Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Sean McGeady

Jean-Claude VanDamme and ScottAdkins are on bum-kicking duties in this lacklustre action yarn. They play contract killers who team up to take down a menacing drug lord, while corrupt interpol agents test everyone's allegiances. What should be an enjoyable slice of OTT action is hampered with a miserable tone that will leave you longing for a bygone era of one-liners and witty comebacks, when the axe kicks and back fists could fly without the need for brooding backstories and complex motivation. The film's biggest misgiving is the squandering of the skills of its martial arts legends. Van Damme and Adkins spend more time shooting guns than their mouths and more time throwing knives than hands. There's promise here - evidenced by the satisfying deployment of Chekhov's remote-controlled gun - but this is a losing game.
