Pretty Good

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Disappointment for a huge fan!

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This awkward piece of celluloid garbage was allowed to escape the cutting room floor. The directors, producers, production company could have done so much better. The actors should have been shot on the spot. This is not the level of incompetence we want to release to the public. I have seen better on a county college film school. Not to be nasty, but you have to get nasty to the people who release this type of manure. High in nitrates, carries across three fields, able to induce DiarrhEEEAR !!get a video camera, invite your friends over, and drink some beer; you can do a better job yourselves.

When ex-con Geraghty comes home one day to find his home ransacked (again) and his girl (Dewan) roughed up by gang bangers, he's had enough. When he decides to take matters into his own hands, he shows up at the scene of a shootout over a bag of money left lying on the floor. After grabbing the money and running. He figures a safe distance away and starts to settle down, only to find bad guy psychotic Slater on his trail.The genre categories on this film are stated as action, drama, and thrills. As for action, very little; drama, more than what should be in any action film; and thrills? Well, no thrills here, especially for someone who doesn't, ordinarily, like movies like this.As for some of the leads, Geraghty didn't pull off his character, at least I didn't believe him and when did Dewan grow up? In two years, she's gone from high school ballet student in "Step Up" to high school teacher (?!?!?!) in "Fab 5: The Texas Cheerleader Story" and this one, where she's just a kid again starting out on life's journey. Slater was always a favorite of mine, but I just could not believe that he's happy with this performance. Whoever taught him who act as a psycho on the edge should give him a refund (or at least change for that dime he charged Slater for the acting lessons).Overall, the premise was good, but the acting was not. Three bad acting jobs takes three stars away from what WAS a good story line. 7 out of 10 stars.

this is one of the best action movies I've seen in a long time..and me and my spouse watch a lot of films.the acting is very believable,and u just feel for the couple who never seem to get any breaks.. If u want to watch an movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat..this one is a must see for you!from the very first scene this movie draws you into to world of duke and amber,a young couple just trying to build a life together.and when duke comes come to find his girlfriend beaten by some neighborhood thugs,he decides he has had enough and after he decides to buy as gun..their lives are suddenly turned upside down and they are led on the ride of their lives...soon they realize they are in way over their heads..and..well now u have to watch it to find out the rest..

This is my first review as I felt compelled to write to say just how bad this film is.The acting is awful. The direction is awful and this type of storyline has been done to death.What was Christian Slater thinking ? I always watch films to the end of the titles but I was sooo glad when the, "Action", finished, I couldn't bear to see the names associated with this monstrosity.If you have 94 minutes to spare, just go and stare at a wall, you may find it more entertaining.
