A non Action Actioneer.

This is from the producer of "Sheri" so I had high hopes for a good action packed over the top violent move. Nope.Very few action scenes and most are either underdone or over done.

Action freaks be warned this is more of a drama with a few action scenes.

This is a poor version of " under siege 2" with too much sappy story and not enough fighting.

A few enjoyable cliché scenes help but generally silly and not much of a heart tugger as it seems to be attempting to be.

The special effects are adequate.

The acting is generally passable to good.

The story is hole ridden and silly.
