“(My Ratings)nOverall: 65.5/100nIMDb: 6/10nLetterboxd: 3/5u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe big appreciation I had about this film was the diversity. Although the film takes place in Vietnam for a good portion. There wasnu0026#39;t a heavy hand of white folks (coming from a white guy). There was some good authenticity about where things took place.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFrom an acting point of view, I found that Maggie Q and Samuel L. Truly delivered in this film. Their performances were just below award worthy with their cool gal/cool guy demeanours. They also brought a slight bit of comedy to the film which was enjoyable. Michael Keaton also brought a convincing amount of romanticism to the whole foe vs foe, I want to kill you, but I also want to have sex with you kind of vibe.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe action was honestly a lot of fun, as well as, bloody and gruesome at times. For some it may have been over the top, but I enjoyed it. While I canu0026#39;t remember the score I thought visually the movie was stunning. The colour pallet for each and every scene worked. Things just meshed together.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile the story made sense it kind of faltered. Even at an hour and half length of time the film dragged on in parts. It took too long explain a sequence, or a flashback just didnu0026#39;t come up at the right time. If a couple of scenes were sped up just a bit or slightly altered perhaps it wouldu0026#39;ve been more enjoyable, but I digress. It is what it is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, Iu0026#39;d recommend seeing this movie in theatres if youu0026#39;re looking for a good action film. Maggie Q delivers an enjoyable performance that will have you rooting for her all the way through. While the score may be forgettable the scenes are truly wonderful with their colour schemes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot sure what else to tell, but to enjoy the show!”
