The 2nd doesn't quite make it as a B movie. Poor casting is mostly to blame, but the script and direction are appalling. Casper Van Dien has a vague star quality about him, but is poorly cast as the baddie. The 'climatic' fight sequence is absolutely laughable. The whole film isn't quite 'so bad it's entertaining', as 'so bad it's actually verging on very bad'. Luckily for our damsel in distress, there happens to be a teenager out to rescue her who can defeat a whole squad of ex-special forces soldiers with a few punches. The funniest part of the film is where he teleports out of a building to save Erin at the last moment. Another couple of things worth mentioning is that the Director of the CIA appears to live in a tiny flat like the cheap, scummy flat I lived in when I was out of work and Ryan Phillippe seems to be about ten years older than Jack Griffo who plays his son. The set up at the end for a sequel is embarrassing. Let's hope there isn't a 'The 3rd'.

The trailer for this movie was better than the entire movie. Terrible acting, corny and badly written dialogue, plot holes abound. Predictable story? Check! Goofy kill shots? Check! Swordfighting? Check! I expected more from Ryan Phillippe. The only reason I gave it two stars was because of how enjoyable it was to make fun of it.

Predictable, bad acting, dumb and so, so unrealistic. SPOILER ALERT: For instance, the gun fight scene in the stairwell, I counted Ryan Phillips shooting his gun 34 times without reloading... Then there is the motorcycle/van/car chase scene: bad guys can't seem to shoot in Ryan riding above the roof, and his son after riding like a daredevil on the motorcycle some how manages to fall/wreck on his own, but the worst and most unbelievable scene is the Ryan Phillip son, who after getting shot in the back/shoulder gets in physical fight an acts as if he was never shot. Terrible direction, terrible continuity, just plan terrible movie. If I could give it a negative 0 I would!!!!

I agree with other reviewers, the acting is bad. Ryan Phillips does a fairly decent job despite what he was given. But the story writing was horrendous and no amount of good acting could make this movie good.

Cheesy action scenes, one where they're fighting and the guy stops and to say a cheesy line and leaves by vanishing behind the doorway. He eventually comes back. It's dumb... and really bad writing.

Worse is the ending, because there isn't one. Not for the judgement on the 2nd amendment and not for Ryan Phillips' character. In the end we're left with "who are these guy that just showed up out of no where?"

There's 2nd amendment under tones in here. It was as if the writers and producers were confused with issues on gun laws. They're bad but in order to make a good movie we need guns and violence. You could clearly see the conflicting messages in it.

Dumb movie, dumb writing, and cringe worthy acting.
