One of the better Wahlberg action films. Not too complicated but has a great pace and just simple fun

Not one of Marks better roles but much better than pain and gain and has an actual story line.

Some pretty good action sequences, but everything else in this is ugly and not worth remembering

Despite some decent action and a couple of compelling moments, this is a predictable thriller with the occasional dumb ass decision made.
