After viewing it I sat back and thought wow, a low budget film that doesn't actually suck!
Rick Crawford is Irish born so naturally the accent comes easy enough to him, the other cast I know for a fact weren't all Irish so their accents seemed a bit forced and unnatural. Apart from that I thought the film was a highly engaging and entertaining spectacle.
Rick Crawford plays a great part supported by 2 industry Powerhouses in the form of Keith David ( There's Something About Mary) and James Cosmo (Troy, Braveheart). The action and fighting scenes are gritty, the storyline doesn't drop off, its simplistic and easy to watch and the film plays out at a much higher standard than the budget would suggest.
I really enjoyed this film personally and I've re-watched it since as I liked it that much. A must buy for action junkies or crime fans. The plot depth and script held the film back for the most part and I imagine budget did play a part when it comes to the rather cheap action sequences but I couldn't complain too much.
Whilst this film is far from perfect it's still well worth a watch. 10/10 for effort but a mediocre 5/10 for overall purposes.
