My quick rating - 5,0/10. This movie barely slides into being worthwhile. Chuck Lidell is horrible at acting. And staged fighting. That leaves little good about his character. That out of the way, the main girl, which is the focus of this movie, is actually quite good. Natalie Gustilaya (or something like that) definitely could have a future as a female badass character. Overall the story isn't too bad, kidnap the kid, force her to perform various criminal acts or the kid dies kinda thing. STV that is a bit better than the usual action fare, but not by much.
