Casting Pierce Brosnan as a tough guy always seemed odd when he always looked thin and lacked muscle. However he makes up for it here with a sense of real badassery conveyed through the use of his eyes.
Throughout the first few acts, there is an intrigue and believability, in addition to a real menace for the antagonists. This is successfully translated through a number of great scenes as new characters are introduced and dialogues are first exchanged.
However once the flames are set in motion, it is put out almost immediately. The second half is unwatchably boring and lacks any sense of fire or fury that the emotions demanded. This isn't helped by low grade TV like cinematography and boring compositions.
