Michael Ledo Ray (Nick Nemeth) is an unorthodox Seattle detective who makes his own rules. He gets suspended by Lt. Julia Baker (Katharine Isabelle) while pending an investigation which will lead to his termination. While he laments over the loss of his son three years ago, he gets a call back concerning a child kidnapped by the Russian Mafia and has a bomb strapped to him demanding a $2 million $112. 35 ransom. They specifically want him. Ray is not reinstated and is tailed by Baker to report on any breaches of conduct. With the clock ticking on the boy, Ray goes very rogue and drags Baker into his antics.This is a modern day "Dirt Harry" type of story. Instead of a crazy guy, it is a Russian, and instead of a little girl being buried, it is a boy with a bomb, but you get the idea. Katharine Isabelle was excellent in her role providing a subtle sexuality and good chemistry with Nick Nemeth. Action with a good blend of humor and drama.This is a good film for those who like a vigilante cop film without any heavy thinking. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Expected violence/killing.
david-sarkies Honestly, this movie is pretty bad. It is full of cliched characters and the plot is so unoriginal it literally made my eyes bleed. The only reason that I haven't given it a 1 is because the acting was half decent, which is somewhat surprising considering a bulk of the actors happen to be 'professional' wrestlers. Then again, they are wrestlers, and as we know, the whole wrestling scene are little more than scripted acts with no actual skill involved. Actually, I worked that out pretty quickly when one of the scenes was actually set at a wrestling match (and the sergeant was inordinately buff). Oh, and don't even get me started on the racial profiling. So, we have this cop that can't work with anybody else and likes to do things his own way (pretty cliched, I know), and he busts open a Russian gun smuggling ring but it put on suspension because he shot his partner just to prove that he was not a cop. Anyway, another Russian sends him a message with a video of a boy held hostage with a bomb strapped to him, and says that if he doesn't get millions of dollars he will blow the kid up. Oh, did I also mention that the bomb has a timer, so when they shoot the kidnapper, they then have to race against time to find the kid and defuse the bomb. Yep, pretty cliched. Oh, and there are some pretty unrealistic scenes in the film as well, particularly when he bursts into the Russian consulate, shoots up half the guards, and then not only beats up the ambassador but shoves a pen in his leg. Sure, the Russian crime boss comes after him later, but for some reason I don't think that has anything to do with the consulate because he had already upset him earlier in the movie. Oh, and not to forget that the Russian consulate happens to be a front for a gun smuggling operation - you see what I mean by racial profiling, the thing that I get from this film is that basically all Russians are crooks. Yeah, there really isn't anything about this film that sets itself apart from the multitude of other police dramas out there. Okay, I won't actually say that it is boring, but really, it certainly didn't suspend my disbelief. Oh, and need I mention that once the film is all done and finished, he actually doesn't get into any trouble, despite the fact that he beat up half the police in the station, and even kicked his captain in the nether regions. You see what I mean?
piercedavid-71648 I'm sorry but the film was just horrible. I watched it the other day, and it felt like a 10 hour long film rather than a less than 2 hour one. The acting from the protagonist was so bad that I fell asleep several times watching it. Don't listen to the other reviewers.I have watched other WWE movies in the past, so the measuring stick for this movie wasn't that big going in and despite that, this movie couldn't reach the top of it. There are other wrestlers in WWE who could be great actors if given the chance, but the promotion is very corrupt and biased, so only the backstage favorites get that chance. I wish they would let someone that can act get an opportunity like this for once.
Tony Heck "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.
