  ★ 3/10

  Its supposed to be an action film but it takes, far, far, too long, to get off the ground. When it does get moving, it feels more like a series of random action encounters, than anything cohesive or worthwhile. This I believe, has more to do with the poor scripting than the actors. Its heavy handed, cheesy, cliched characterisation's, dreary narrative and predictable, dull back story, don't leave a lot to like. All in all, i found this one boring and fast forwarded hoping it would get better, it didn't.
