This is what happens when the writers and/or directors have different ideas on what kind of movie they will end up with.
Someone wrote this as a actionfilled B movie with the usual unintelligent bad guys, henchmen that goes one at the time against someone that just killed 10 of your buddies, and a Bond villain, that just is out to cause as much murder and mayhem as possible without any real reason. ( The only number we got were 3 million dollars, and some vague clients from other countries. )
Then someone wanted this to be a drama movie about family, grief, loss and how family can be more than just blood band. I am ok with a flashback to a happier time with your family in a movie, but here i lost count after the fifth time. We get it, just stop it - now i am irritated.
If you wanted some action scene with Dolph lundgren or Mickey Rourke, just forget it. They are Bruce Willing it up as much as they can, and hardly move at all. He is very sick, what is their excuse ?
So action or drama ? Well it fails in both part, as we really don´t care about the characters.
