This action-thriller film has got to be one of the surprises of the year. The movie has its flaws for sure, but this is an action-thriller that does it right. What makes this film work so well is the careful direction from Carnahan to attempt to actually make each character their own, and let's the movie have moments to breathe without compromising the pacing. Making sure the slower scenes are filled with interesting story points, and great acting from the main leads. Carnahan did this so well it showed the true acting talent of both of the main stars Frank Grillo, and Gerard Butler, both known for constantly appearing in mindless, sometimes irrelevant pieces of noisemakers, both are allowed to shine here. Newcomer Alexis Louder does a great job at keeping up with them and helps create a trio of an acting battle which like I said before keeps the slower scenes engaging and entertaining, all rotating back to Carnahan's precise directing. This film is by far one of the best action films of the year, it's won't win any awards, which it isn't meant to, but it may leave you thinking about the film long after the credits role. Check this little gem out, there is a good chance you will enjoy it too. Oh, I forgot to mention, this has a lot of inspiration from Tarantino with its witty dialog, and unapologetic violence. Have fun!
