A Little, Low-Budget, and Suspenseful Scenario that is a lot Better than You would expect. It has Style and is Scripted for a Battle of Wits between Laurence Fishburne and Thomas Jane.
Fishburne is a Nasty Piece of Work and is appropriately Chilling as a Hit-Man that is Despicable, Cold, and Calculating. Jane Surprises with His Best Acting after a string of Awful Movies and for once He made a Career Decision that is Not Embarrassing.
Ella Ballentine is just Superb showing a Depth of Character Beyond Her Years and the Camera Loves Her. So will You as this Nail-Biter unfolds. The Writer-Director shows some Movie Making Chops and makes this Confined Setting Interesting.
A Movie that Delivers the most of what it has to offer. Brought Home by the Captivating Performances of the Three Leads with a Villain Worth Hating. It's Touching in Spots and Brutally Engaging in others.
Overall, Underrated and the Film goes Beyond its Constraints and Everyone involved can be Proud of the Results. Not a Shoot-em-Up by any stretch. It relies on Character and Dialog most of time, but is not without some of the Visceral needed to make this work, and it Works Just Fine.
