I'm a fan of both Michael Jai White, and the almost 70 years old Mickey Rourke, who is - botox aside, still built like a brick house. But what experienced B-film writer, producer and director Asif Akbar, along with two other experienced B-film filmmakers/writers gave use here, is an embarrassment to MJW and Rourke. How these three seasoned filmmakers and producers could present this mess, is astonishing.

The conceptual story was interesting, and had potential. But the terrible screenplay with long dragged out scenes and laughable dialogue, along with Akbar's 5th grade drama class level of directing, just made the entire film cringe, with the viewer praying for the end credits.

The sound was off and distant - y'all ever hear of "boom mics"? The score was your typical B-grade loud, constant, annoying and unfitting score. The cinematography and camera work was horrid. The acting lacked any direction, and for the most part, you can tell the actors tried their best, considering. There were endless plot and technical issues. Even the action was poorly choreographed and looked like something out of the 80's. The editing was really bad, with scenes dragged out and/or unnecessary. The 93 min runtime felt endless with the slow pacing and dragged out scenes. There was just too much nonsense filler, and very little substance, and everything was predictable and cliched.

I don't know who's funding Akbar's films, but they should make him go to film school before handing over any more cash for other films. It's a very generous 3/10 from me.

I'vr enjoyed many of Michael Jai White's movies but not this one. He seemed to phone in his performance. Mickey Rourke was almost unrecognizable and moved robotically. The script was predictable and the dialogue awkward.

Ha ha ha, Mickey Rourke has pumped so many fillers, I think he uses the same surgeon as Val Kilmer as they now look similar. Michael Jai White obviously hasn't kept up with his workout regime, I'm guessing that he enjoys puddings. The movie missed its mark, sadly. I found the pace a little slow and too many long winded scenes that did nothing for the movie. After the 10:30 mark I couldn't take this seriously. I don't think that I'll be recommending this.

....just a lot worse. The Movie Albeit could have had Potential but this played out like a pretty bad B Movie at best. The Actors other than Jai White,Rourke and Fahey all looked like they had one screen test and we're just hired on the Spot.

Rourke Seriously looks cosmetically like things just went from bad to worse over the years and I Still never understand why these people do these things to their Faces and Bodies in the USA. He actually looks Scary!!! Maybe a Horror Genre May suit him these days.

Jai White I know is getting on in years now and although I've a lot of respect for most of the movies he's done this one he should have passed on. At some point watching this I almost expected Steven Seagal to make an appearance as it has the same style to the repetitive bad Movies he churned out over the last few years.

A Harsh Review I know but deservedly so in my opinion. Watch it and you will agree.

Oh boy!!! Stinkiest of the stinky!!!

You might as well just watch the trailer because it has all the good parts crammed into one minute. The rest of the movie is just horrible. The worst part about this movie is the technical errors. Poor lighting poor audio and the continuity is just pathetic. Silencer on gun, silencer off gun... the next shot silencer back on gun. Simple errors like that.

DEA agent James Baker (Michael Jai White) is struggling after a bad mission. He returns home suffering PTSD. Unbeknownst to him, his daughter found some money hidden in their house. Harden criminal Johnny (Mickey Rourke) had hid his loot in various places in the house. He gets released from prison and is looking to recover his money.

There are a few guys here that I haven't seen for awhile. Rourke looks like he took all the steroids and HGH. He's definitely been using his drug muscle and he's a far worst actor for it. This is a B-action movie. I don't mind the action. Some of it is actually professional bordering on fair. On the other hand, the acting is bad and the two young actresses are probably the worst. They are fingernails on the chalkboard. They make this bad movie even worst.

1hour 30 mins of pure mental torture. Cringe worthy dialogue, honestly the script writer needs to rethink his/her career. If youve not seen it yet, don't bother. If you have I'm sorry you had to go through that. Absolute disaster of a movie.

I see a theme going on here. Steven Segal introduced the world to Aikido, and went downhill from there.

Dolp Lundgreen had the looks and the physique but went from action star to Bruce Willis low quality movies.

Scott Adkins had a good thing going with Boyka and Blood & Bone, but turned towards low budget movies.

Michael Jay White has amazing physique and iconic moves - such as Blood & Bone prison scene, but his latest movies has followed the same path. Low quality crap that no one wants to watch.

