| User ReviewDavid WFun bit of noir...nothing too serious, but good.... |
| User ReviewAl SIt's a smoldering and explosive crime-thriller. It's stylish, gritty and sizzling film that's packed with action and character development. It's A History of Violence meets Reservoir Dogs with the gritty edge of an old-school western much like Unforgiven or High Plains Drifter. A brutal, smart, heart-pounding and compelling action-packed film. Director, Keith Parmer crafts a edgy, rich-in-character and exciting drama that shines with a good script and great performances. The cast is brilliant. Lennie James is excellent. Grant Bowler is fantastic. Catalina Sandino Moreno is wonderful. Jean-Claude Van Damme is terrific. Its one of his better performances and characters, he's clearly not an action figure but a man who has done his time and just wants to move on and make a life, Van Damme is rather fine in this more dramatically motivated performance. I love how a lot of the characters are written and what motivates them. An excellent movie. |
| User ReviewKelli PStylish and beautifully filmed crime caper with a great performance by Lennie James. Doesn't take itself too seriously so it makes for a breezy ride through the deep and abandoned West. Big casino heist movie meets High Noon with bad guys, really bad guys and all the trappings you'd expect; great old cars, riveting soundtrack and a cast of quirky and expendable townsfolk. |
| User ReviewMatt SHas a modern day western feel to it, entertaing but not a lot of screen time for Van Damme. |
| User ReviewCaleb Man above average western with a decent cast but it felt unoriginal and the characters were so complexed that you almost didnt know who they really were an all around decent film a one time watch! |
| User ReviewPaul DGood story and a very decent Mystery/Action flick. |
| User ReviewBruno VA good B-Movie , the acting was good enough , the story also , not enough minutes for Van Damme ...Gone to Soon . SOMDVD |
| User ReviewMartin GJean-Claude Van Damme est très secondaire dans ce film. Après plus d'une heure on arrive pas toujours vraiment à comprendre l'histoire , où du moin son intérêt. Le film reste tout de même assé bien réalisé mais est loin d'être digne de mention |
| User ReviewLuciano GAn interesting plot, with good acting, and nice cinematography. Seeing JCVD do his "actual acting" thing is also fairly enjoyable.... he manages to entertain with his french (Belgian) accent and a simmering manner that seems to add depth even to a character that has little... |
| User ReviewLuke GRemotely entertaining and well acted; however, impeded by a TNT made for TV movie feel that never builds steam enough to move down the track. |
