Hey, guys, if it went under your radar, I recommend this direct-to-video actioner with some parcour, courtesy of Sebastien Foucan( Casino Royale), a fight between Scott Adkins and Kelly Hu, some bloody and violent gunplay, car chases and crushes, also starring Wing Rhames and Robert Carlyle. Not a bad way to kill a couple of hours

There was a fair bit of potential shown but I thought, overall, it was a mess.

Kudos for filming a martial arts actioner in Middlesborough, though!!

Wish I'd have known at the time though since I live there :squigglemouth:
I think some of it was filmed in Newcastle too.

I know some of it was shot in Sunderland - think it was the bus chase scene?

I watched this in bed while I was sick. Like Karlos said, it had some problems. But it was decent as far as mindless entertainment goes. Damn bloody too!

The best part was certainly the brief bit with Scott Adkins. Many thanks to Gorhama for showing me some cool stuff with this guy. Despite Mark P putting Adkins on my radar via the site, I had just never got around to watching anything he was in. The guy is fantastic.

Not great but fun to watch Kelly Hu again!
