An average movie

Even though I’m well aware of the fact that his movies are not really good, I always had a weak spot for Renny Harlin’s work, and his movies are among my guilty pleasures. As usual, this one was rather promising, at least, for a short while. Indeed, you had a rather interesting cast, albeit composed of B stars (Val Kilmer, Clifton Collins Jr., Jonny Lee Miller, Kathryn Morris, Christian Slater, LL Cool J). The premise had some potential, I above all enjoyed the fact that there was no real lead character and since Renny Harlin knows how to build a nice mood and I was intrigued at first. However, like most of his movies, the whole thing just fell apart pretty quickly. I don't know, everytime, with most of his movies, it seems that Harlin gets lazy or bored and you end up with a half-baked flick with a few good ideas and many idiotic twists and plot holes. As a B feature, the whole thing remains watchable but I can't say that I really cared for the characters or what they were going through. To conclude, it is yet another underwhelming feature delivered by the Finnish director and I don't think it is really worth a look whatsoever.
