Very bad. If it was just Nicolas Cage on that hideous poster, nobody would care about this film, but names like Frank Grillo and Tony Jaa always draw attention, even Alain Moussi and Marrese Crump, though they are not actors, can do something in martial arts, but here almost everything is wrong. That the film is dirt cheap was pretty clear from the start, but the mini digital effects from After Effects in the form of funny blood, mini explosions that looked like Christmas sparklers was too much for me. I was hoping that since they didn’t have the budget and obviously lack creativity (they are ripping off about ten movies), they would at least bet on humor, but it is completely absent too. If the film is already lame, then for God's sake let it at least be funny or entertaining, but it's boring as hell. The only thing that saves is from being a complete waste is the fact that there is quite a bit of action and that it doesn't engage in unnecessary dialogue. But the fights are unfortunately monotonous with very simple choreography, mediocre cinematography and not very hard punches. Tony Jaa probably has the best scene, but it's not enough. I'm fattened up on Asia and this is a very weak concoction. It hurt to watch the film, but those who like Bruce Willis, Nic Cage or Steven Seagal might be satisfied. Story*, Action**, Humor*, Violence*, Entertainment*, Music*, Visuals*, Atmosphere*, Suspense*. 2/10.

If a few things had been done differently, this could’ve turned into a solid B-movie. The potential was there, and the filmmakers certainly have the experience to pull it off. Not sure what went wrong, though. Take Nicolas Cage, for instance—he fits this movie perfectly. He even has one completely bonkers scene that instantly won me over. But one great scene doesn’t save the whole film. The action is plentiful, sure, but the camerawork is wildly inconsistent. One minute it's great, the next it feels like they handed the camera to a turkey. If you know what you’re getting into, Cage makes it somewhat worth your time. Otherwise, it’s a mess.

The saddest part of this whole affair is the realization that the only good thing here is Nicky Cage, who has been riding his own guilty-pleasure category for 10 years now, and is the only one who brings any kind of insight, and the only funny moment in the entire movie (the paper hat). Otherwise, it's tedious, monotonous with completely bland music (on a side note, the techno bangers from the first Mortal Kombat would fit in nicely), and next to the absolutely uncharismatic devil with facial paralysis in the lead role (Alain Moussi), even Jaroslav Sypal would look like a Shakespearean actor. But still, for Nicolas this must be a dream job. He takes a look at Cyprus (or Romania, Bulgaria, etc.), doesn't get too worked up, chats with his colleagues and eats the catering. And what little he gets will partially pay his debts. Nick, I get you, man :)
