Goofs:

Factual errors: In the opening scene where we see the newspaper clippings, one of them is titled "Victims Family...” This is grammatically incorrect: it should be "Victim's Family" (if talking about one victim) or "Victims' Family" (if talking about more than one victim belonging to the same family).

Quotes:

Marnie Rollins: [puts business card in Dekker's pocket] For a list of things you can put in my mouth.

Much better than expected

When I started watching this movie, I didn't expect much. in fact with Snipes and Statham, I assumed this was a typical silly action flick, like transporter 2. But I was wrong, very wrong. In fact this movie is really good. I've enjoyed watching it, which is a big thing cause it was quite a while since the last time I could say that to a movie. In my opinion Snipes plays a really good villain. But unfortunately for the fans, he doesn't get much screen time. OK, there are some clichés in the story, but it's still not a bad one, and you can't guess what will happen next. The only major weakness in the movie IMHO is Ryan Phillipe, his performance is just simply BAD (that should be in bold). If it wasn't for him I'd give this movie an eight. So all in all, I think this movie is worth watching especially for those who like thrillers. But if you only want to see Snipes and Statham fight, or you're looking for plain action, avoid it. There are no fights, and the action is limited to a single chase, and some gunfights.
