Awful co-production. Lots of action fails to cover up a lousy script and even worse acting (particularly Tamsin Outhwaite who should stick to soaps and some American guy with a laughable Dick van Dyke cockney accent).
Dire, awful. You'd have a more productive 90 minutes completing your tax return.
What can I say about this film, other than don't waste your time or money on it. This is a poor attempt at a cops n robbers film, Wesley Snipes seems to lose all interest in this film in about 10 minutes, Tamsin Outhwaite spends far too long seemingly waiting for her queues to say her line, and the car chases are pitiful. I actually rented this simply for the Calibra that the star (Outhwaite) drives, however it amazes me it still runs after 20 minutes (mine is constantly threatening to break down ) Get 'Bullitt' for car chases.....100% better
A very ordinary film despite lots of action and great fight scenes. The plot is OK, but the way the movie is put together is very disjointed and almost amateur. Hire it only if you like Snipes.
Can't see Wes putting this one on his CV. In fact can't see why he bothered in the first place. This had all the hallmarks of a flat packed MFI, DIY, boil in the bag movie. Other than Wes, the acting was marginally better than a school nativity play. The story was just an amalgamation of every other decent film involving cars and grand theft. Easily the most anoying thing about the whole film was the hard core dance music that was belted out at every opportunity. It just made things worse. Always worth watching films like this because you appreciate good quality even more!

Car chases watchable, beaten senseless but still able to storm a building an kill a private army. Story (in the very loosest senses of the word) just stopped. Sub plot lines had no conclusion, the whole plot was weak. Very poor, wasted 90 mins. Could have been worse, I could have bought it, would have been used as a coaster.
do yourself a favour. this is dross
I loved the Blade Trilogy but here Snipes finds himself confronting not vampires but third-rate actors, a lacklustre plot, very poor direction/production, and effects straight out of a low budget 80s Chuck Norris film (which is actually far more enjoyable). The result is dire and I had to switch off. Rent this film at your peril.

Very poor film, don't be fooled by Snipes being in this (not that he's any Pacino). Fairly slow moving plot, very low budget, fairly poor performances by all main characters and overall 1/2 a star at best.
not one of the best films wesley snipes done. it was watchable but not entertaining enough for me
I guess its a bit harsh to say 'Fail'. this wasnt Wes's fault. However, after films like Blade, you expect a certain standard. I will say thoug that Wes actually played his part well. What really let this film down was the other actors & a rather obvious story line (somewhat ripped off from the new Italian Job). Some good car chases, which looked like they could have been taken from 60 seconds / Ronin.
