocre. I recommend it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review David B Hugely underestimated film. Lots of character building. Some echoes of LEON. Sub plot of CIA assassins is in my view an aspect which kinda diminishes the impact somewhat, as it's such an obvious theme and therefore a tad "yawn some". Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: Um filme que a mistura de US Marshal, filme este que tem ele Wesley e Tomy Lee. Com "Atirador" Mark Wahlberg. Porem este filme não supera nenhum dos 2. Um filme cheio de conspiração e trama. Onde Wesley é acusado de ser assassino de um mafioso. Quem arma isso é agência CIA. E tem em sue incalço a policial Lena. Que acha que ele também é assassino de seu pai. Com todos atrás dele, ele deve provar sua inocência. Um filme mediano fraco. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra alternativa.

A retired killer is back to do a last job, hired by the chief of NSA and of course he betray the old friend. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/05/22 Full Review Audience Member A very sterotypical action movie by an aging x-action star who can no longer cope with the action sequences. Common revenge against the spy masters that burned you plot, quick edits and slow motion to hide the fact that no actual fighting or stunts are occurring, and an absurdly fake heart-tugging story involving a young girl. So cookie-cutter, and so bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Wesley Snipes, like Bruce Willis, always gives you something to grasp on to in a movie. This movie is all him. It is a low budget spy and action thriller with a number of downsides. It is slow. It is not well shot. I still found it watchable because Snipes, and Lena Headley, gave me something to connect to. Eliza Bennett, as the young neighbor that assists Snipes is actually better than Natalie Portman in The Professional, a much better movie overall with similar themes. If you like Snipes you will like this but wish there was a greater display of his fighting skills. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
