just got through watching this one, let me say first that there a lot of pretty neat camera angles and the part in the hockey rink ( rink or ring, I'm not a big hockey guy sorry) with the black lights is very cool, never seen anything like that before. The story I would say is average, but there is alot of action and a nice little twist at the end, worth a rental for sure, don't think I'd buy it but worth checking out.

    Yeah, I just watched it tonight. They should have cut at least 30 minutes of the movie out because there was too long and too much extraneous story in there that made it a not so good movie. It's also one of those movies that is waaayyy beyond belief, so if you like to over-analyze movies, skip this one.

    Well, I don't think I disliked it as much as you did but you are right about some of the extraneous story parts, like the whole thing with the kiddy **** folks, I mean WTF was that about? But I still think its worth a rental.

    I wasn't aware of this being a reality based movie anyways but thought it was much better than expected. I figured Paul Walker would be lame...like Timeline lame, but he wasn't too shabby. The plotline is twisty and as mentioned previously, the camera work is interesting and overall I liked it.

    A good shoot'em up flick that could have been better had it gelled. The ice rink bit was cool, but 3 slap shots to the face......sorry but, you're going to be looking like Ben Roethlisburger.

    I gave it a 7/10. Good story line and action.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    The movie itself might be a little too wanna-be Tarantino, but the DTS-ES is killer.
