**_Suddenly... the credits start rolling._** I knew going in that the rating was low, but I thought maybe it was because Uwe Boll have many people who dislike him and maybe didn't give it a fair chance. Now don't get me wrong, the first Uwe Boll movies I saw was 'House Of The Dead' and 'Alone In The Dark' and later 'In The Name Of The King' and they truly were terrible so he does get a bad name occasionally for a good reason. But I've also discovered that he occasionally can be a pretty good filmmaker as well 'Rampage', 'Rampage: Capital Punishment', 'Assault On Wall Street' and 'Heart of America' are all solid movies for me. I think those movies are close to Boll's heart and therefor they come out a lot better as he gives them a proper effort. With this one though, not much effort was given at all. The dialogue is poor, the acting is poor even the cinematography and pace is poor yeah there's really not many positives to give away here. If I was forced to give one positive than I suppose I could say that at least it's not Boll's worst movie.
