5/5 An action movie with a surprise: character development!
  by Hypno_Toad (NC)
I was one of the lucky people to see this movie before its release on DVD, its been in a few film festivals and i must say... it is a realistic action movie with characters that you can actually identify with. The stars are not like the super-human ubermensch of the normal action movie, these are people that you can see yourself having a great night at a pub shooting pool with.

Then when the action hits, the plot only supports the character development. (yes! theres a plot too) Speaking of the plot, it is something that i havent seen before... the constitutional (pre 2000) loophole concerning bounty hunters.. interesting.

There are gunfights, doors are kicked down by masked gunmen, the FBI is involved, and the great thing is that if you havent already been desensitized by the modern action movie's requisite "it must end with an earth shattering explosion that the hero somehow escapes" the action and violence is believable and appropriate.

If you miss the days of action heroes that you actually like, if you are sick of the "cop on the edge blows up a small country" plotline, if you like a movie where the plot, the action, the acting, and the characters mutually support each other, then you wont mind the "indy film look" compared to the token summer blockbuster, then you will enjoy this movie.
