“The film reminds me of, The Cold Light of Day, both involved Bruce Willis playing a dad whose son joins the family business of espionage after hit with tragedyu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut instead of Man of Steelu0026#39;s Henry Cavill, we get some new guy, Kellan Lutz. It looks like the new guy is trying to showcase his fighting skills. Though the action sequences are OK, they do absolutely nothing to make me think this new guy could be the next Jason Statham or anything like that. Pretty lame since his name appears before Willis.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat really sucks is that the movie is sleeping Gina Caranou0026#39;s skills. I was thinking that she was in the film as a backup just in case the new pretty boy falls short, which he does, and she would pick up the slack, but she acted as no more than just the love interest for the hero, which is so lame, cause I seen her do too many amazing fight scenes to be second rate in this film. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSpeaking of second rate, Bruce Willis most likely lends his name to the movie in exchange for a big pay check. Heu0026#39;s barely in it. I will say when he is on the screen, Mr. Willis does do a little bit of acting. Just enough to give the character a little more depth than the others (guess he did not want young and hot new action star to upstage him)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo the movie is not as bad as Iu0026#39;m making it out to be. itu0026#39;s a 100% pure action flick and itu0026#39;s too generic to be in a good or bad category. It just is. Something that you can stream on your computer while distracted by other things.”
