The people who have given this such ridiculously low reviews are being too biased, and I repudiate any reviewer who does not judge this film solely by its own merits instead of their own exorbitant expectations.
The chemistry between John Cusack and Thomas Jane is great. Together they perfectly lift the script out of mediocrity, their screen personas are absolutely superb. The action sequences are well-shot. The humor is perfectly fine. The story isn't the most creative, but it is nonetheless a perfectly sound caper. Besides, it is refreshing to see such a film both set and filmed entirely in Australia. The script is not awful by any means. I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout.
The film is nothing grand or special, but it's good solid entertainment for its scale and budget.
