Warning: Spoilers
I had to look up the writer. Turns out this is his first movie credit.I hope it is his last. Thrown together are a confused, convoluted mess of every thriller cliché and wild-ass idea without explanation for how and why they fit together. Russian Mafia using a Kosher food plant in Atlanta as a front. Orthodox Jewish men (really!) operating under the direction of non-orthodox Russian women who look like prostitutes (got to be an in-joke) and report to their Russian boss (who is in prison in Russia) via satellite phone. The Russians are working with Homeland Security and using a crew of corrupt cops (who are willing to kill one of their own for a payoff) as errand boys. Now: the plan, when the corrupt cops steal the MacGuffin and give it to the Russians, the Russians will give it to Homeland Security who've arranged to get the Russian crime boss released. Ultra violence ensues. Murky plot! Murky cinematography! Murky sound! Murky direction!

Lots of name actors in a hot mess!
