Criminals from America moved to Europe, where laws were replaced by crime after the collapse of Communism. Many of them chose Prague as their hideout, where crime lords were willing to pay assassins in to eliminate their rivals. Ray Carver works for two rival gangs as their main killer. When Ray attempts to murder a drug lord, he is being pursued by the mobsters. Suverov mafia hires Alexey Andreev, an assassin from Russia, to find Ray........Another perfunctory straight to DVD movie starring two actors who went past their prime many years ago, but pop up every one and again in prolific releases. I can forgive Lundgren, he made some wonderful action movies in the early nineties, but lost it around the time of the release of Joshua Tree, and looks bored as ever here.Gooding Jr. Though, he's just going through the motions here. An obvious carrier of demons, you can tell when someone has demons, the first thing they do in the morning is use a punchbag, and spend a lot of the time reading and looking moody.The rest of the film features gangsters of non-specific accents phoning each other up, threatening every one and firing guns and using women as human shields.The two leads pop up every now and again to dispose of the said gangsters, fight each other every now and again, and guess what? In a 'huge twist' they join forces and work together.........so surprising.Set pieces are OK, but the rest is the same old tosh we see all the time, hence the straight to DVD home it has.

As in many movies before, Dolph Lundgren deals with his love for Eastern European / Russian mob themes. And he has always participated in strong feelings movies where love, hate, betrayal etc have been clearly up and vividly performed. Gooding is great as always (Academy Award winner!), but Lundgren does not seem his pale shadow - has he improved so much then? And the guys depicting Russians are equal to the task - if taking into account that none of them is of Russian origin. Alike in other movies by Lundgren, there are lots of long shootings, dead bodies and changing sides - with some unexpected moments, though. If you choose to see this movie, your time will not wasted - although Lundgren has starred in better ones.

Wow... what a steaming pile of s**t.Sorry but.. CGJ is a good actor.. whom has well.. I'm not sure.. other than jumped off a cliff.Insanely bad directing.. writing of a 8yr old.. plot "A" etc etc..A few semi-saves from Dolph.. but ultimately really beyond pathetic.Supposed "martial arts" fighting was.. well maybe a YB at best (I"m 2nd BB/TKD).. my wife w/o "real training" could do better!Hell they couldn't even get the guns right! (Yes I'm qualified however it is a long explanation there.. see IMFDB if this POS ever actually shows up there)Massive FAIL hands down on every front.Oh and for those looking for the cute girls to flash something... good luck! Save yourself the pain and skip this.. if you don't you can't say you haven't been warned....(btw for IMDb "staff": "prohibited words" being "s**t"... oh please... grow up.. most kids in grade one have heard and USE such... enough of the PC crap. It's beyond moronic.

Whether we like it or not we DO often judge movies by the title and/or cover art promo-poster at first. I expected a true 'B' movie here, but what I got was considerably beyond it. It is an intelligent, albeit formulaic plot line, but it also has very intelligent dialog, shot extremely well, and directed substantially better than MANY "Blockbusters" we end up paying far too much for.Here you have the many clichés and standards of an average budget action flick, but what this movie does is engross you from beginning to end. I would NOT consider this a 'B' movie by any means. It stands aside as a well thought out and inspired piece of film making on the merits of writing, casting, crew, production values and certainly Directing!Cuba is truly outstanding here. Best performance in years(I believe). Dolf is...well, still Dolf at his best average, but good casting and acting all around. I recommend this because it surprised me as to certain nuances of actual quality of direction and cinematography AND script writing that is rarely shown in movies of this genre. Note: Many people and critics complain of not being able to 'follow it'. That is likely because a LOT of the story and scenes here are INTELLIGENTLY executed and THAT takes a disciplined attention span to pay full attention to what is going on. On a side note; and part of what makes the 'Love' interest in this movie so good, is that, like 'Remains of the Day', you can truly feel the wistful melancholy of the 'Inapproachable' aspect of 'Togetherness' that, as much as we want it to be, it has another more romantic aspect regarding the questions that it leaves behind.