Hey martial artists! We are here - your fans. Give us good movies we will give you good reviews. We will buy cinema tickets if you make it to the silver screen. But don't go Bruce Willis on us. We'll leave.

At a trim 93 minutes, this movie felt like it was over 2 hours. Bad writing and wooden acting didn't help it either. Ludicrous action scenes and too many subplots kept this movie bouncing around like a pinball trying to stay alive in an arcade. Unfortunately, all it can register is a big 'TILT'.

Couldn't tell if I was watching mrs doubtfire or an action movie. Worst acting, obvious story line, and just plain boring. Wish Apple had a request refund button.

I'll start by saying I'm a big MJW fan so I had high expectations watching this movie and man did it deliver. Even my wife enjoyed watching it after reluctantly agreeing to watch it with me. Worth the watch, good movie.

Punisher traumatic stress disorder ... no wait that's post, so no pun intended. Actually if you saw the Netflix show (now on Disney plus) of Frank Castle also known as the Punisher, you'll get my pun and very likely will agree with it.

That said, you should not compare those two items. The Punisher was above and beyond - this is flawed to say the least. I reckon I am a bit of a sucker for action movies - even the low budget ones. Even the ones that have more than one issue to them. Add to that an inflated Mickey Rourke and you'd be excused for not really liking this. Even though it has a Michael Jai White in it - who is always trying to do his best.

Action scenes are decent - but the story is out there. With a lot of madness going on. And quite a bit of convenient timing .. but hey, that's to be expected, yes?

I'm disappointed by this appalling attempt at a thrilling action movie. The story is very basic, the script atrocious along with the directing. Such a shame to see the likes of Mickey Rourke and Michael Jai putting their names to this.

The most ridiculous thing I found was how so many people in a average size house seem to have no idea of what is occurring in the other rooms. I think I have been generous giving it a 3.

Don't waste 90 mins of your life on this one.

I was going to send a letter to the writers to ask for my time back that was wasted but I know that won't happen. The acting was horrible, and the special effects was not special. Michael Jai White was OK in this movie just not enough action, and he looked like he had a few more cheeseburgers recently. Mickey Rourke........bout time to call it quits his face looked like it was molded from playdough. And some scenes it looked like he was in lala land or just not following lol watch how short his lines are!! I had more fun pointing out the flaws in the movie that is what made able to watch it.

Mickey Rourke has become almost unrecognizable, with his mouth and face resembling your typical Hollywood starlet crossed with Val Kilmer sporting aged tanned skin. If he's sporting a 6 pack, it looks more like he's been drinking them. He's clearly the best actor in this film, with a number of bit players (like the parole board) who appear to be bargain basement amateurs to save money on this low budget bore.

Michael Jai White continues to have his career plod through films far too terrible for his talent and, alas, he too is starting to show some middle age, slowness, and lacking that super quick, powerful badassery that was his trademark. He looks like he's added some middle age heft in his midsection.

And then there is the script, typical, lazy crap that makes you wonder why these writers still exist in Hollywood. Funny stuff like a man who is still haunted by his missions, taking his pistol and shooting up the wall in his sleep - coincidentally at the exact same time some baddies are reconning his house... oh boy. After the first half hour, it was clear this slow burner was a real loser with some reasonably well known names. Yawner.

It's so bad that even Michael Jai White's martial arts are non-existent. You can see the choreography going in slow motion. Since MJW seems unable to pull off what he was known for, the camera does cut shots of results, like leg hitting head instead of showing MJW executing a simple hook kick. It's a phoned in performance with Rourke walking through his sleep in Expendables mode. This movie is totally dispensible.

This movie moves like a steam train low on coal. I only gave it a 3 because I like Michael Jai White. Opening scenes were good and then the steam started to run out. It's a B movie from a B movie director. I found it funny how the gun carried by James toward the end of the movie loses and regains it silencer between cut scenes. Michael please consider the scripts you are presented with more carefully in future. You are way more talented than this. The five senses says this is FAKE.

It's so great everyone is allowed to give their opinion, but it stops where one says what must be altered in characters and scripts and the whole screenplay.. You just say you like or dislike a movie, got amused or angered, but if you have critics of the actors, director, and the movie in it's whole, you must be able to proove, that you can do better.

OMG.... This is THE most disgusting movie, laughable, absolutely horrible I have EVER seen in my entire life. I don't do the commenting etc on here but I had to with this movie. DELETE!!!!!!
