1/10
A complete waste of time!

Warning: Spoilers
Who are the people saying this movie is good? I am a huge Rutger And Dacascos fan, which is why I rented this clunker! Let this serve as a warning to others: Rent this at your own risk!

The plot, which is senseless, is thin is some areas and then so convoluted in others, you feel as if you are on a roller coaster. This movie begins on a tepid note and limps along. There are so many question unanswered. Of course, there are the gratuitous nudity and violence that all these low budget stinkers throw in to attempt to mask the fact that there is no plot. The nude assassin scene just screams "desperate attempt."

The acting, if you want to call it that, was mediocre at best. Dacascos and Rutger are usually very good in their roles. I am sure the fact that there was a terrible story line to work with didn't help to make them look any better. Both of these actors seem as if they are on valium and just flying on autopilot. Everyone in this movie has the emotional range of an android who's batteries are getting low. The female lead gives bad acting a whole new meaning. It seems that these low budget eastern European "films" just throw everything together. Anyone who needs work and is willing to throw away their reputation (past, present, or future) can make a quick buck by appearing in or working on pathetic films such as this one! Lousy, underacted, confusing, sleep inducing...... This movie would have gotten a zero had that option been available.
