4/10
Asinine parts of other action movies strapped into one tedious showing.

Warning: Spoilers
You have seen this before, almost with the same exact cast and premise. A few famous action names or faces on the poster, which actually are just in the movie briefly, Luke Goss assembling rag tag group of rowdy misfits trapped in a predicament, and even with the similar lackluster action choreography. However, it has a new twist of "From Dusk Till Dawn" which audience will see from miles away and in inferior quality.

The story follows Wade, not Wilson, (Luke Goss) as he bunkers down on a motel while his bounty, a strange woman attracts attention from unsavory bunch. There's barely any acting involved here as the movie opts for more light action style. Granted, this mindless spree fits theme better than actually trying to pull a dramatic suspense, there's also some attempts in humor and thriller that sadly miss the mark more often than not.

It moves randomly between slow scenes to tease its supposedly shocking plot twist, but sometimes sporadically rushed into action. None of which feels as they are executed nearly, the build-up consists of usual macho gung ho, which is tiredly used in almost every other Luke Goss' movies, while the action part is not sufficiently choreographed nor does it have fast pace combat.

In fact there are times where people would run off the cover during hail of bullets and try to sucker punch the other guy. It's amazingly bad how this silly antic still persists, even in low budget flick. Fans of the genre might have a bit of fun with the carnage, yet it's fleeting and not exactly a more compelling version from "From Dusk Till Dawn", which it clearly tries to imitate.

It's an average action movie that tries to siphon any appeal from better spectacle, and only ends up in overused gimmicks.
