This is a lesson to all actors: pay your income taxes or you’ll have to star in crap like this to get out of the hole. Wesley Snipes is a disillusioned CIA assassin protecting a bad guy from badder guys. I don’t know why. Three quarters of the film is a shootout in a hospital, Robert Davi spends most of his time having a heart attack, and Zoe Bell demonstrates why she’s a stunt double. Except for the story, the dialogue, the acting, the direction, the cinematography, the special effects, the choreography, the editing, the logic and the music, it’s not bad. Completely ignored everywhere but Japan.
