Bad guy Brick Oodie (Clayne Crawford) and his 2-brothers are hired by Celeste (Eva Longoria) to kidnap Rob (Thomas Brodie Sangster), her special needs son, back from her abusive husband, Carlos (Billy Bob Thornton).
What was good? It didn't last too long. What was bad? The script. What was okay? The vehicle stunts were okay. What was annoying? Reminded me of a Chinese Fire Drill. What was missing? Some good CGI, and Billy Bob Thornton needed more screen time. Didn't get it and it would have helped.
Sometimes, I wonder why some movies are made in the first place. Two groups of other bad guys (American Indians) and girls who looked like hookers but were assassins come after our .. gulp .ah ..um .. heroes. Yes, it will take you a while to figure out who the good guys are in this and we are not happy when we find out. Those fight scenes were not good at all and reminded me of an Amateur Night Chinese Fire Drill. See?
Why was Eva Longoria in this? Only Heaven knows, but it was a vehicle for her to use many F-bombs. Why was Billy Bob Thornton in this? To get you to see the movie, tell your friends he was in it, rent the movie, maybe even to buy it. Why was Andre Braugher in this? Good question as he wasn't convincing as the Sheriff. And, lastly, why was Michael Rapaport, as Lucky the store owner, in this? No one knows. (You sure he was in this?)
This was the Oodie brothers' story, but the chemistry wasn't there and didn't hold us. Bummer. Thomas Brodie Sangster as Rob, the special needs teenager, was very good. In fact, his scenes were the only ones worth watching.
The acting was okay at best, but I kept having the feeling that as soon as a character said something, the Director would say, "Cut." Just had that feeling something wasn't right. (3/10)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.
