4/5
When a Vagas performer decides that he wants to testify agains’t the mafia it turns out a lot of people want him dead, wouldn’t you know it? A conversation is heard and a hit is placed on Buddy Israel’s head of one million dollars, well it attracts the attention of the worlds best hitmen (and women) and puts his life in extreme danger, with the FBI getting involved and more plot twists we see a story unravel before our very eyes, quite an unbelievable one at that.
I really enjoyed this film. It has a good mixture of comedy, action, thrill and a great story that kept me excited until the very end. I saw this in the cinema when it first came out, and I was amazed that I hadn’t heard anything online about it from anyone else, but then I remembered that I hadn’t been online too much at that time, people had been talking, just I hadn’t been there to read it.
I remember coming out of the cinema and one of my friends being confused with some of the story, now this isn’t hard to do as the actual story behind it isn’t concentrated on in the film, until the very last scene when it all fits into place, now it can be confusing for some to get so much information and piece it together with the rest of the story all at once, but just thinking about it for a minute usually works, my friend understood once we explained it to them once more. Even without the main story this film is a great action flick, I think it needs to be recognised.
Now I bought it on DVD and I still find it an exciting film to watch. I have to watch the extras on the DVD soon, i’m sure they will be good. I’d recomend this film to anyone who can get their hands on a copy. If you like a good action film then this will keep your attention till the very end.
