- Basically a B movie on steroids, this delivers all the expected, and more than familiar, thrills and spills, but lacks surprise.

  Deeply predictable
  
  This is such a formulaic film, I couldn't wait for it to end. Only rescued from complete boredom by a few scenes from Samuel L Jackson and LL Cool J.
