I was really excited about watching this movie. Mamet is good at his craft, I love martial arts, Randy Couture is in the movie as well, all in all it promised to be a film I would enjoy. I would be lying if I said that I liked it. The plot was weak as were the characters. The ending was unintelligent, cliche and melodramatic. The action sequences were not very well shot/edited. The acting was reasonable in most cases, but that did not even come close to making up for the slew of other shortcomings of the movie. Mr. Mamet your work was truly disappointing.
