To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Samuel L. Jackson and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, apparently, it was in fact the most expensive movie ever made in Finland and it was definitely fun to see Jackson showing up in a Finnish production. Eventually, I wonder if this movie had been a hit in Finland (in most other countries, it was a direct-to-DVD release). Anyway, as far as I was concerned, I can't say that I was really impressed by the damned thing. I mean, I respect the fact that the makers didn't pretend to deliver anything really groundbreaking but what was the point of copying the most basic US action flicks if the end-result would turn out to be just as generic?ย I won't blame Samuel L. Jackson, he did his best with the material but there was not much chemistry between him and his young Finnish colleague. Eventually, it might have been more interesting if the whole thing would have been more absurd. Anyway, to conclude, even if I have seen worse, the damned thing was still pretty weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.ย
