Having seen the trailer, I gave this film a shot. In the beginning, I wasn't disappointed. The first few scenes were quite good, obviously imitating the cool atmosphere of films by Tarantino and Rodriguez. This lasted only for the first 10 minutes though.The rest of the film dragged on to include family drama, ridiculous array of stand-offs and completely illogical character decisions. The actors could have probably managed a more believable performance, since the cast was decent, but they had nothing to work with. The initially cool and skilled outlaws break down into randomly psychotic, calm, honourable, greedy, sadistic or thoughtful, at the drop of a hat, from one scene to another.I cannot recommend this film. It is a forgettable mess, which after the first few scenes, didn't even seem to try to be anything else.

This is not a Jean Claude van Damme vehicle (putting this out, because I can imagine that some countries might try to sell it that way). He's taking back seat with a more chilled out character and lets others go crazy. Lennie James whom I really noticed in "Hung" (nice small role in that TV show) is taking center stage.The story is pretty bog standard, but it works for a small budget movie. It tries keeping the story flowing and doesn't take any prisoners (a bit of a western analogy can be made). The flashbacks are there to help us and move the story forward. Some character relationships are a bit too complicated and might not work entirely. Still nice effort and the tension it builds is decent enough

I've never seen a film before where I couldn't hear the dialogue but every five seconds a loud soundtrack blasts so I pretty much had the remote in my hand the whole film. The story is stupid and the characters are disgusting and vile. Alfred melino was just stupid and goofy. And the tramp of the sheriffs daughter is just begging to get into trouble. Then there are the town's hillbilly's whom are a great advertisement on why not to visit middle America. Even at volume full whack I couldn't hear what JCVD s dialogue was as he mumbled. Not surprised as he is a terrible actor.
