A rookie member of an elite team of commandos, Rama is instructed to hang back while his comrades-in-arms go ahead with their mission to take down a brutal crime lord called Tama. However, the team's cover is blown, and Tama offers sanctuary to every criminal in his high-rise apartment block in exchange for the cops' heads. Now Rama must take command and lead his remaining team on an ultraviolent charge through the building to complete -- and survive -- the mission.
Its about surviving, living and making it to tomorrow. Rama must make him and his team through the building, through the bad guys and hopelly survive to see tomorrow and successed the mission.
A high recommended.

Yet again, Liam Neeson has a certain set of skills that prove to be useful. Honestly, he really should start trying to stay out of trouble. Was this film ground breaking? No, not really. But it was enjoyable in a completely unbelievable way. It feels like a lot of different films that have been cut and pasted together, a little bit of Taken, a smidge of Source Code, but then at some point a lot of these films do tend to all look alike.
A good bit of entertainment, but when it comes to me recapping what films really stood out for me this year it won't be remembered. It's already not the worst Unlimited film of the year though... congratulations have to go to Downsizing for that one.
