The tag line for this film on Netflix states that three brothers join forces with a world weary cop to save an abducted sister of theirs. The world weary cop is portrayed by Bruce Willis, who this time around looks like he might be a world weary actor as well. I don't want to disparage Willis because I like the guy, but his name in the credits is more intended as a draw; he just doesn't have a whole lot to do here except look the other way as Cole Hauser (Deklan), Shawn Ashmore (Brandon) and Ashton Holmes (Roman) take up arms to rescue Roman's fiancee (Melissa Bolona) from a drug and human trafficking ring led by Max Livington (Mike Epps). It's a fairly by the numbers picture with an odd scene in which the drug kingpin forces Mia (Bolona) to shoot one of his underlings for botching his standing orders to only abduct girls on skid row. With the standard amount of shootouts and assorted gunplay, the good guy brothers prevail but with losses on their side as well. This is a take it or leave it picture, and if you're tuning in as a Bruce Willis fan you might be disappointed. As a time filler, it fits the bill.
