Goofs
In one of the scenes where Ray chases a madman throughout the arena, a clip where Brock Lesnar jumps up to the ring, the banners are titled "SummerSlam." However, in another clip a few seconds later, there is an opening pyrotechnics display for Royal Rumble, which only happens at the beginning of a show and not during an entrance.

Featured review

Has a great and tense story that actually makes up for the lack of dramatic acting and is actually pretty good in spite of itself

"We have a bomb strapped to a kid somewhere in the city that only an unidentified dead man knows the location of, and we have 6 hours and 42 minutes to find him." Ray (Ziggler) is a detective who hasn't been the same since he lost his son. He keeps crossing the line and is finally facing suspension. When he finds out that a young boy has been kidnapped and strapped to a bomb he ignores his suspension and sets out to find him before its too late. Now, facing a deadline Ray and IA officer Julia Baker (Isabelle) put their differences aside in order to save the boy. This is a movie that has a great plot, it is very tense and exciting to watch it unfold. The one thing it is missing are the actors to really pull off the drama needed. Going in, since this is a WWE movie that is to be expected but it still seemed to hurt the movie. That said though, this is perhaps the best WWE movie to date. Overall, a movie with a great and tense story that actually makes up for the lack of dramatic acting and is actually pretty good in spite of itself. I surprisingly give this a high B.
