“This film was such a mess I had to look up the director to see what else he has done. The first film he directed was u0026quot;Romeo Must Dieu0026quot;, which I liked. After that, it was a string of B-level (at best) action movies with B-level (at best) actors. Then came this mess.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is just so much wrong with this movie. The u0026quot;revengeu0026quot; angle made no sense, since it was directed at the wrong people by the bad guys. The dialogue was awkward, laughable at times. The acting was uninspired. It was like this was thrown together in a few days just to try to make some money. Even the subtitles on the DVD are messed up. At one point we see a small airport. The subtitles say u0026quot;(helicopter chopping)u0026quot;. Then into the frame comes a single-engine small airplane making a lot of noise. No helicopter in sight. There are other mistakes in the subtitles, too.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s said here that this movie was u0026quot;A thriller inspired by the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013u0026quot;. Other than there being two brothers, there was no similarity. It was just like any number of other u0026quot;terroristu0026quot; movies. If I was a survivor of that event, or a family member affected by it, Iu0026#39;d be insulted by the comparison.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only saving grace for me was India Eisley. I consider her to be utterly gorgeous. An absolute beauty. Stunning. I could watch her sit and read a book for an hour and half.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCome to think of it, that would have been better than this movie was.”
