Newb director Sophia Banks in her first full length feature film also tried her best with the terrible screenplay seasoned writer John Collee came up with. It was a cliched, lazily written with an underwhelming narrative that's been told many times before, and much better. There were more plot holes than thrills. E.g. Isn't the telecom hatch a way out lol? Then there was this action scene that looked like it was edited by a 5 year old, irrelevant frames thrown in the middle of the choreography that would make anyone cringe. Even the normally comfortable runtime of 93 mins felt much longer with the slow pacing and long and mostly unnecessary scenes. Don't get me wrong, from the start there seemed to be potential, but then it started to go downhill fast. And the ending - suggesting a sequel, was a Bruce Willis walking behind explosions with a cheesy narrative of what's to come - utterly cliched, unimaginative and cringeworthy. The performances and casting were decent for a B film, although Monaghan deserves better. The score was typical B grade - annoyingly constant and unfitting for the most part. The cinematography was decent as were the sets and location. Had a much better writer put a little more effort into the screenplay, this could've easily been better. A generous 6/10 from me.

WOW, just so stupid. These guys are supposed to be top agents and so on? WTF. The bad guy is hand cuffed both hands and feet, but escapes with guards watching him? But that isn't even the problem. The rest of the team goes in and checks what happened. They check on the guard who is still alive and strechers him out and gets the translator out. No problem right? WRONG. They completely forget about... the prisoner who everyone knows is the other guard with his face covered. I stopped watching at this point. No point of getting more fustrated. Such a waste of goood actors with a ridicousl plot hole.

Decent for an independent film. Few main stream actors. CGI isn't great and certain moments where the choreography seemed off. Could of been better I think if it had the financial backing.

This film start with the news broadcasting about a bombing at Istanbul hospital, and the introduction of the main character "Abby" scene! As turnout, this film is about an woman "Abby" need to take revenge on a CIA agent "Hatchet", who responsible for the death of Abby's husband, and daughter! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the searching scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the running scene, overuse of the shouting scene, overuse of the blackout scene, overuse of the drinking scene, overuse of the interrogate scene, overuse of the monitoring scene, overuse of the playing snooker scene, overuse of the alerting voice command scene, and overuse of the holding gun scene! Make the film unwatchable! All the action scene have blood, things broken, and explosion at certain point, but overall portray by sideways, have slow motion, and occur in too short of time! Make the film frustrated to watch! At the end, Abby escape from the detain facility, and Hatchet killed by the drone strike! That's it! Another disappointed film!

Liked this movie for portraying the terror tactic used by the USA and Israel against muslims. It was real depiction no more no less. The US and Israel comitted more terror than what is depicted in this movie.
