This is a movie that thinks it's a lot better than it actually is. The wish-it-was-artsy direction and pacing just emphasizes the film's weak points, like the fact that the characters are poorly defined and uninteresting. This in turn sabatoges the film's action scenes since the characters are so unsympathetic. The first big shootout is completely out of left-field; after about an hour of a poor "Godfather" or "Untouchables" wannabe, along comes a sequence out of "Armor of God" or "Eastern Condors." The only thing I particularly liked about this movie was when the villian fools Andy by playing dead. If I ever make a movie I'll rip that scene off. Other than that this movie is a pretty predictable snooze. Two stars just because there's a lot of stuff that's that much worse.
