A shooter and his spotter lie high in a church tower. When the green light comes he is unable to shoot and his spotter is order to kill him. Before she does, they are ambushed and escape across country. Years later the same two are unwittingly paired for another job and realise that those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
It starts well better than expected, the only weakness of the first 20 minutes or so are some very poor computer graphics. However after that it slows right down and, even though I still expected something more from it it never really delivered. To keep the story going while they set up their shot, we rope in a crazy security guard to keep the story doing something. When the action does finally come it doesn't convince and doesn't totally hang together.
The problem is partly that nothing is explained for the whole film not for tension but just for convenience. They work for an unnamed agency, their jobs have no motive, the flashback story is set in an unnamed country etc. Suddenly at the end we're expected to care about whats happening even if we don't know why it's happening.
It's a shame because Lundgren is actually OK in this I'm not a big fan but he's OK. Bellman is so-so, but she sounds like she's surpressing her voice and sounds weird. I couldn't place her the whole film then I realised she's from the UK and is from the series Coupling. The director has done some OK action movies and did some cool shots with this. It's just a shame that most of it is so dull and without tension even the nice ending is spoilt by what went before it.
Overall good start, reasonable ending but the bit in between could, nay should, have been much better.
