    Destroyed by the studio

    My first reaction to this film was that its a nonsensical mess like most other video game adaptations. However due to a good directorial effort from Xavier Gens and good acting in the lead performances, I dug deeper.

    I found out that towards the end of the production the director was denied final cut and sent on his way and the studio brought in someone else to re-shoot and re-edit the film, this explains alot.

    To sum it up, its a no brain action film, which at times feels like a rip off of the Bourne films, which alas could have been so much more.
