★ 5/10
Paint-by-numbers modern-day western that doesn't have a whole lot to offer. The fights were okay I guess but acting was subpar including Scott Adkins who doesn't have enough charisma to carry a film like this on his own. The finale versus the sheriff, and I know what they were going for, but it was pretty laughable. 2.25/5
