Agreed with Moltisanti.
This isn't anything new... It's a fairly basic, routine story that we've seen dozens of times before. But... Dolph manages to do a lot with a little, and the final result are things that we don't normally see in these smaller, indie action films -- multiple sets, real character development, and some strong acting. Who knows if it'll be remembered and talked about in a few years (with the over abundance of streaming content, I'm afraid that this'll get lost and forgotten among the shuffle), yet it remains a strong attempt to pump life into this genre, which I'm afraid may be on its way out (there's just no more money in these things; yet that's another conversation for another time). Overall though, this gets a solid pass.
Expect to hear more on an upcoming podcast episode!
