The Johnson's hard work and few choreographed action sequences are the only high points of the feature. Rawson Marshall Thurber the writer-director, seems to have taken the opportunity granted for neither his sloppy writing nor shallow execution convinces the audience to be invested in it. He is good on physical sequences although struggling even though improving, on acting skills and also isn't supported to that extent by the supporting cast like Neve Campbell and Chin Han. The action sequences are shot brilliantly with Johnson in command who hits hard and brutal with convincing hand-to-hand combat where his hard work is clearly visible on the screen. The characters are loud, unnecessarily expressive and aren't polished appropriately, leaving them a bit chalky around the edges to swallow. The writing is cheesy, corny and amateur with forced humor installed to balance the commercial aspect of it which isn't palpable to Johnson's character whose effort to breed the sincerity and seriousness communicates unevenly. It is shot decently with some pleasing scenes here and there, that are implemented to attract the viewers which too wears off sooner than expected. It is short on technical aspects like visual effects, (which is a downer considering that it depends a lot upon it) sound department and better editing. **** is a plot driven commercial feature about a guy pushing his limits to save his family despite of being restrained and barred by the nature. It was alright.Johnson's character in the beginning of the feature, says 'I'll just high-five the guy' after attempting to wish in a foreign language, which unfortunately seems to be the motto of the makers - if impossible to justify it, just sleep over it or more accurately leap over it. Maybe the big mistake they did here was trying to play on the Die Hard franchise - since it's a degrading difference if you compare the two.

She didn't have a lot of movie roles, which isn't strange, so best appreciate the few she did. Her first marriage ended with her (90-year old) husband dying within a year after their vows, and the second ended with a divorce. She overdosed on drugs in 2007 - barely a year after her only son did the same. It was a blast, albeit with bad budget, quality, and a busty bimbo in the main role that impresses with little else than her looks.Īnna's a tragic story though, if you didn't know.

It's almost like that old, B-movie style action of the eighties though, a decade past it's time, and I don't mind. The action's pretty explosive - though messy and half-assed, with bullets rarely hitting their targets, and goofs such as one fall onto the hood of a car clearly being filmed in at least two different takes don't really raise your sense of immersion in the movie. The script's not particularly deep, but the helicopter pilot role was new, and there are some intimate scenes so it's not all bad. Nor are the other tough guys - or her husband - though they look good too.

but this time it's also an erotic thriller - sort of, and though Anna Nicole Smith looks great you wouldn't say she's a very convincing actress. Maybe the old and new movie with the same title don't have anything to do with each other after all - apart from both taking place in a fortified high-tech skyscraper within which a group of killers wreck havoc, this time with unknown purpose.
