3/10
Interesting ideas, poor execution

Warning: Spoilers
There's a lot of interesting stuff going on here. Bad acting? OK yes but thats forgivable, you can see they are really trying. What isn't forgivable are the missteps that keep the movie from being really good, Who's decision was it to have the assassin spend 5 minutes beating up a drugged out woman and then drag her, wrapped up in a shower curtain to the main gun fight only to never see her again? This is our introduction to the ultimate killing machine? The theme of the movie is an interesting one and the resolution is even well done to a point until it gets all 'Angel Heart' on us... These guys are good at staging a fight but it needed better editing, and a better writer or script doctor.
