Trivia
The original Director's Cut focused on the Annalynne McCord character based on the original script rather than the added role of the Russian mistress played by Kamalya Zahoor. Unbeknownst to the director or the rest of the cast, producer Jeff Most had guaranteed Zahoor's wife a major supporting role, produced and directed a separate music video with her singing in the club, and even shot scenes that were never scripted under the title "Scene X" during principal photography, which they later edited into the final cut.

Goofs
When Callahan orders a bourbon neat, the bartender pours him a shot of Johnny Walker Black Label, which is scotch not bourbon. This happens twice in the movie.

not rocket science, but one of Dorff's better B movies...

It's better than "Brake", and certainly more entertaining than "Somewhere".

I rented "Pawn" and "Officer Down" last night for a b-cop-double-feature. Pawn was alright, but Officer Down gets the nod out of the two for its' better acting across the board.

It marginally works as a character study.

The pacing is alright and the writing isn't half-bad.

The film needed a bit more interaction and back-story to the marriage/wife - which might have added some genuine drama. Really, that was the problem with both of these movies.

While this is a "b" movie, and I am rating it a 6(56/100), I'm not going to be adding to my "jeremy's B Movie marathon list". I don't know that I can give this my recommendation, but there are certainly worse options in the redbox.

The film has just enough surprises, and that 'better than usual' performance from the lead that makes this slightly better than average, and certainly better than most of the b-straight-to-DVD fair that's out there.
